GENERAL CRoPsUMMARY.

GEN EtSAL ONAN1aN1
Crop conditions for the week ending
October 1, are covered in reports re-
ceived by the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, from its
field statisticians in the different
States.
CORN. The corn crop in most of
the country is fully matured and har-
vesting has made good progress.
Good yields of high quality are re-
ported in most sections. Husking has
commenced and will soon become
general; cribbing has already begun
in some sections. Danger of damage
from frost is now nearly negligible.
Some damage from ear worms and
also from molding in the shock, due
to rain, is reported in Illinois, In
diana and Iowa. The yield of the late
crop in the southeastern section is
being cut somewhat by drought and
the grain is not filling satisfactorily.
WHEAT. The seeding of the winter
wheat crop has continued to make
rapid progress and is nearing COM
pletion in the more northern sections.
Early sown fields are up to a good
stand and vigorous growth is report
ed throughout the Northern and Cen
The daily times., 1921-10-11

The third cutting of alfalfa is
about completed in Utah and Idaho,
and good yields reported. Some good
crops Of soy beans and cowpeas for
hay are being harvested in the South
ern States. New seedlings of clover
are making good growth in the Nor
thern and Central States. Pastures
are furnishing considerable feed al
though rain is badly needed in some
sections especially in the Eastern and
Southern States. Ranges in the West
ern States are generally very good.
The daily times., 1921-10-11

trail States. Flowing in Texas is facil-
itated by recent rain. Rain is needed
in some sections of Utah, Idaho and
Washington.
Thrashing of spring wheat has
been delayed somewhat by rains in
North Dakota and grain still in shock
Is being damaged by sprouting.
Thrashing reports from Utah show
very good yields.
COTTON. The cotton crop is ma
turing unusually early and picking
is well advanced. Very little crop is
reported and picking will be COM
pleted earlier than usual. Much of
the crop has already been ginned. A
low yield is generally reported due
to the unfavorab1e growing season
and severe weevil damage.
POTATOES. The digging of the
late crop of Irish potatoes is making
good progress throughout the north
ern and central tier of States. Some
good yields are reported especially in
the Western States, but yields else
where generally are poor, though of
good quality. Some vines are still
green and some improvement of late
fields is noted due to recent favorable
weather conditions. One of the best
crops on record is reported in Aroo-

stock County, Me-; some damage
from white grubs is reported in Wis
consin.
The outlook for sweet potatoes,
(which in general has been very favor
able, is showing some depreciation
recently due to the long continued
drought.
FRUIT. The picking of winter var
ieties Of apples is in progress in most
sections. Good yields are reported in
the far Western States, but the yield
is generally poor elsewhere. A late
infestation of codling moths has
made many wormy apples in Michi-
gan. Prunes are nearly all marketed
in Idaho, and about 1000 cars have
been shipped. Shipments of grapes
from California exceeded 400 cars
per day during the past week. The
condition of oranges and grapefruit
is deteriorating in Florida due to
drought.
{ LIVE STOCK, HAY AND PAS
TURES. ALI of live stock are general
ly in good condition. Dairy herds are
being considerably reduced in the
northern and northeastern counties
of New York due to the hay short
age. Some hog cholera is reported in
Indiana, Illinois, and Kansas.

MAY LOSE SCHOOL
Movement Started to Secure Proper
Quarters

Selma, December 6.-(Special.)-
Lack of dormitory space large enough
to accommodate pupils at Dlnkins
Training school and the inability of
S. NJ. Dinkins, head of the school. to
procure larger quarters was said last
night at meeting of the board of
directors of the chamber of commerce
to endanger the schools remaining
in Selma, and the chamber was asked
by Judge w. NJ. Vaughan to give as
sistance in securing proper quarters.
Judge Vaughan spoke at length
on the Dinkins school, which he de-
elared to be a real asset to the city.
The school has rapidly outgrown it's
present quarters on Dallas avenue,
and it is understood that offers from
other cities to Colonel Dinkins are
being made. Colonel Dinkins has no
idea of moving, the school if suitable
quarters can be secured here, and in
order that every assistance in the
matter be given him, the directors
of the chamber last night appointed
Judge Vaughan, Albert Kahn and
Lloyd Hooper to confer with him and
attempt to perfect arrangements for
keeping the school in Selma.

