V. W. Turner, flight service specialist Beetle Epidemic Plagues Southeastern Timherlands Timberland owners of the south east Texas area suffering from the epidemic of pine bark beetles have reported that 43,000,00 board feet of sawlogs and 25,000 cords of pulpwood had been killed during the past year. Of this total, 23,- 600.000 board feet of sawlogs and 23.000 cords of pulpwood were re ported as being salvaged. These estimates were made at a meeting of forest landowners at Cleveland recently. The purpose of the meeting of forest landown ers was to review the status of bark beetles activity and to discuss the urgency of continued control mea sures. Over 50 foresters and small industrial forest landowners were present. New Infestation Areas Victor Suneson, assistant dis trict forester for the Texas Forest Service, stated that many new All-Star Game (Continued from Page 3) L. W, Watson of McLean and Joe Boring of Sunset (Dallas), a cou ple of fine chunkers. Larry Graham of Lamar (Houston) is the top pass- catcher for the South. A crowd of 10,000 is expected at 8 p. m. Howard and Bryan agreed to use the same defense and Howard said that meant that each team would score just about every time it got the ball.

He re ported that minor outbreaks have been noted in northeast Harris County. Suneson also stated that control work done during the past winter by timberland owners had a definite effect in reducing the spread of the insect this year, but he pointed out that the bark beetles are still epidemic. George Stanley, chairman of the Forestry Committee of the Texas Lumber Manufacturers Associa tion, explained control measures and their effectiveness on lands of the Kirby Lumber Corpora tion. J. T. Coyne, entomologist for the U. S. Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, assigned to the beetle area appeared on the pro gram. He urged landowners to continue control efforts by the utilization of brood trees. A reduc tion of 70 per cent of the bettle population in areas where salvage work has been done has controlled epidemics elsewhere, he stated. Beetle Trouble Coyne also pointed out that some recent tree mortality is due to the black turpentine beetle, an insect that generally does little damage to pine. He urged landowners to keep a watchful eye on this insect, ex pected in increasing numbers by September and October. Severe damage to pine trees from this insect had been reported from other southern states. The meeting was called by the Forestry Committee of the Texas Lumber Manufacturers Association and the Texas Forest Service, a part of* the Texas A&M College System. Don Young, head, Forest Management Department of the Texas .Forest Service, acted as general chairman of the meeting. Keane Gets More Rest Harlingen, Tex., Aug. 3—CP)— More rain—still termed an “act of God” by official judges—delayed “Boll Weevil” Keane’s attempt to pick a bale of cotton in a week an other 12 hours yesterday. Brief, hard showers fell for the second day in a row. Yesterday’s showers drove Keane from the field. Judges ruled the interruption to be “an act of God,” for which they cannot hold Keane account able. He boasted that he can pick a bale of cotton in seven days. He expects to be back in the fields by noon tomorrow, barring further heavenly interruption. Keane took to the fields Monday and his three-day total is 635 pounds, some 815 pounds shy of his intended 1,450 pound bale. Exchange Store l ias foth!

