interviewed, as no further evidence
of the labor shortage is required, other
than the above otgether with the
unanimous appeal of the bankers Oh
the valley to aid the ASSOCIATION ana
the ranchers who have joined the as
sociation, and the state and natlonai
authorities who tell us there is no
available supply of farm labor except
Mexico, with our state farm labor de-
mand of 10 per cent and only "a per
cent supply. and Imperial county sup
ply not to exceed 70 per cent. The
need of an association to procure ad--
ditional labor is imperative and
worthy of your support. Sign up
without delay, the quicker organiza-
ton is completed, the sooner relief
will be felt and less loss will be sus-
tanned. If the organization fails for
want of the required support, what
do you, Mr.. Reader, estimate the re-
suit will be when the cotton harvest
time comes? Last wear the loss on
low grades on account of trashy pick
ing was fully $50 per bale to say
nothing of field wastage on account
of shortage of pickers. Picking sea-
son will be on us before we can get
the pickers.
