FARM CONDITIONS
BETTER IN MEXICO

Continued steady improvement in
conditions in Mexico is the optimistic
view of Alex Saith. manager of the
Hacienda Manuel. who has been in
the republic for &c years, now visiting
in San Antonio.
The hacienda consists of about 90
600 acres but only about 5000 acres
has been placed in cultivation. Cotton
production on the hacienda this year
was 416 bales. Garden truck. es-
pecially beans and corn. is rnN,d
tensively and this year 200 acres were
planted in tomatoes.
The tomato crop was so good and
the demand so great that he will plant
800 acres, preparations for seeding
having been completed. Four hun
dred acres of beans are now being
planted.
Arrangements have been completed
for a company To take charge of the
tomato crop at the ranch as soon as
it is gathered.
Resources of Mexico have barely
been touched, according to Mr.. Smith,
who says that hundreds of acres are
being placed in cultivation each year
by the hacienda of which he is in
charge, as well as many others.

Budget Increase
For Postal Service
And Veterans Bureau

Washington. Dec. by the As
ISOLATED Press).--The expenditures of
the federal government for the coming
fiscal year were estimated today by
President Coolidge at $3,S96, 207,921,
an increase OF $16o.oSS,s2e over the
outlay for the current year.
The bulk of the increase goes to the
postal service, which is operating
under a new schedule of wages and
rates, and to the Veterans Bureau, to
meet increasing requirements of the
soldier bonus. The Post Office Depart
ment alone is allotted s10S,sos,14s
more than during the present year.
The Veterans Bureau gets an increase
of $53.265, 900
Allotments for other agencies of the
government show a number of lesser
increases. balanced by about an equal
number of decreases.
Maintenance of the army and navy
at their present enlisted strength is
contemplated under the estimates. but
the aviation services are allotted
somewhat larger funds for purchases
of equipment. The Shipping Board S
expenditures show sharply the shrink
age of that agency through sale of
lines. while expansion of the govern
ment aid policy in building post roads
accounts for additional money re-
quirements for the department of
Agriculture. An estimate of 1880
529 for enforcement of prohibition is
contained in the Treasury allotment
As transmitted to Congress in the
annual budget, the Presidents esti-
mates for the fiscal year 1927. be-
ginning July I, next, as compared with
the amounts appropriated for the same

signed to maintain the present status
of heavier-than-air craft and assist In
purchase of modern planes.
The Treasury Department is given
an increase of $3,S55.309, due chiefly
to the cost of prohibition enforcement.
The Coast Guards increase was from
S2O,597,S35 to $24,243.140.
The Interior Department suffers a
greater cut than any other single
agency. Estimates of it's needs for
next year are $11,28S,001 below its
present appropriations. Estimates for
reclamation projects are reduced by
about $i,300,00o.
The increase Of $103.S0s,14S for the
postal service is based on an expected
deficit of $36,000,000 on the years pos
tai business.
Veterans Bureau requirements un-
der the bonus law are increased from
$50, ZOO, 900 in the current year to $40,
10000 land for compensation under
1927, OOO, 900 to S140,S00,000. Conditions
point to the need of an additional
$106 100000 for the bonus before the
year 1927 Is over.
Although the Department of Justice
has $161.205 added to its estimated
needs as compared with last year, the
itemized statement discloses reduc-
ton from $2,177,500 to $2,000.000 for
detection and prosecution of crime"
and from $22S,0O0 to $135,000 for en-
forcement of antitrust laws. The ap-
preparation of 100000 available this
year for prosecution of war frauds is
entirely omitted for 1927.

The increase In estimated appropria-
tions for 1927 is thus shown to be
$154,420,S6I as compared with a bud
get bureau calculation of $16O,0S3,326.
Payments on public debt retirement
and interest are automatic and the ap-
preparations made for those items
failed to coincide exactly with the re-
quirements, thus accounting for the
difference on the basis Of the treasury
records.
The Nays appeal for general re-
Punishment which included recruiting
to its full authorized strength Of S.
600 men together with slightly larger
purchases of aircraft was responsible
for a proposed increase of $S,007,052
in that services appropriation. Three
million dollars would be added for ma
wy pay, and $4,110,000 for aviation.
The estimates contemplate continue
ton Of all present work, active opera
tion of present yards and stations and
the laying down of three of the pre-
viously authorized eight scout cruis-
ers. No material change was proposed
for the Marine Corps.
War Department expenditures show
a cut of $4,124,406, much Of which is
taken up through curtailment in the
estimates for rivers and harbors. That
item amounts to $56,037,600 compared
with s59,277,990 for the present IL
months, the new estimate carrying
10000, 900 for flood control on the
Mississippi river. For the army air
service the estimate is $1S,050, 000-an

The highway chief, after a brief
account of the manner in which the
officials of the state highway COM
mission had kept the work of that
department at such high standard
offered list of ten suggestions for
the building and maintenance of high
grade highways. The list follows:
First-That municipal officers. or
some body duly qualified and author
lied by the town. carefully classify
all roads and streets as to their i'm
portance from a traffic standpoint. A
comprehensive traffic survey will
readily disclose the relative import
ance of every mile of road in any
town.
SeconA-That each spring the mum

make a thorough and complete in
spection of all roads.
Third-That the general road funds.
exclusive of appropriations made at
town meeting for specific jobs. be al
lotted to the several roads and streets
in accordance with their importance;
in other words, that expenditures be
budgeted.
Fourth.-That a properly qualified
man be employed to have charge OF
and be responsible for road expendi-
lures. This man should preferably
be an engineer having experience in
road construction. maintenance and
Management. He should be appoint
ed by the selectmen rather than
elected at town meeting. This
method of selection concentrates the
responsibility on the municipal Off
GERS and they cannot pass the
buck" by saying This man was
elected by the town and we have no
control of him"
Fifth.-That the execution OF road
work be turned over to the man so
selected without any strings Of a
political or other nature.
Sixth.-That the municipal officers
exercise general supervision only
oxer road work. to see that jobs or
dered by them are done.
Seventh.-That the roads be di-
vided into sections for maintenance
and the patrol method established.
Eighth.-That the municipal Off
GERS make an inspection of all roads
each fall and report to the succeed
ing town meeting their recommends
lions for the current years road
work, with estimates Of cost.
Ninth.-That these recommended
tions be followed in whole or in part.
