(25) ‘ ~ Budget Is Cut Agricultural Department Is.the First Reduced Washington Bureau, Nonpartisan Leader. ETRENCHMENT is the biggest thing in the ag- ricultural appropriation bill, which is now being prepared in the house committee on agriculture for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1920.. A Republican congress, pro- viding money to be spent by a Demo- cratic national administration, in a year of presidential election, is agreed that the amount of money devoted to the farming industry must be cut down. Every bureau asks more - funds. Many of the most valuable scientists and practical farmers employed under the department are quitting the.serv- ice because they can not live on the salaries paid. The dollar has shrunk in purchasing power, but their sal- aries have not gone up .enough to make it possible for their families to live on the amount that fed and clothed them four or five years ‘ago. But congress ghooses to keep down the -appropriation, rather than raise more money from taxation of excess profits, incomes and inheritances. Chairman Haugen 'of = the house committee, who presides ' over the hearings that are now being conduct- ed upon the estimates for the new ap- proptiation, says that it is to be re- gretted that the retrenchment is nec- essary, but he sees no way out of it. “If any one of the items of depart- mental work is entitled to an increase this year over last,” he .said to the Leader correspondent, “it is the item for the bureau of farm management, with its studies of the cost of produc- tion of farm crops. It is possible that we shall be able to make some in- crease in that item; it is probable that there will be no decrease, as their work is only beginning. Those studies are of great importance. Our prob- lem is one of keeping down the total appropriation, and under those ecir- cumstances an expansion of any line of work is difficuit. “For the work of the county agents there will probably be available the same amount of money as in the last annual appropriation. - Under® the terms of the Smith-Lever act this work had $3,080;000 last year, and will- automatically be raised to $3,580,000 this year, but we intend to cut off $500,000 from the other appropria- tions for the county agents, so that the final total will -be the same. Last ‘year we appropriated $700,000 addi- tional for the Northwest, $645,000 for the South, and $1,500,000 in general. ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM WILL BE DELAYED “Rozd building will, I believe, be considerably reduced this coming year. In the first place, the building of roads offers work at high wages to men who otherwise would be employed on the farms. Farm hands or tenants who can-get $12 a day for themselves and their teams-on road construction, pre- fersthat work to farming. The result is a shortage of farm labor and injury to farm production. “Moreover, the cost of road building is becoming very heavy. As late as three years ago the government was able to contract for hard-surfaced roads, here in Virginia, for $10,000 a mile.. Now the expense is about $23,- 000 a mile, on the average. “There has been some talk of hold- ing up all federal appropriations for road building for a while, and we will discuss that”suggestion shortly with the director of the bureau of public roads in the department. “For combating tuberculosis among 5 PAGE'SIXTEEN : -I-l-i-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l- ADVERTISEMENTS!