GOMPERS DOES NOT
FAVOR INDUSTRIAL
PLAN OF HARDING
Says 1t Would Be Reversion
to Conditions of More
Than Four Hundred
Years AGO

Washington. December 6.-Presf-
dent Harding's suggestion, made in
his message to Congress today, for a
court TO decide wages and conditions
of employment was declared to be a
: "reversion to conditions obtaining
more than 400 years ago in state
ment issued tonight by samNl Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor.
The Presidents message is IN
most respects an admirable docu-
ment," the statement said, but he,
like altogether too many men, fails
in his understanding of the relations
between workers and employers, of
the aspirations which are in the
hearts and minds of the great mass
of our people.
Indeed the Presidents proposal
for the establishment of a court with
legal powers to decide as to wages
and conditions of employment is
nothing more nor less than a reYer-
sion back to the conditions obtaining
more than 400 years ago, when the
court of quarter sissions determined
the wages of workers and prohibited
them from asking for more or en-
ployer from paying more than the
courts decision and to condemn men
to compulsory servitude and slavery
If they resented in any way the de-
cisions of those courts.
at is quite evident that President
Harding has in mind the establish
ment of court to determine the con-
ditions and wages of the working
people and evidently with the aim
that these courts will prevent strikes
and lockouts. Surely the experience
of such courts in the Australasian
countries, surely the experience with
such court in the state of Kansas.
should have a lesson for US. In New
Zealand and in other Australasian
countries they have gone through
the experience of more than 20 years
and their utter failure has not only
been recognized there, but they have
been abandoned. In the state of Kan
sas, where such a court has been in
existence for the past two years,
there are today more strikes than
at any time In the history of Kansas.
THE analogy which the President
makes as between the international
affairs and industrial disputes is far
fetched and unwarranted by facts. 1t
is the voluntary agreement, the col
lective bargaining, the organization
of the workers and the organization
OF employers to reach voluntary
agreements so that strikes, lockouts
and boycotts, ETC., may be avoided.
which must solve our Industrial dis
putes."

MONTGOMERY INTERESTED
Hear Report. of Identification of
Slain Man as Dickerson

Montgomery, December 6.-tSpe-
al.)--Great interest was manifested
in Montgomery today through the
report from Birmingham that the
body of Hugh Queens who was killed
at TYussville by Special Agent w.
B. Ratteree of the Southern railway,
had been Identified as Roy Dick
erson. Montgomery boy, who was
charged with furnishing the brains
and the leadership Tor the robbery of
the Phoenix Girard bank at Girard
two years ago.
Dickerson was recaptured after the
robbery at Los Angeles, but while
being held for Alabama officers es-
capped and had not been heard from
again. Many reports had been that
he made regular visits to Alabama in
the hope of seeing his wife, who is
serving prison term at Spelgner
for completely in the Girard robbery.
Officers have sought a trail Of
Dickerson since he disappeared from
the Los Angeles Jail One report
shree weeks ago was that he was
ser arrest in Manitoba, Canada.
riff j. S. Ragland of Russell
nty made inquiry, but there was
further report that the man who
been arrested in Manitoba for
berry was the man wanted in Ala.
la.
ontgomery men who knew Dick
FIN believed he would attempt,
ser or later, to return to the city.
#sterson has always had a reputa-
/ of being bold. bad man. His
fe has had a petition for parole
fore the board of pardons for many
snths, but no decision has been
ldered.

DEATH LIST FROM
TRAIN WRECK T
investigation Begun Before
Interstate Commerce
Commission
BY Associated Press

Philadelphia, December 6.-The
death list as a result of the collision
of Reading railroad passenger trains
at Bryn Athyi yesterday apparently
stood at 81 tonight.
Thirteen of the victims have been
positively identified and ID others,
known to have been on one or the
other of the trains are still missing
and are believed to have been killed
Nine bodies and several fragments of
bodies remaining at a morgue were
so terribly burned that Identification
virtually was impossible. Several of
injured were still in a critical
,dition.
Railroad officials and others said
exact toll of the wreck probably
yer would be established. The
stimates arrived at were determined
IT by checking the recovered bodies
against the list of missing.
Investigation to determine respon-
siblity for the wreck was begun to-
day by officials af the company, rep
resentatives of the interstate COM
merce commission and the state pub
lie service commission, meeting joint
ly. Except to say that the inves-
tigation would be continued tomor-
row at the scene of the accident no
statement was issued when the meet
ing adjourned. Members of the train
crews were among those missing.
Prior to the conference, c. II. Ew-
ing. president of the Reading, issued
a statement placing responsibility for
the collision on the crew of the north
bound train.
Gross violation of definite orders
and an ignored block signal, was the
cause" he said. The statement said
both trains were given an order to
meet at Bryn Athyn and that the
northbound train ignored the order
and proceeded without waiting for
the southbound train.
