"Statement of llousuij- and fa-
cilities," which describes the
housing and living facilities of-
fered. These must mevt mini-
mum standards for the number
of workers he needs
A farm employer who used
Mexican Nationals in lS).ri2 will
not be required to furnish such
Statement this year, provided
he does not request more
workers than he had in 1952. If
he does need more workers than
he used in 1952, a new State-
ment of Housing and Facilities
will have to be furnished, TEC
said.
As under the old procedures,
workers are contracted to indi-
vidual farm employers and as-
sociations on the basis of indi-
vidual need, however, under the
new system, allocations "are
made on the basis of a total ag-
ricultural area need. The 3tate
has been divided into six Agri-
cultural Areas set up on the
basis of similarity of crops
grown, climatic conditions, type
of soil, the traditional move-
ment of farm labor, and certain
other factors. The areas are
High Rolling Plain of the
Texas Panhandle; B!ack Prai-

Plains; Lower Rio Grande Val-

areas.

ber of wo; k-. r.: locally avail-
able, and migrant workers who
normally flow into the area, it
is found thai no shortage ex-
ists, Mexican Nationals cannot
be contracted in that area.
If a shortage results after
taking the above facts into con-
sideration, a ceiling or quota of
Mexican Nationals will be al-
located to the area sufficient
to offset the shortage. When-
ever crop conditions or other
factors in an area create a
change of 10 per cent or more
in supply or demand, the ceil-
ing for Mexican Nationals may
be reviewed and revised, if
necessary.
Farmers desiring additional
information concerning the con-
tracting of Mexican Nationals

Instructions Given for
Obtaining Farm|Labor
AUSTIN, June 30.—If Texas
cotton cannot be harvested by
local labor this year and
farmers are forced to contract
for Mexican Nationals to get
Lhe job done, they will lind a
considerable amount of red
taoe snipped from old proced-
ures, the Texas Employment
Commission announced today.
Effective July 1, the proced-
ure, which originally took from
five to six weeks to obtain
Mexican Nationals, w ill be
shortened to the extent that
farmers will be able to get these
workers in a week or 10 days,
TEC said.
Not only has much red tape
been eliminated, but the far
mer's cost has been reduced—
from $15 per worker to $11 on
the original contracts, and from
$7.5.0. to $5.50 for recontracting.
the agency pointed out.
Under the old contracting
procedure. farmers submitted
orders all the way from 30 to
00 days in advance of actual
need. This procedure worked a
hardship on the farmer because
information given today pos-
sibly would not be valid 30 or
60 days hence because of
weather, crop conditions or
some other reasons. On top of
all this, the order for Mexican
Nationals had to be reviewed
and approved by the Washing-
ton office of the Bureau of Em-
ployment Security. This delay
was cumbersome and irritating
to the farmer. This plan has
been junked for one more
workable. Now, the farmer
needing workers goes to an of
fice of the Texas Employment
Commission and places an ol-
der. If TEC determine.-! that
local or migratory workers are
not available to do the job at
the time and place specified by
the farmer, then the local of-
fice will prepare an "Authori-
zation to Contract Mexican Na-
tional Agricultural Workers".
The farmer will then select
one of three reception centers—
El Paso, Eagle Pass or Harlin-
gon—where he intends to pick
up his workers, and the local
office of the TEC then mails
the authorization to that point.
The farmer must send his
check ($11 per worker) to that
reception center. As soon as
the check is received by the re-
ception center, machinery is set
in motion to get the workers

Our Terrible Thirst
If your town doesn't have to worry about its water supply,
you're lucky. A lot of towns do.
Trouble is, some communities never dreamed that they
might double and triple in size, that new industries wouid
come to town, that citizens would use more water than ever-
before. We've reached the point where we use about 1100
gallons per person a day in the United States.
Yet why should water be short when 2"> times our needs
falls from I lie skies every year?
Unhappily, it doesn't always fall wlun and where we
need it most. Many reservoirs were built with no idea that
towns would grow so fast. And 75r> of our communities
rely on water from lakes and streams. Today manv of these
are polluted and require treatment before use.
When faced with a shortage, cities suddenly discover to
their sorrow that new water sources take time to complete.
For yearn General Electric has contributed toward de-
velopment of better and more efficient water-works equip-
ment. This is not so unusual, since motors and other electric
equipment are important in water systems, large or small.
Some of the things we've learned about water supply, and
the related problem of water pollution, have been put to-
gether in motion pictures and booklets, prepared in coopera-
tion with the U. S. Public Health Service. Any town fathers
who are interested in what's available can write to General
Electric, Room 123-2, Schenectady 5, N. Y.
