Texas Can Handle
Cotton Crop With
No Outside Help
AUSTIN, Tex., June 28, (UPi
Texas Employment Commis-
sion officials expressed confi-
dence today that the state's cot-
ton crop can be picked without
the use of Mexican Nationals.
Since the Mexican govern-
ment has placed Texas on the
blacklist and will not allow Tex
as to contract for migratory
farm workers, the TEC said the
cotton crop will require a high
ly-geared program for maxi-
mum use of available labor in
the state.
Henry Leblanc, chief of
farm placement, tokl Texas' 15
farm labor consultants in a let-
ter that the harvest will re-
quire efficient routing and di-
recting of available workers.
He said the TEC had "heard
rumot;s of apprehension" by
some farmers that they won't
have enough cotton pickers,
but added:
"We are going to do our dead
level best to see that no Texas
farmer suffers a loss because
of insufficient labor to harvest
his crop," said Leblanc.
"We plan to do everything
within our power, and use
every bit of knowledge gained
through the operation of an
employment service for the past
10 years to see that the cotton
crop in Texas is harvested with-
out loss to our farmers," he
saitl.
Leblanc said the TEC's pro-
gram tor routing and re-rout-
ing migratory workers includes
establishing directional stations
at highway intersections.
The commission, he added, also
will staff labor supply camps
and labor reception centers.
Leblanc said the commission
has "every reason to believe"
that farmers in Texas will co-
operate in the program for har-
vest of the Texas cotton crop.

tory repeated itself when Mr.

and Mrs. Robert Schneider be-
came the parents of a daughter
at the same time at Schneck
Memorial Hospital. Five years

ters at the same time and place.
