ply Right Studies
Washington.?The present system
'of Federal vocational training contains
"decidedly too much theory"
and needs the injection of practical
methods, Director Forbes of the Vetpvnnc'
Uni'Ami " '*
miiu a#uiunu uut'uutau in ci report co
President Harding, made public today
and covering his recent countrywide
inspection of hospitalization and
vocational training facilities.
"In making public the report, Col.
Forbes characterized the system as
"unmistakably and absolutely wrong,"
and expressed doubt whether "very
many men have actually been rehabilitated
by the government and have
gone back to their respective communities
as wage earners and as assets."
"We have farmed men out undei
this system," the director added in
commenting on the report. "It is
nothing short of crime and slavery to
put men into some of the places they
have been put. 1 am opposed to the
sweat shop system and 1 do not propose
to let more of the former service
men be exploited by mushroom
houses t' at have sprung up merely
to exploit the soldier and get the government's
money."
Government hospitalization of former
service men was said by Col.
Forbes in hi-: report to be nearly
equal to tin needs, except in certain
localities, such as California, but ho
added that it would !>o necc s: ry to
continue expandin/ the program.
Hospitalization would continue to be
a problem and there coul i be no justification
on the part of the* government
for failure to push to completion the
permanent program.
Col.^Forbes reiterated to the President
the belief that a government vocational
university for former service
men and women would In a measure
solve the nrohlem. Paw nf the
beneficiaries of the system, he added,
got what they desire in the way of
training and the government loses
sight of them once they have been
"farmed out to somebody who thinks
only of the money he will make off of
them."
"Orders were given in Chicago," the
director said, "for the discontinuance
of training in certain schools and institutions
having contracts with the
government because they are not providing
the type of instruction which
the beneficiaries had a right to receive.
His survey there, he said, has
disclosed several instances where
those under training were being exploited.
Enlargement of the Helena, Mont.,
Health Service Hospital was urged.
Several buildings of wlvxt once was
Fort Harrison are available, the director
said, and he recommended that
they be released for use of the Veter
ans nureau. Hospital treatment at
Helena met the director's approval,
as did that at Spokane. At the latter
place Col. Forbes said, the patients
were receiving a high standard
of treatment.
Col. Forbes said he had found a
"very unsavory situation" in California
with respect to certain contracts
ur.der which mgn were being given
vocational training. Those contvacts, (
he added, would be abrogated as soon I
H possible, and additional faci'ities
obtained under the bureau.
The talcing over of the town of
C vde, Calif., as a training center was
recommended. It was built, he s/iid,
by the Shipping Bpaigd during the
"war and could be converted to the
proposed use at small expense. The
town consist*? of twelve modern bungalows
and a hotel, and, according to
the report, is so situated that it would
serve both vocational training and
hospitalization purposes.

REQUEST FOR
! PASTURAGE
Colleton County Farmers want
to Save Cattle
Waltorboro.?The r orul::r oieetirn
of the county highway commissioners
was hold last week. Those present
[ were Commissioners P. M. Buckner,
I 10. L. Lemacks, A. P. Barnes, H. R.
Hudson. Routine matters were attended
to and claims approved against
tho county.
An interesting matter came up for
decision on a petition, presented by a
number of citizens of the county in
the Rod Oak section, near tho Edi to
River, asking that they he permitted
to erect several gates across tho public
highways in that section of the
ounty, in order that a large pasture
might he made to take cave of a
great number of cattle in that section
of the county. The argument was
used by the petitioners that the county
will go under the operation of the
ucnerai ?tocK l aw on January 1 and
that it will be impossible to make way
with the great number of cattle without
sacrificing them. The markets
are low now and it was thought that
if permission could be gotten to make
temporary pasture in this way the
owners of the cattle could get better
prices for them.
This argument was met by the
board with the statement that it
would be illegal to permit gates to
be placed across public highways, or
so they were advised. Also that there
are many persons desiring* to present
similar petitions and if granted in
one case all would have to be granted.
This, it was contended, would not
?)0 feasible as many of the petitions
would come from sections where the
principal highways would be crossed
nd thus there would he many ob'ructions
f.o interfere with the free
o of the public highways. The
our I stilted that they retvictUV: the
ecessity for having to deny the rouest,

