Treasury Finishes Year Better
OFF Under New Ad-
nninistration.
BY w. II. ATKINS.
international News Service.

The United States Treasury fin
ished the first year Of the Repubn'
can Administration today q htue
better off than II started.
When President Harding entered
office the public debt was $4,000
100000. Since then there has been
reduction of almost $1.00o.00O,oov
in the debt. Treasury plans for rapid
retirement of outstanding indebteo-
ness, in the form Of Victory notes
and short time certificates OF IN
debtedness, contemplate an even
larger reduction In the nations oeot
within the next administration year.
The Treasury cash status has been
helped by the operations OF the
b. .dget system. Officials declare II
has proved the most effective
weapon for curbing loose extravag'
ance and waste.
In a large measure the cut IN
Government expenditures down 70
basis slightly below s4.0o0,000.0oo o
year, for the present fiscal year. mas
resulted from restrictions put on
Government requirements anu
Another factor has been
the liquidation plans OF the ADMIN
tstration. Liquidating boards have
realized about $500. 100000 from
sales of surplus war stocks.
Want Debt Manageable.
One of the chief features standing
out in the Treasury's program aur.
ing the first year Of the HaroinS
regime is the plan to make the so
called short-dated debt OF the coun'
try more manageable.
Within fourteen months more
than $4,000. 100000 In outstanding
Victory notes and certificates OF In
debtedness reach maturity. Inc
maturity Of such a huge portion OF
the debt In such a short period has
dominated the Treasury's position
for many months.
All Of the fiscal plans have con.
tempiated the refunding operations.
In order that there shall be a better
distribution Of the early maturities.
The effect of the refunding opera
tons by which both Victory notes
and certificates have been greatly
reduced has been to improve the
market value OF Liberty bonds.
Gradual increase in the value OF
the Liberties 10 forecast by the
much larger refunding operations
yet to come.
Revenues Are Shr1nklng.
The Administration enters its sec
ond year of power with Government
revenues gradually shrinking. Before
the end of another year. unless busi-
ness takes a sharp upward turn, fur
Their revision of the revenue laws. to
provide additional sources Of revenue,
and perhaps a better distribution Of
the tax burden by shifting the YAK
load from the shoulders Of those
least able to bear II, Is thought to
be probable.
Under the economy program of
President Harding IL In noted. how.
ever, that thus far the revenues have
kept well above expenditures. Be-
cause of the refunding operations, Of
ficials have calculated that the Treas
ury receipts must be kept far ahead
of the outgo.
The Treasury's program now 10 to
avoid entering the money market to
make borrowings to aid payment Of
the Governments running expenses.

of Hans Anderson, but ii Will be
nothing as compared with the ro-
nance Of agriculture when some
great organizing genius shows his
head TO lead the farmers to their
promised land. Agricultural organ
ization is more complex, Of course,
because where there were only few
hundred steel plants there are six
and one-half million farms, but the
financial returns will be correspond
ingly great and far more lasting
when organization is perfected. The
business problems are almost identi-
cally, the coordination of produc-
tion. The Farm bureau and the agri-
cultural bloc are the two first signs
of the times, Upon that foundation
is bound to be built the emancipa-
tion of the farmer for life of
drudgery and a worldwide industry
that will benefit all mankind.

TIE ROMANCE
OF AGRICULTURE

Eugene Grace, President Of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, one of
the latter millionaires created by
Schwab just a. Carnegie put Schwab
into the millionaire class, reports
that the steel industry is sound, with
business improving and with indica-
tions pointing to a steady growth
What a change in a decade Before
the vision Of the elder Morgan mol
ded for the business world the pict-
ure Of co-ordinated trade, the
three or four hundred steel plants
were in chaotic state. The bold
stroke of the iron hand of finance
started the industry along the lane
of amazing accomplishment. The
people were staggered at the re-
suits. They had not even thought Of
industry in terms - the billion. The
timid shook their heads. 1t was adj
mitted that behind the great issue of
common stock there was not an asset
worthy of the name. The plants had
to be replaced every year or two, and
the industry seemed to rest on a
shifting sand. But time, and energy
backed by sterling character and
ability of men like Schawb, soor
turned nebulous assets into a basi:
for sound credits, and today the steeI
industry is regarded almost as the
unfaiIing barometer of the worlds
trade.
The romance of steel excites the
imagination more than do the tale!

During the first half OF the year
there were enrolled in the clubs 664
bows IN all sections Of the State. The
clubs we're organized after the manner

are meeting with equal success. Some
of the tracts of forest under the con.

the judges were considered equal 10
the forestry reserves under the control
OF the experts of the Federal govern

that were partially seeded or barren
and either planted the seed Or trans
planted seedlings in their areas, thus
perfecting real reforestration.

ROBINS REAPPEARiNG
IN GREAT NUMBERS

The beneficent effects Of conserve
ton of wild life 's' apparent just now
in Louisiana by the numbers of robins
that are appearing in many sections
of the state. ETsn within the city
limits of New Orleans they are being
observed in numbers in City Park and
all along the course of Bayou St. John
from Esplanade street to Spanish
Fort. These robins are 80 tame tnae
one may approach within few feet OF
them, showing they have not been
shot at. On the other hand, a recent
visitor to Terrebonne parish noted the
presence of thousands OF robins along
Bayou Black in the vicinity OF Gibson,
but these birds are unusually wlld'
keeping we'll out Of shotgun distance
Of man. The killing of robins is vio'
iation Of both State and Federal laws
and heavy penalty for their killing 10
provided under the Federal statute.

HAYNESvlLLE OIL FIELD
GIVES GTEAT PROMISE

One Of the most promising oil fields /
In the South, and certainly the best
protected of the wealth producers OF
the section, is the Haynesville field In
Claiborne parish Both the Louisiana
Department Of Conservation and the i
operators are trying to maintain this
high standard for the development OF |,
the oil pool-the department, through
Commissioner Alexander, by making t
regulations as to operations and by eA' ,
forcing these operations, and the oper- |
ators by reaching agreements among
themselves to prevent the wastefui
depleticn of the deposit
There were in operation at the last
report 122 producing wells, with a
total production of 60,O53 barrels of oil
q day, with eighteen additional idle
wells and two abandoned outfits. Fig
ures compiled by the Conservation De-
partment February /, showed the fol'
lowing: Pumping wells, 81; with
production Of 1903 barrels daily;
flowing wells, 81; production 45,610
sarrels. swabbing wells, A; produc-
ricn, 1850. The amount OF water
flowing out with the oil is but little
over 1000 barrels daily, or an average
OF Is barrels per well-less than per
/, cent of the flow This keeping out OF
water shows the unusual care that has
been taken in the operation OF the
wells, and the entire water flow has
been confined to the southern border
OF the field. OF the 122 producing
wells only one is making all water,
and its capacity is but $50 barrels
daily.
The proven oil field Of the Haynes
vile deposit covers $3.50 acres only,
and there are yet to be drilled in this
territory over 400 wells. The wells yet
to be drilled will be on the higher por'
tions of the structure an dtheir pro
duction will, therefore, average hlgn.
Hence the prospect is very rosy, and
the future of the field is regarded by
geologists and engineers as assured.
