purpose OF encouraging expectation
and domestic consumption of agri-
cultural commodities by section 80 of
the act Of August "a, 1885, amending
the agricultural adjustment act. 1t
should be apparent that this appro-
priation has added a burden of ex-
pendltures to the budget without any
provision for additional revenues to
meet it,
Expansion of Activities.
There is. of course, included in the
tax base an amount for the normal
operating activities of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture prior to the
emergency, which amounted to about
$4,000, 900 a year, and are separate
from the agriculture program adopted
within the past four years. These op-
Grating activities. however, have been
greatly expanded within recent years
without any increase in the revenues
to meet the expenditures caused by
such expansion. For example, the Soil
Conservation Service was added two
years ago and now expends more than
S25,0OO,O 600 year to control soil
erosion; and the Farm Tenancy Act
authorizes an appropriation of s2O,-
100000 for the current fiscal year
$45,000,000 for the next fiscal year
and $4,000 1000 annually thereafter.
1t is obvious that a constant in
crease of expenditures without ar
equally constant increase in revenues
can only result in a continuation OF
deficits
Urges $500, ,Oo0. 900 Limit.
We cannot hope to continue on q
sound basis of financial manage
ment of Government affairs unless
the regular expenditures are brought
within the revenues. I feel that
every effort should be made to keep
the new farm program within the
present limit of s500,00O,0 900 per an
mum. II this is not possible I then
urge that steps be taken to provide
the necessary increase in revenue to
meet any expenditures under the
new farm program in excess of this
sum.
Sincerely yours,

SHELL PLANTING
AIDS OYSTERMEN
FederaI-State Project in
Pocomoke Sound Yields
Big Dividends.
By the Associated Press. .

CRISF1ELD. Md. Nov. 27.-A little
gold mine" Of oysters. described as
an outgrowth of Federal-State shell
planting programs in 1884, has paid
dividends Of better than 100 per cent
to lower Eastern Shore oyster tongers.
City Councilman Egbert L. Quinn,
prominent Crisfleld business man,
called attention to the mine" when
Crisfield tongers brought in reports OF
fine catches in the terrapin lead bar
in Pocomoke Sound.
Quinn recalled that, in 1894. 10000
bushels Of oyster shells were planted
in the terrapin lead, under the super
vision of Somerset County practical
oystermen.
Make 500 in Two Days.
Already from 5000 to 5000 bushels
of fine oysters have been caught and
marketed at an average price Of so
cents per bushel," Quinn said.
The shells cost approximately 81, 900,
he added, and the tongers' catch from
the terrapin lead 50 far has sold for
between $500 and $4,000.
Some tongers received as much as
500 for two days work on these oys-
ters," Quinn said, land several sold
their catch for that much or more in
single week. At one time 80 boats
were at work"
No Mussels Found.
Quinn asserted no one could predict
accurately how many oysters will be
taken from the bar this year and in
future years. but he quoted watermen
as saying more than a bushel of
oysters would be caught for each
bushel Of shells planted
Best Of all, Quinn contended was
the fact no musseS have been found
on the terrapin lead catches On the
Chesapeake Bay oyster bars, mussels
have appeared in unusual numbers
this season, and caused considerable
damage to the bivalves.
Since 1884, other shell-planting
projects have been completed jointly
by the State and Federal Governments.
These projects, Quinn predicted. will
begin to show good results next year.

Text of Roosevelt Letter
President Discusses Financial ASPECTS of Farm
Plan, Urges Effort to Keep Within
Present Limit.

The text of President Roosevelt S
letter to Senator Barkley today on
financial aspects of the new farm pro-
gram follows:
My Dear Senator:
In the discussion of the proposed
farm bill now pending before the SEN
ate, notice by the record that you
asked the following question of Sen
ator Smith:
1t has been generally asserted
that the amount available under the
Soil Conservation Act was $5OO,O0O 900,
subject to a possible contingent addi-
tional sum of Sl25,O0OO00, making
$625 100000. Is that practically an
accurate statement of the present
financial situation?">
Senator Smith replied that your
statement of the financial situation
is correct.
Provisions for Revenue.
In this connection I should like
to call your attention to the fact
that while the amount of S625, ,OOO.-

cultural programs not all of this sum
has been provided for in the present
tax structure.
You will recall that in my message
of March 3, 1886, recommended ad-
ditional permanent taxes of $500, ,O0O,-
900. of which $500 100000 represented
substitution for processing taxes lost
as a result of the Supreme Court
decision Gnvalidating the agricultural
adjustment acD and Sl20.0000 900 was
to provide funds for the payment of
the veterans adjusted service bonds.
This recommendation resulted in the
enactment of the revenue act of 1886,
which provided the additional revenue
requested. The S500,00O, 900 thus pro-
vided for agricultural programs is the
only amount now in the tax structure
for these purposes.
l assume that the contingent addi-
tional sum of s125,oO0, 900 referred to
by you is the permanent indefinite
appropriation of an amount equal to

KEEP WAGES UP,
A. F. |. WARNING
Slump May Become Acute

Employers Told,
Sy the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
The current business decline might
assume dangerous proportions, the
American Federation of Labor warned
employers today, unless industry is
willing to maintain buying power
close to its present levels"
The Federation contended in its
monthly survey of business that lay
offs and wage cuts at this time would
be false economy. 1t added:
The volume of wage and salary pay
ments will be of more influence than
any other factor in maintaining the
market for consumers goods"
The A. F. of L. suggested that en-
ployers negotiate with unions and in
return union members should help,
wherever satisfactory collective
bargaining relationship exists, by CO.
operating to cut costs by improving
efficiency"
Raises Where Possible.
Other recommendations were to
raise wages where possible; defer no
plans to expand plants or buy new
equipment. encourage building of all
types and for the Government to make
credit available for business to finance
job-creating programs.
The general survey added
In the next six months we need
expect little change in the total
amounts paid out for dividends. in
terest and rent Profits to business
men may decline temporarily, but
this years increase in farmers in
come will help to compensate, for
the farmers will spend their 1897 in
come in the months just ahead"
At another point the survey stated:
The present decline appears to be
temporary check in our progress
toward larger production volumes and
higher standards of living. while busi-
ness waits for accumulated supplies
to be bought off.
Whether it will be of long duration
depends to very important degree
on our ability to maintain buying
power close to its present levels. so

hold supplies may be quickly con-
sumed and strong market provided
for durable consumer goods such as
homes and automobiles.
Serious Danger.
Serious danger lies in the posi-
billty that workers buying power may
be reduced while industrial produc-
ton is checked during the waiting
period Measures to prevent this can
be taken both by Government and
private industry"
The Federation attributed the pres
ent slump to an oversupply of con-
sumers' goods, such as clothing.
radios, furniture and automobiles.
When wages were increasing and
soldiers bonus money being spent
in the summer Of 1886, the survey said,
dealers sold out their stocks and
rushed to place orders for more, fear
ing price increase
This rush, the survey said, was re-
sponslble for price increases that led
dealers to order even more stocks in
an effort to beat further rises in
prices.
