OF Alabama are now confronted with
very serious conditions as to how the

cotton pickers, who are needed badly
In harvesting the crop.
According TO officials OF the state de-
partment agriculture, the most alarm

South Alabama. tho principal cotton

boys ms well. who have been lured to
the cities, will mean that the cotton

state, where negroes have been used
almost entirely for picking.
II IL stimated by agricultural experts
that tho cost OF harvesting the crop

previous year. the cotton pickers re-
ceiving approximately 800 per cent. over
the price OF three or four years ago
and probably 10 per cent. over that OF
last year. Three years ago the staple
was gathered at n cost OF about 80 cents
