FARMERS URGED TO EMPLOY ALL
SOUTH TEXAS LABOR POSSIBLE

Of seeing to il that all Of these la
borers be given employment as soon
as they arrive and that they be kept
employed 80 long as they remain.
They should. Of course, be accorded
the same fair treatment and cOnsid-
Grafton which this class of labor has
always received in this section Of
Texas. We should bear in mind that
we shall need much larger supply
Of labor q few weeks hence when cot

still larger number at cotton picking

We believe it is the duty Of each
farmer and land owner t0 DO his part
by giving immediate employment to
such number Of laborers a. he can
use IN order that we may fortify our
selves against the time which will
shortly be upon us. when we shall
need all Of the labor wc can get. We
can not gct along without labor and
we have no other possible source Of
supply.
We therefore urge the cooperation