would be unwise to do at ti?e present

FOOD PRICES
ROSE AND FELL
After Other Wars in Which
Country Was Engaged
In the Past
THEY MAY mSE
BEFORE LONG
But This Does Not Mean That.
All Prices Will
Rise
The family man whose income did
not increase between 1014 and 1918
was in a bad way. Everything ho
needed .and all the things he and his
wife and children believed they ought
to have, to be happy, became so costly
that a new system of living had to
ho adopted. Millions, perhaps, changed
their diet by reducing animal foodsl
and meats of all kinds and increasing i
the use of grains and vegetables .and,!
incidentally a very large number have
not gone back to the old schedules.
Wholesale Prices Doubled.
Compared with the 5-year average
before the World War. wholesale
prices in 1018 had doubled, or were
represented by 200 as an index number
from which to figure. Many commodities
were higher and m.any were
lower than this figure would indicate.
However, any product that had not
doubled in price in those days was
relatively cheap, and anything that.
had more than doubled was relatively
high priced. Prices, it will be seen,
/ re high or low entirely by comparison.
The man who wrnt back into
history for his information and guidance
in preparing for what he might
reasonably expect to encounter in
1<)18 or 1010 learned thai the rise and
f: 11 of ps-ices in the period after the
World War bore a striking similarity

Tii each case the highest price level
was reached ifter the war closed, .and
in each ca e there was an extremcl;violent

)99, just issued by the United St&tes
Department of Agriculture as a contribution
from the Bureau of Market.*
and Crop Eseimatas, shows that iho
rise in prices during tho World War
wps much (he s.ime as during th?
Civil War period, hut continued longer
after the close of the war, and resulted
in a more violent drop than
occurred after either the War of IS 12
or the Civil War.
After each of the previous wars a
very violent drop in prices occurred,
followed bv reoverv in part and
somewhat stable prices for a year or
more. follo\Ved by ,a longer but less
violent drop, and again followed by a

bulletin referred to, bewail slowly, increased
in rapidity, then dropped |
more gradually, and by June, 1921,
had apparently completed its downward
course, at least that part which
might be described as violent. To
judge by Civil War days and by the
slow rate of recession now, some price
recovery is to be expected in the near
future. This does not mean that Jill
prices will rise. When more products
rise in price than fall, the general
price level will rise, but many products
will be going down. It is to be
expected that those that have dropped
excessively will rise, and that prices
of most things much above the general
price level will fall.
The bulletin gives many pr ges of
comparison of wholesale and faim
prices. A cheerful forecost is found
in this sentence: "Many farmers car;
not avoid failure, but courage and perseverance
will carry many other
through seemingly impossible conn!
tions and will do much to bring back
normal times."

Washington.?-The most disastrov
cotton growing season on record
shown by the Department of Agric-'l
lure's estimates, based <n the cun-'.i
tion of the crop on September l.1"
This was -12.2 per cent of a norma1
12.2 below the worst previous record.
"Over most of the belt," the department's
s'-itement says, "there
will be but little middle crop and
practically no top crop. The swarming:
plague of boll weevil has advanced
almost to the limits of 1he
belt, extending through the lower
third of North Carolina to eleven
counties of Tennessee, over most of
Arkansas, Oklahoma and practically
everywhere in such numbers and doing
such damage as has not been experienced
since the period of initial
invasion .
"Comment is general that the crop
may be picked out by early November
in much of the central and eastern
territory if favorable picking
weather continues. The fair and dry
September has permitted uninterrupted
picking, with labor plentiful and
relatively cheap. In some sections
picking is completed."
The present estimates place the
crop at 6,587,000, equivalent .">00
pound bales, a, reduction of 500.000
bales in the estimates of a month :>go.
This indicates a yield of 118 pounds
