DeWitt County’s agricultural
picture is “double-exposed” this
week: >
Cotton production Is turning
out ’’exceptionally good,” as
County Agent Gilbert Heideman
put it.
But the pastures are gone
burned to a crisp •-». because of
the prolonged drouth. And the
general condition of cattle is
growing worse.
Sunday marks the area’s 60th
day without rain, except for a
slight trace (.06 of an inch) re-
corded on Aug. 12. The last rain
of any consequence fell on July
3, two months ago.

The harvest has been delayed

like, will fall considerably short

acre production.

Otto Goedecke, owner, stated
in a printed message ^.employ-
ees this week, “The law requir-
es that we raise the minimum
to $1.25 «n hour, but the law
does not provide the money to
pay it” - -
Goedecke also stated that the
Cuero mill lost money in oper-
ating this past year and that
there is little prospect of doing
better until the Cooley Bill, or
a similar measure, is passed
“to put our domestic mills on
the same price basis as our for-
eign competitors, who have not
only cheaper cotton but much
lower wages.”
He added, “fit the meantime,
you, as workers in the mill, and
we in management are in trou-
ble. You should -have an equal
increase in wages and we
should have equal prices on
cotton with our foreign compe-
