(By The United Press,

Houston, Texas, Aug. IA Get ting off to a bad start, hampered by adverse weather conditions and swarms of ravenous insects, Old King Cotton has staged remark able comeback, and within q few more weeks, with plenty of warm dry weather, the crop will be as sured success, according to re- ports from all over the section
 Cotton fields show the effects of good cultivation, and are singularly frees from weeds and grass. Boil weGtils, which for a time threatened to sweep the entire state and destroy tie crop, have been checked, and it is estimated that in the long run production will not be cut down more than previous years due to this hindrance.
 Conditions show an improvement of 20 per cent over last month, cot ton men declare.
 The floods of month ago, in the Rio Grande Valley, where it was feared the entire crop would be washed away did but little damage. Growers say that the loss will be so small that it will not be felt, except locally.
 While it is bit early to ac curately estimate the years cotton yield, it is believed the states crop will reach 2,S00,000 mark. Some estimated place the yield at 3,500, 900 bales, with the provision of con- tinuancc of dry weather
 Facilities for handling the crop this year have been improved, it was announced. Federal and state fi- noncial institutions are backing the growers to the limit, it was de- claTed. an Tn, e.Ls .tat4g 44n t.,,

MAN CRIPPLED FOR B YEARS
 ABLE TO WALK

(I3y International News Service)
 New York, Aug. l5. Through q triumph of surgery, Frederick w.. Birge, fifty-three, farmer, of Mid dlebury, Vt., is expected by physi- clans of the Hospital for Ruptured and crippled to walk again for the first time in thirty-nine years.
 The date will be the, anniversary of his loss of the use of both legs through infantile paralysis.
 This is the earliest case of infan- tile paralysis on record in Vermont and is said to be the longest period of paralysis, terminating in recov- cry, ill the annals of surgery.
 Birge was fourteen when strick- en. His legs contracted into the po- sition of one sitting. Efforts to cure him were without result, and the case was given up as hopeless. His life itself was limited to the range of a wheel chair.
 Powerful Arms
 He did not collapse into helpless ness, however. Though his lower limbs were useless. his arms, by constant propelling of his chair and pulling himself up by anything he could grasp, developed almost the strength of gorilla.
 With his sister, he owns sixty acre farm in Vermont. producing poultry, dairy products, fruits and berries. Birge learned to pull him. self up hand over hand, into the seat of a wagon and thus managed his farm and sold his produce. It supports them both.
 Eight years ago there was an i'm fantile paralysis epidemic in Yer mont and when it subsided the State Board of Health established an after-care department. in charge of Miss Bertha E. Weisbrod, of Boston. One of the nurses visiting q hoy who lived near the Dirges
