Farm Labor Axis Is
Shifting to South
The farm labor axis is shifting
to the south Texas cotton fields
as the grain harvest approaches
completion in the high plain region.
According to C. Hohn, state farm
labor supervisor for the A. and
M. College Extension Service, prog
ress of the harvest has relieved the
acute demand for farm labor in the
Panhandle although a need for
more combines and slow movement
of railroad cars to country eleva
tors were creating a bottleneck as
the peak neared.
Meanwhile, with cotton opening
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
and Gulf Coast areas, representa
tives of the state labor office and
the area WFA labor office held
a meeting at Alice, Jim Wells
County, with eight county agri
cultural agents and field assis
tants to discuss a program for
handling and directing migratory
labor during the picking season.
An estimated 25,000 laborers of
this class is expected to be avail
able in the region. Picking has
begun in Kleberg County and is
expected to start in neighboring
counties shortly.
Harvesting of a record grain
sorghum crop in several counties
in the Corpus Christi area is in
progress with San Patricio Coun
ty needing help. Broomcom pull
ing is underway in Bee, Medina
and Frio counties with outside
labor needed in the latter.
Cotton chopping and hoeing in
the majority of the counties com
prising the low rolling plains is
reported as progressing satisfac
torily. The most outstanding labor
shortage in the blacklands of the
central and northern part of the
state is in Kaufman, Collin and
Dallas counties. The tight spot in
the southern portion is in Cald
well and Travis counties where
cotton choppers and general farm
hands are needed. Tomato shipping
in east Texas is almost finished,
releasing some labor for farm
work.
Placement of city and town
youths on farms shows a steady
increase. According to the latest
reports to the state labor office,
a total of 9,100 have been placed,
Navarro County leading with 1,-
048 and McLennan and Falls next
in order with 652 and 350, re
spectively.