Sign Migrant Labor (Bracero) Agreement Mexico City, Aug. 3—(A*)—Mexi co and the United States tonight signed a new migrant labor (bra cero) agreement which may start Mexican harvest hands flowing to U. S. fields within ten days. The agreement—reached after negotiators broke a deadlock of over a week—is still subject to ratification by both governments. One negotiator said the only thing which would prevent ratifi cation would be discovery of some legal flaw in the wording. Ratifi cation by an exchange of notes be tween the U. S. Embassy here and the Mexican Foreign Office is ex pected next week. Guarantee Payment The agreement provides that thd United States will guarantee pay ment of wages of Mexicans hired by U. S. farmers. Mexico- has said she will not renew the' agreement after six months unless the U. S. applies penalties to farmers using illegal migrants (wetbacks). The signing, after 18 days of negotiations, was held in the ball room of the foreign office. Consul General Carl Strom, head of the U. S. delegation, presided. In final speeches, both groups praised the understanding and cooperation of the others. The negotiations had been dead locked for nearly a week before the U. S. and Mexican delegates compromised on the question of es tablishment a migrant recruiting center in Guadalajara, Mexico. There was no dispute over the lo cation of other centers. Chosen In Guadalajara Under the compromise, workers will be chosen in Guadalajara, thus meeting Mexican demands. But in stead of being moved to the U. S. in special trains, they will go to Nogales any way they please. The worker who arrives in Nogales with his labor contract will be repaid the expenses of his trip. This important condition meets the U. S. objection that the over taxed Southern Pacific of Mexico Railroad cannot supply enough special trains to move all the work ers needed from the Guadalajara area. Leaving the question of transportation up to the worker himself means he can go by truck, automobile, by regular train or by catching a ride on freight trains. The U. S. will pay the worker only the cost of his transportation from Hermosillo, Mexico. The U. S. under this compromise did not obligate itself to take any certain number of workers from Guadala jara. Recruiting centers in Mexico will be established at Aguascallientes, Guadalajara, Irrapuato, Monterrey and Chihuahua. Hermosillo is not listed as a center, but the two governments by joint agreement may open other centers later. Reception centers in the U. S., where farmers may go to obtain laborers, will he in Brownsville, Laredo and El Paso, Texas; No gales, Arizona; and Calexico, Calif. Others may be opened later if both governments agree. The new agreement continues the Mexican blacklist—a list of areas where it will not send its workers because it finds discrimination against Mexicans. But the means of proving such discrimination have been changed to give the U. S. greater voice in deciding whether they shall be blacklisted. Must Not Discriminate If the U. S. does not agree about discrimination in an area “local government officers” shall sign a promise to end the practice and workers shall be sent. In the past, reports of Mexican consuls on the spot have been the basis for de termining discriminations. The agreement forbids the em ployment of illegal Mexican immi grants and provides that any farm er knowingly using them shall lose his legally contracted workers. He must also pay the legal worker three quarters of the salary he would normally have earned during his work contract. However, this penalty is not to be applied except “when such em ployer knows or has reasonable grounds to believe or suspect or by reasonable inquiry could have as certained” that his employes are illegally in the U. S. Worker Agreement Workers under the agreement may be used for ’’handling, drying, packing, processing, freezing, grad ing or storing” farm products, if the employer produced at least half the crop being processed. The U. S. must give 30 days no tice of how many workers it wants and where it wants them recruited in Mexico. Mexico must answer within 15 days, saying how many can be furnished from each area. The U. S. officials here estimated it would take at least 10 days to open the new recruiting stations. However, those now in operation in Monterrey and Chihuahua, working on applications for workers made under the old agreement, will con tinue to work, they said. Mexican workers must have com plied with Mexico’s conscription law but will not be liable to draft ing into the U. S. armed forces. Adequate Housing Workers may not be sent to areas where the U. S. Secretary of Labor finds that housing, sanitary facil ities-or drinking water are “inade quate.” Originally Mexico had asked that a decision on such mat- ters be left to her consuls. , Work contracts for Mexican, orers may be ordered ended U. S. labor authorities find is sufficient domestic labor avail able in the area. In this case thi^ employer must still pay his Mexi can employes three quarters of what they would have earned if they had worked the full term of the contract. Work contracts may be for from six weeks to six months. They may be renewed, but no Mexican worker may remain in the U. S. for more than a year. The worker is allow ed to choose the type of farm work. Wages must be those prevailing in the area, but must be sufficient to cover the worker’s “normal liv ing needs.” Prevailing wages will not be those which have been “ad- verseley affected by the employ ment of illegal workers in the area.” Mexico has charged that use of alien migrants, who cannot complain of low wages, has had the effect of depressing U. S. wage scales in some ai’eas. LOOK KIDDIES!!
