The committee rejected budget esti- mates of $102246 for acquisition of additional forest lands; $250,000 for the Cheyenne Bottoms migratory bird ref- uge in Kansas, and reduced from $104,- 775 to $89,525 estimatés for the acqui- sition of lands uncer the migratory bird conservation act. It slashed the appropriation for Eu- ropean corn borer control, which has been under congressional fire for sev- eral years, to $40,000 or $255,000 less than for the present year and $171.900 less than budget estimates. i Among_the important appropriations are: $4.607,000 for experiment stations, $12,752,000 for extension and other co- operative activities _ with farmers, $3,731.000 for the Weather Bureau, $11,358,000 for Bureau of Animal In- dustry, $4,510,000 for Bureau of Plant Industry, $11531,000 for Forest Serv- ice, $6,095,000 for Bureau of Agricul- tural Economics, $2,158,000 for plant quarantine, $200,000 for grain futures enforcement, $1,589,000 for food and drug administration, $4,457,000 for forest roads and trails.

Figures detailed at hearings on the| bill told why there is a farm problem. | Farm Income Drops. Nills A. Olsen, chief of the Bureau | of Agricultural Economics, put into the record data which showed the esti-| mated gross income on owner-operated | farms had dropped from an_average of $1,900 in 1929 to $833 in 1932. In these figures were included the value | of the food produced and used on the farms. i ter deducting operating costs and totaled interest charges paid non-farmers, the farmers had, on the basis of partial| figures, well below $300 available for| capital, labor and management in 193: as compared to $847 in 1929. T estimated decline in the gross incol of agriculture as 8 whole in the th years was from around $12,000,000,00. to $5,200,000,000. | “Between 1913 1921 taxes doubled,” Olsen said. “By 1930 they were abcut two and one-half times| what they were before the war, and it s estimated that it requires at the present time around five times as many units of farm commodities as before the war to pay taxe:.” 3 He said that during the five-year period from 1909 to 1914 about 7!z per cent of zgriculture’s income was re- quired to pay taxes, interest cn capital | and wages for management. By 1932, he testified, taxes and mortgage interest took about 25 per cent. The sharp rise in the amount of farm mortgage indebtecness also was de- tailed. In 1910 the figure was given as $3.320,470,000 and in 1930 preliminary | estimates placed it at $9.261,390.000, or | almost twice the value of the 1932 gross farm inccme. . ‘Welfare Group Names Officers.

THE EVI ING STAR, ENOR LA OF GITZEN GROPS Newbold - Noyes of Evening Star Stresses Importance as Civie Institution: ‘The importance of the citizens’ asso- ciation as a clvic institution was stressed last night by Newbold Noyes, associate editor of The Star, in an ad- dress before the Dahlgren Terrace Citi- zens' Association, which met in the Crosby S. Noyes School, Tenth and Franklin streets northeast. Mr. Noyes impressed upon the mem- bers of the association the value of belonging to and taking an ac- tive interest in such an organization. He characterized The Star a ‘“com- munity newspaper,” and said its growth from a four-page, single-sheet paper in 1852 to the present day has been due to the fact “The Star represents the whole community.” The association, of which Willlam H. Luers is president, had dedicated the meeting to The Star, and in addition to Mr. Noyes, Clifford K. Berryman, cartoonist, and Tom Doerer, sports writer and cartoonist, were heard. ~Mr. Berryman drew a number of cartoons for the edification of the large audi- ence which packed the main hallway of the new school building. The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele- phone Co. quartet also was on the pro- gram, along with a Hawaiian string quartet. Refreshments were served . | National after the meeting, at which Mr. Luers urged members to take an active part in the building up of the association and the solution of civic problems of interest to the community. He pointed | out particularly the necessity for ob- taining a bridge over the Baltimore & ©Ohio Railroad tracks at Franklin street. —_— SEAL SALE CAMPAIGN $26,000 SHORT OF GOAL Tuberculosis Assoclation to Re- double Efforts in Next Three Days.
