Three large shipments Of italian La
borers with their families are now en-
lroute to the delta and will be used to
help in gathering the cotton crop Of
this year as we'll as making one next
year. Reports from those who are us

raising Of cotton. It is to be hoped
that they can. and will make cotton
and corn successfully.
