B. A. BRADLEY
TALKS ON CROPS
Says Recent Weather
Caused Loss to Cotton
Growers

That the cotton outlook in the cas-
tern section of Sumter county has
suffered somewhat Of Il slump during
the last few days, with heavy she'd
ding of leaves and fruit, is the state
ment of B. A. Rra1iev. a farmer of
that section. who was in Americas
yesterday. Said Nh. Bradley.
Recently l have been riding
through large part of the eastern
portion of Sumter county, and / have
examined the crops in that section
closely, especially since reading the
interview with Judge James A. Hixon,
printed in The Times-Recorder. Judge
Hixon must have gone down the
wrong roads.
"a man can't judge a cotton crop
by the weed; it takes bolts to make
lint cotton and while most of the
cotton fields Of Sumter counsy have
a good weed, the bolls are not so nu-
merous as to indicate bumper crop.
Another thing Judge Hixon must
have overlooked, is that a man can't
judge a crop accurately by riding
along on the road at rate of from
20 to 80 miles an hour in a car. Some
of the farms look good along the pub
lie road, but in order to reach an &C
curate estimate of the cotton yield,
the back side of these farms should
be examined as well as long the roads.
Many of the farms have examined
this season have not such fine crops
on their back acres as they have on
the public roads.
'The cool winds and sun we have
had this week coupled with the plow-
ing the farmers gave their cotton has
damaged the crop materially, the crop
being almost ruined for the year in
many fields which have visited re-
Gently. have never seen cotton
"fire" and hurn and shed so bad in

Gently, and we can't hope to make
any more cotton this year, taking the
county as a whole than we did last
year. Had we enjoyed ideal weather
during the past ten days, we might
made normal crop, under weevil
conditions, but within the past three
days it has materially deteriorated. 4"

accept the provisions of the federal
training act recently approved, which
does not provide for the support of
the industrially disabled who are I'M
dergoing vocational training but pur-
poses to standardize, supervise and
encourage industrial rehabilitation in
the various states. The New York
law designates a state advisory COM
mittee for the rehabilitation of handi-
capped persons which will cooperate
with other state agencies concerned.
For immediate encouragement con-
gress has appropriated $3,750,000 to
be allotted to the states, covering a
period of the next four years, on con-
dition that the states meet this ap-
preparation dollar for dollar.
New York has done the character
istic thing in the anticipation of the
federal act, so that the simple ac-
ceptance by the governor of the state
will complete the formalities.

URGES CRIPPLES
Be RE-TRAINED
Rehabilitation of Men
Hurt In Industries
Great Possibility

NEW YORK, July 31-The les
sons learned by the United States
in its work of rehabilitation of soldier
and sailor veterans of the war, if ap-
piled to the problems of the indus
trial cripple would mean not only the
turn to independence of these inJur-
ed workers but an actual increase in
the wealth of the nation of $4,000
600 900 a year, according to Ralph
T. Fisher, district vocational officer
of the Federal Board of Vocational
Education in the New York district in
an address here before the New York
Rotary club.
I'm point of dollars" said Mr..
Fisher, "retraining the industrially
crippled men means an increased pro-
ductive value to the nation OF
amounts heretofore little understood.
] believe we are easily within con-
sentative estimates in saying that
any seriously disabled man who can
be vocationally rehabilitated VIII
have his earning capacity increased
by a total of at least $12, 800 for the
remaining period of his life and that
his increased productive value to the
nation will easily reach $4,000.
THE Federal Board for Vocation
al Education is just now gathering
data on the subject, but if, for i'm
mediate estimates, we assume that
not more than one-fifth of the per-
manently disabled require refrain
ing, we would have $4,000 men a
year to be trained. 1t is a simpler
matter of computation to see that
if each reatrained man return $780,
600 in the remainder of his life the
increment accruing to the wealth of
the nation would amount to two and
one-half billion dollars. This enor-
nous figure, it must be remembered,
is the estimated result of training
those persons crippled in industry in
one year"
Mr.. Fisher said it was estimated
by the board that four or five times
as many persons are disabled in in
dustry in one year as were disabled
in the American Expeditionary forces
during the period of the war. He
said that at least 100000 persons are
permanently disabled in the United
States each year through industrial
accidents.
The problem, said Mr. Fisher, will
always be largely a state problem.

BRITISHPAY$2
FOR FALL SUITS
Clothing Makers Coop
crate With Government
To Cut Prices
By MILTON BRoNNER.

LONDON, July 31-Some time
this fall when Americans are pay
ing fancy prices for ordinary "hand-
me-down" suits made of very doubt
full fabrics, Briton will be paying
$50 for. good ready-to-wear suits
made of all wool tweeds and with
practically government guarantee
back of them.
Here's the how and why of it
During the war the ordinary woods
were all used by the government in
making uniforms.
The only woods left free for civil
ian were the Merinos, the highest
grade and most expensive fabrics.
But people were making plenty of
money and the prices did not hinder
them.
Everybody's Spoiled"
Now they are spoiled and are in
sisting upon Merino cloth. But there
is always limited supply of this.
The result is the price goes kiting
up and prices of other cloths go up
in sympathy. So that even for or
binary suits the Englishman is pay
ing now far more than he ever
dreamed Of doing.
The Board of Trade which is
the the English version of our De-
partment of Commerce-felt that one
way out of the complaints about the
high cost of clothing was to educate
the people to go back to wearing
suits made out of the cross breeds
wool which wear splendidly but are
not as soft and pliable as Merinos
The great business organizations
agreed to cooperate.
Companies Agree.
The Wooden and Worsted Trades
Federation has agreed to supply $780,.
900 yards of standard cloth, mainly
in grays and browns, in time to be
made up into suits some time after
September.
The Wholesale Clothing Manufac
turing Association has agreed t.
make the cloth up into suits under
government inspection. They will il
turn offer them for sale to retailers
When the suits are ready, they viii
have the government guarantee bas
ed on detailed examination at every
stage of manufacture, that the cloth
makers, wholesale manufacturers anC
retailers are only receiving fail
profit for their work.

that state which are responsible for
those cripples. Consequently, the
funds for industrial rehabilitation
should come chiefly from sources of
state taxation, assuming that the state
will, in turn, derive taxes for that
purpose from the profits of those in
dustries which the responsible for the
accidents"
Mr.. Fisher praised the act of con-
gress in passing almost without re-
duction the ninety millions dollar ap-
preparation for the rehabilitation of
war veterns. This action, he said,
made it possible to prove beyond a
doubt the feasibility of rehabilitation
of cripples.
