A series Of six stories on Con-
greas, Its lineups, and the prob
lens Of vast importance which II
will face has been written by
Rodney butcher. Waterbury
Democrat Washington correspond
ent. This Il the third Of the series.
Washington, Dec. 20 - The per-
ennial twin problems Of budget
balancing and unemployment relief
probably will cause the 18th con-
grcss an. the administration no
end OF trouble.
Congress must appropriate money
to operate the government for the
fiscal year beginning July l and
must also make a deficiency relief
appropriation TO carry the Works
Progress Administration through to
June 30.
Already II IL obvious that the
1938-37 budget will not be bal
anced, although rising treasury
receipts from taxation indicate
that II will come nearer to IL
than for several years.
Advance guesses are that the
president will ask Congress for
something like $1,000, OOO,O0
The one place where federal ex-
pcnditures might be drastically cut
is In the relief category, and the
hard-heartcd budget-balancers and
the soft hearted huranitarians al
ready are warning about that. The
fret struggle will come when con-
gress determines the size OF the de-
ficiency appropriation to carry WPA
for the five months beginning with
February.

and bank loans the story Is the
same. Security financing, on Its
face, seems very heavy for 1885.
But most Of 1t has nothing to do
with fresh funds. In ten months
over $4,000,000,000 In new issues
were registered with the SEC. But
only $52l, SOC. 900 Of this represented
new funds.
Bank loans have increased very
little. In June, 1895, the last date
for which we have complete fig
ures for comparison, loans were
$40, 272, 100000. In June of this year
they were $2O,879, 900. 900. That Is
an increage OF about $500, 1000, 900
q mere drop in the bucket.
On the other hand government
expenditures have gone forward
at q tremendous rate at least
FOUR BILLION DOLLARS In
emergency and recovery and bonus
payments for the year.

THE POPPIEs OF SAN GABRIEL

The poppics with their golden buds
Have come again TO burn
Their way into the landscapes heart
Al every roadside turn.
Soft petals glowing by the path
Are Bteeped IN sunset fame
AZ star ON star peeps forth 10 shine
Through natures window-pane
And high upon the mountain-top
I see Aladdin'a toy,
With magic colorg hanging high
To bring the Springtime Joy.
Like yellow beacons dazzling bright
They stand with wandH Of gold:
And gather round the caasia trees
With elves and goblins bold.
o poppylandi your children Ewcet
Are ftimbling into bed.
While friendly ghosts are guarding them
Untii their prayers are said

station has gone on from wheat to
potatoes and other food crops and to
the feed crops-corn, oats, pastures,
and ranges. Thousands of acres of
new seeding have been killed, the
effect of which will not be apparent
until next year. Once more we see
the long-drawn effect of drought
working itself out through the ami
NAL industries. There is not going
to be any acute shortage of food
stuffs. Where the farmers and ulti-
mately the whole community are go
ing to feel the pinch is in the re-
duced supply of pork. beef, chicken,
and dairy products. And not SO
much this season as next. There is
a better supply of hay and roughage
than in 1894. But grain is short.
The increase that has been going for
ward in hogs will be checked and
possibly reversed. 1t probably means
fewer pigs in 1887 than this year.
The cattle industry will be hit much
the same way-an increasing tend
ency reversed and presumably fewer
cattle on farms a year hence. The
deceptive thing about such liquida-
meat than usual will come to market
but that vast reservoir of animals
representing crops of two or three
years stored on the hog is being de-
pleted. Aside from this livestock
aftermath, the immediate effects of
the drought are most striking in the
short wheat crop, short potato crop,
reduced supplies and higher prices of
milk, butter, fresh vegetables, and
fruits. Only the far West has large
ly escaped the devastation. 1t, for
tunately, had good crops and a good
farmers of the prairies are tightening
their belts to get through to next
spring as best they can. And farm
ers throughout much of the territory
from the Rockies to the Atlantic
must make such shift and retrench-
ment as will meet the added costs of
production and carry their crop and
animal units along to better sea-
son. The wages Of farm hired help,
averaging the country as a whole,
have gone up 20 per cent in two
years, although that is approximate
ly in line with the percentage in
crease in gross farm income.
