Washington (UP).-The finan-
cial, economic and monetary struc-
ture Of the United States has been
virtually remade in the first year
Of the Roosevelt administration.
Unprecedented changes IN finan-
cial affairs designed to help pro-
mote Industrial activity, to reestab-
lish the country's banks on sound
basis, to guard against speculative
excuses, and to place absolute con-
troll over the nations money were
put into effect by President Roose-
welt and his advisers.
Among the major financial steps
Of the NEW DEAF are listed the
follows:
liberalization Of the gold dol
lar at 5000 per cent of its former
weight, and establishment of a gold
bullion standard as a step toward
promoting price recovery.
2-Reopening Of nearly 5000 oil
the country's banks after they were
closed by panic of depositors.
3-Estab1ishmnet of a federal
bank deposit insurance plan where
by most of the small bank deposits
Of the country are protected by the
government.
"A system Of refinancing Of
$4.000,000,000 home and farm
mortgages at lower interest rates.
5-More than a billion dollars
of Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration money was poured into
banks, railroads, insurance COM
panies and other agencies to
strengthen their positions.
Huge Paper Profit
The revaluation of the dollar at
a lower gold content and esSab-
lishment Of a $2,000,O 900 sta
Obligation fund out of the "profit
from revaluation was character
ICED as the most important none
tary legislation in the history OF
the country.
Under the plan, all the none
tary gold resources of the coun-
try were nationalized and written
up on the treasury's books to 500
per ounce from the previous level
of $2O.67 per ounce. This gave the
United States government gold re-
serves in excess of $7,100, 100000.
or more than a third of the none
tary gold stocks of the world.
With this gold as a nucleus,
President Roosevelt set about the
establishment of a new money
system designed to put an end to
previous evils such as panicky
withdrawal of the nations gold In
times of stress. Citizens were for
hidden to possess the metal and 1t
was to be used only for settlement
of international balances.
Still unrevealed was the admin
istration's plan for a dollar OF
constant purchasing power. Pre-
sumably d m s com

raised to around the 1925 levels.

evolved whereby the dollar could

commodities from year to year.
Check Speculation

Check Speculation
With centralized control over the
dollar in the hands of the federal
government, steps were taken to
check excessive speculation in the
nations commodity and security
exchanges. This work was far from
finished at the end of the first
Roosevelt year, but extensive
studies were being made for vari-
out speculative reforms.
Most of the financial reform
moves put a strain on the United
States treasury along with. heavy
emergency expenditures in other
directions. Nearly $5,000,000,000
was paid out by the treasury in
the first eight months of the 1884
fiscal year, and President Roose-
welt estimated that total expendi-
lures for the current fiscal year
would reach $1O,569,006,967. With
estimated receipts of $3,259,938,-
1856, prospective deficit of ST.
309,068,211 was indicated.
A record peace time borrowing
program was inaugr"ated by the
treasury to finance huge def
cit, and preliminary ,teps indi-
Gated success of the program. APP
proximately $10,0O0,OOO,O0O was to
be borrowed in the first half OF,
this calendar year, $6,000,000,000
to finance the deficit and $4,000
900, 900 to pay off maturing obli-
cations.
Ability of the government to bor-
row huge sums enabled the treas
ury to boost its ready cash to the
highest levels on record, not ex-
cepting wartime. With the book
keeping profit of nearly 100000
900 realized from the write-up of
the treasurys gold the govern
ment's cash balance stood at one
time at approximately $4,000, 000,-
900.
The heavy borrowing program,
however, carried the public debt
close to record wartime levels. BY
mid-February, the public debt
reached $25,200, 100000, or more
than $4,000,000,000 above year
ago, and approached the $4,000
100000 Outside" limit set by
President Roosevelt for next year.

Two important relaxations in
MIRA price policies have been Or

One executive order, seeking

quote prices as much as IS per

Blue Eagle codes. These lower
prices that would have to be filed
with code authorities so as to be-

A second order dropped fair

Both of these crops absorb most

Usually corn should be side dress

Many farmers have been misled
by the fact that late applications Of
nitrogen are effective in increasing

this does not mean that thu maxi

Late applications Of nitrogen to
cotton increase the growth Of the
plant but delay the maturity Of the

present.
If a good growth of 1egumes
