AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 20.—Gen. J„
Watt Page, state selective service dir-
ector, Friday advised the national dir-
ector in Washington that total regis-
tration in Texas on February 16 wa»
426,434.
Based on the 1940 and 1941 select-
ive service registrations, which in
Texas totaled more than 860,000, it
had been anticipated that Monday’s,
enrollment would reach the 600,000,
mark. The difference can well be ac-
counted for, General Page explained,,
by the fact that since the President’s
proclamation soon after Pearl Harbor,
designating February 16 as the third
registration day many thousands of
young Texans have not waited for the,
selective service processes but have-
volunteered in one of the branches of
the nation’s armed forces.
Harris county, where 42,570 men
were registered, topped the state, white
Dallas county came in second with 31,-
459 men signed up, it was officially-
reported at state headquarters.

Japanese Moving From
Vegetable Production
Much of the vegetable producing
land in California has been operated
by Japanese. The Japs have been the
-operators with Filipino workers doing
much of the manual work. With the
Jap attack on the Philippine Islands,
the Filipino worker has absolutely re-
fused to work for the Jap. Then, too,
jjS*,, J«P8 are being moved from the
coast by the army and FBI. Some
people are of the opinion that the
moving of the Japs from the farms
will cause shortage in vegetable pro-
duction, but the white farmers of
California say no land will go un-
cultivated due to the above condition.

A great many more returns will be
filed this year than in previous years,

number qf deputies to answer any and
all questions tax payers might care
to ask.
It is requested, however, that all
who need help make arrangements to

in order to prevent congestion on the
day of March 16, the last day for

his deputies are willing to do every-

after which they returned to live in
