Red Tafia Eliminated
In Hiring Mexican
Cotton Workers
If Texas cotton cannot be har-
vested by local lat*or this year
and farmers are forced to con-
tract for Mexican Nationals to
aet the job done, they will find
a considerable amount of red
tape snipped from old proce-
dures, the Texas Employment
Commission announced today.
Effective July 1, the procedure
which originally took from five to
six weeka to obtain Mexican Na-
tionals, will be shortened to the
extent that farmers will be able
to get these workers in a week
or ten days, TEC said.
Not only has much red tape
I been eliminated, but the farmer’s
I cost ha* been reduced—from $15
per worker to $11 on the original
j contracts and from $7.50 to *5.50
for recontracting, the agency
pointed out.
Under the old contracting pro-
| cedure, farmers submitted or-
ders all the way from 30 to 60
! days in advance of actual need.
This procedure worked a hardship
on the farmer because informa-
tion given today possibly would
not be valid 30 or 60 days hence
because of weather, crop con-
ditions or some other reason. On
top of all this, the order for
Mexican Nationals had to be re-
viewed and approved by the
Washington office of the Bu-
reau of Employment Security.
This plan has been junked for
one more workable. Now, the far-
mer needing workers goes to an
office of the Texas Employment
Commission and places an order.
If TEC determines that local or
migratory workers are not avail-
able to do the job at the time
and place specified by the farm-
er, then the local office will pre-
pare an “Authorisation to Con-
tract Mexican National Agricul-
tural Workers." The farmer will
then select one of three Recep-
tion Centers—El Paso, Eagle
Pass, or Harlingen—where he in-
tends to pick up his workers,
and the local office of the TEC
then mails the authorization to
that point. The farmer then must
send his check ($11 per work-
er) to that Reception Center. As
soon as the check is received by
the Reception Center, machinery
is set in motion to get the work-
ers from the interior of Mexico.
The farmer is notified by the
Reception Center when the work-
ers are available, TEC said. The
farmer must also submit a “State-
ment of Housing Facilities,”
which describes the housing and
living facilities offered. These
must meet minimum standards
for the number of workers he
needs.
A farm employer who used
Mexican Nationals in 1952 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 then he used
in 1952, a new statement of hous-
ing and facilities will have to
be furnished, TEC said.
Mr. Wofford
tells his experience with dieldrin:
"During the 1952 season my company sprayed over 60.000
acres of cotton with dieldrin. I’ve used a lot of insecticides
through the years but nothing kills cotton insects like
dieldrin. Dieldrin reduced a 98% infestation to zero after
three applications in accordance with the State of I exas
Late-season control program.
"Over the years I have applied approximately 3,000
cotton research experiments, a great many of which have
been in conjunction with the Texas Experiment Station at
Weslaco. Dieldrin is 50% more effective on weevil than any
product on the market today, and believe me, I’ve tried
them ail."
Dieldrin is the on/y officially recommended organic con-
trol for boll weevil in the lower Rio Grande Valley after
weevil migration. That’s because dieldrin lasts many days
;. . keeps on killing in hot, dry, windy weather.
For bollworm use a dleldrln-DDT mix. Dieldrin-DDT gives
better bollworm control than any single cotton poison
commercially available.
Order dieldrin or dleldrln-DDT from your insecticide dealer.

House Group Hears
Texans Tell Of
Drouth Problems
Washington.—Texans gave the
House Agricultural Committee
their views Thursday on what
measures should be taken to save
stockmen from ruin in drouth-
stricken areas of the Lone Star
State.
President Eisenhower also was
expected to act on a request from
j Governor Shivers to declare the
drouth sections a disaster area,
thus^ope/vlng the way for aid
under th« president’s emergency
fund.,
In otffb' developments on Wed-
nesday:! {
The president notified Governor
Shivers that the request for em-
ergency federal aid for the drouth
disaster victims is being Studied.
Rep. Walter Rogers of Pampa
introduced a bill in the House
which would authorize the Far-
j mers Home Administration to
j make loans to drouth-stricken far-
; mers, who in turn would pay off
their credit obligations to bank-.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben-
son announced he will tour the
Texas drouth areas and meet
with cattlemen in San Antonio
I after a similar meeting Saturday
I in Lubbock, where he also will
i address the American Cotton Con-
i gress.
Rep. W. R. Poage of Waco and
other Texans have proposed that
the Commodity Credit Corpora-
tion be authorized to sell cot-
tonseed meal at below-market
prices, with the difference being
made up from the president’s
emergency fund.
The Waco lawmaker also has
said he is drawing up a bill un-
der which the government would
guarantee loans made by banks.
Roger’s bill extends the author-
ity of the Agriculture Depart-
ment to make loans under an ex-
isting law which authorizes loans
to areas “of production disas-
ter” where private capital is not
available.
