FARMER FUTURE
CROWS BRIGHT
Wallace Believes Cen
eral Improvement
Will Continue

Washington.-The economic con-
dition of agriculture is on the upward
trend, according to Henry G. Wallace,
secretary of agriculture Prices on ag-
ricultural products are still out OF line
with prices of most other things, he
saws. But there are many indications
promising improvement in this re-
spect.
The most marked improvement,
Mr.. Wallace says, has been IN the
cotton growing states and in the corn
belt. This improvement is due large
lv TO the increased prices OF cotton,
the great textile crop. and corn, the
great grain crop. as compared with
year ago"
He looked for continued improve
ment in agricultural conditions, re-
sulting in an increase in the farmers
buying power and in turn helping M
dustry and commerce generally. Sec
rotary Wallace says the work OF the
department OF agriculture IS not con-
Quoted solely for the benefit OF the
farmers, as many people assume but
the fact is that about half of It's activ-
tiles are carried on for the benefit OF
the general public. Virtually all OF the
activities. he declares, are based upon
scientific research.

 APPROVAL ARC.
 NEW ESTIMATES
Approves Addition of $63l,- 900 to Alaska Road Fund
 for Next Season.

Formal approval has been given by President Harding to the sspple- mental estimates of the Alaska Road Commission amounting to s631,000, local Commission headquarters were advised today in cablegram from Gel. James G. Steese. It is now be- lieyed probable, said Col. J. c. Got walls, Acting President of the Board, that Congress will at least allow a substantial portion of the estimates
 Col. Steese has appeared in the Senate hearings on the Army bill in support of the supplementary es- inmates which were submitted under authority from the War Department after the original Commission esti- mates had been pared down by the Bureau of Budget. Should Congress include them in the appropriation, it would give the Commission a total of $1,096,000 for it's work during the next fiscal year
 Col. Steese, said Col. Gotwals, has about completed his work in Wash ington and will leave there in a few weeks. He has made reservations on n steamer leaving Seattle on Feb fuary 26th, and will come direct to Juneau.
