CONGRESS AND THE BUDGET

As many business man and many a
hOusekeeper has learned, it is one thing
to adopt a budget and quite another thing
to live up to it. This applies With I'M
usual force to the government budget
There is every indication that Direc-
tor-General Dawes has worked on the
budget conscientiously. and done good
job, and that the President. who has final
responsibility for appropriations, is in
earnest about the matter. The present
budget means saving of some hundreds
of millions, if the projected economies
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-12-21

are put through and if congress exercises
enough restraint in its expenditures. Con
gress, too, wants to save money, and
should be helped thereto by the continual
presence of a definite, carefully worked
out system of expenditures.
But congress is always assailed by
temptations to spend, political and other
wise. 1t viii take courage and persever-
ance to live up to this first budget, re-
sistng the eternal tendency to spend
more than there is available, leaving a
harassed treasury department To find
the funds somehow.

seems to be due to the fact that unit
 prices of manufactured goods ad vanced to a higher point than did farm commodities. The ratio of raw ma terials to added value in 1919 was 64. in 1914 66, and in 1909 75. One thing is clear, Alabama is still an agricul- tural state. for when the value of live stock products is added to crops the farms furnished original wealth of more than twice the value which was added to raw materials by man ufacture,
 'The recent advance in the price of cotton has added about 5000, 900 to the value of the present crop. and at least S5,000,000 to that part of the old crop which was held on the farms. This increase in purchasing power has been felt already in Considerable revival of good. feeling and the at tendant increase in business. If this crop and the remainder of the old brings even the present price, with slight advances in other farm prod ucts, it is likely that the farmers will be In very nearly an even situation.

Cotton Seed Values
 Vary Through State

Montgomery, September 1s.- (Spe- cial. .)--Investigations made by the state department. of agriculture,s the results of which were made public Saturday, show great variance In the price of cotton seed M. c. All good, state commissioner of agricul- ture, said it was found that the low :, est price was paid at Fort Mitchell, where seed were being bought. for s22 ton, and that the highest price was at New Brocton, where seed were bringing $40 a ton.
 One Montgomery farm said it would pay $35 4 ton for cotton seed deliv- cred to any loading point in Alabama provided as much as carload was offered for sale.
 Commissioner Allgooda estimated that the buyer of the seed. after con verting them into various products, received s46 for each ton of seed. He also mentioned the fact that the price of cotton seed oil has gradual ly advanced since May, when the emergency ariff-~became effective and the importation of foreign oils was decreased.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-19

creases in the price of cotton had al ready been felt in all lines of bust ness, that the price of the present cotton crop had been increased by about s1s,000 000, and that S5,000,o00 had been added to the price of the old crop.
 MT. Gist predicted that the prices if sustained would cause farmers to even bad situation which they faced at the close of last year, and would mean more .enants could be used next year, thus relieving much of Inc problem caused by unemployment through the south
 The weekly statement on farm con ditions follows: "The week has con- tlnued very warm and without rain except local showers. Cotton has con -' tinued to open until in many fields it Is all ready to pick Picking has progressed rapidly, and most farmers have gone to the kin as soon as they got a load out. Gins have run at fuil capacity. in some places making new records for the date Farmers have sold freely on the high prices, but held back on each drop.
 Sweet Potatoes Hurt
 Lack of moisture has Injured the prospect for sweet potatoes, but the quality is said to be good. Peanuts have also suffered some further de- terioration from the same cause. The latter crop is now being offered for sale and prices for Spanish are around s55 per ton, with runners bringing some less.
 f'The market for cotton seed seems to have been somewhat irregular, re- ports reaching this o-~'ce of sales from $S3, as market quotations are for $35 no reason for selling for less than $3Sl as market qoutations are for s35 in car lots at any point.
 H''The recent report of the census on manufactures in Alabama has been examined in this office in comparf- son with the value placed on farm crops for 1919. The crop value was given as s304,349,00 while the value added by manufacture is now given as $192.067, 900. The latter figures re- fer to all manufactured articles, wstie the crop value given by the census does not include much valuable stuff produced in this state, such as velvet beans. unharvested peanuts and cow peas and such like. At any rate, the manufacturing value noted is -only 50 per cent of the crop value. In 1914 this percentage was A7, and in 1909 it was only 43. The change in ratios
