FARMERS ARE 111.
BETTER SHAPE
•r WARNED AGAINST ANY EXPAN
SION IN PRODUCTION HOW
EVER.
Washington.—Declaring the farmers
generally are in a better position to
day than at any time since 1920, the
department of agriculture, in a state
ment on the farm outlook for 1926,
Baid that "any general expasion in
production this year would tend to
place farmers in a less favorable eco
nomic position than at present."
There was little liklihood, the de
partment said, of a large domestic
and foreign demand for agricultural,
products. On the contrary there were
indications of a possible decrease in
the demand the latter part of the
year.
"No reduction in farm wages may
be expected," it was added, "and the
cost of farm equipment will probably
remain at present levejs. Sufficient
funds will be available for agricultural
credit in most regions at about the
same rates as in 1925."
A slightly smaller world crop of
wheat was indicated, with world
stocks at the beginning of the new
crop year "not burdensome." With
domestic stocks likely to be smaller,
the statement declared that average
yield probably would place export and
domestic prices "more in line with
those in other exporting countries
than at present."
Corn acreage equal to last year, the
statement added, would suffice with
average yields to meet feeding and
commercial requirements as fully as in
1925. Relatively low prices probably
would coontinue for oats unless yields
are greatly reduced.
For cattle the department said "Im
mediate and long time outlook" was
favorable, with a "reasonable con
stant demand" for beef anticipated.
The number of steers was said to be
the lowest In many years, but present
breeding stocks were apparently large
enough.
The outlook for the hog industry ap
peared favorable, with prices main
tained at high levels. Hogs In areas
of commercial production were said
to be the smallest In five years and
the present "strong domestic demand
for pork products" seemed likely to
continue.
Although profits were likely to be
lesß than during the last two years,
the department forecast a "good year"
for the sheep Industry.
Textile Industry Gains Nev/ Markets.
Washington.—Textile Industries of
the United States made a considerable
advance In attaining foreign markets
during 1925. Commerce department
statisticians compiling the figures
found that the country's exports of
cotton cloth during the year amounted
to 477,815,000 square yards, worth
$85,011,000. This was an increase of
13.7 per cent over 1925 figures, and an
Increase of 8.7 per cent In value. The
cotton mills at the same time were
more than holding their own in sup
plying the domestic market, for Im
ports decreased.
Visitors See Ford Cars Built.
Charlotte, N. C.—The Ford Motor
company's big attraction for visitors
in Detroit, a total of 168.927 persons,
representing practically every country
In the world and including many prom
inent personages, visited the plant dur
ing 1925 to become acquainted with
Ford manufacturing methods, the vis
itors' record shows. This was approx
imately 35,000 more than during 1924|
The River Rouge plant of the com
pany, said to be the largest Industrial
center In the world, also Is growing
as an attraction to people Interested
In manufacture on a large scale. Vis
itors at the Rouge plant during 1925
numbered 24,797.

REDUCTION IN INCOME TAX
ADDITIONAL STRICTURES HAVE
BEEN PRESENTED TO THE
SENATE.
Washington.—Additional strictures
on the income tax unit of the treas
ury were presented to the senate in
reports signed by the majority mem
bers of the investigating committee
headed by Senator Couzens, republi
can, Michigan.
Concrete cases were presented in
an effort to show that more than
$100,000,000 in war amortizations for
tax reduction purposes had been al
lowed, which were not based on rul
ings' of the solicitor of the internal
revenue bureau.
Similarly, the majority set up the
contention that something like $600,-
000,000 in amortization allowances
had been made which were not based
on sound engineering principles and
not specifically condemned by the so
licitors ruling."
In the first catagory was placed
among others an allowance of $27,-
926,412 to the United States Steel
corporation, a case which was freely
discussed during the hearings already
widely covered in testimony already
made a part of the public record of
the committee's investigation.
Amortizations which engineers for
the committee contend were not based
on sound engineering principles in
cluded 115,589,614 for the Aluminum
company of America, in which Secre
tary Mellon is a stockholder; $7,258,-
731 for the Bethlehem Steel corpora
tion; $9,912,740 for the National Ani
line and Chemical company; $2,845,-
000 for the Atlantic Refining company;
$1,892,624 for the Pan-American Pe
troleum and transport company, and
$1,675,000 for the " Cuban American
sugar company.
Besides Chairman Couzens, the re
port was signed by Senators Jones
and King, democrats. Senators Wat

mates and was the first time in the
present Congress that budget' recom

The only unusual item in the bill,
the house appropriations committee,
which drafted the measure reported,
was that of $6,000,000 for replacing
supplies taken from the war reserve,
which is maintained on a basis for
an army of one million men.

strength of the Philippine scouts from
8,000 to 7,000 men.

ed officers and privates of the first

grades will be filled only as funds may
permit.
