WHEAT GROWERS HOPE
TO CUT DOWN DEBTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-It is poss-
ible that American wheat growers will
get from $lO0OOO.O00 TO $20O.OOO.
600 more for their wheat this year than
last. assuming that they sell something
over JO0.0O0.O00 bushels. says the
United States Department Of Agriculture
in its monthly agricultural review issued
today. This il considerably less than the
Sl.OO0.00O.OO0 increase estimated in
some quarters. but bespeaks an increased
ability to pay eff debts and general i'm
provement in financial conditions in the
wheat country.
On the oth%r hand. the corn situation
j. by no means good. the department
points out. Stands are extremely
spotted many fields are full Of weeds. and
much Of thu crop i 50 far behind that
il will nee4 something approaching a
frostless fan to mature. Corn is a feed
crop and high prices add mainly TO the
cost Of livestock production.

man living in another county, even
though he may be up in central or
northern Texas, may come 10 the Rio
Grande Delta and induce laborers to
leave provided he does il for his own
use However. he cannot induce them
to leave for any one else, nor can ne

come to his part Of the state and work.
However, according TO Sheriff Rob-
ertson. this is being done. At present on,l
Of the vital questions Of the farmer il,

are questioned. A deputy is kept at the
station here. and others are stationed
10 San Benito and Harlingen to see that
thei lahorers of the Valley are not in
du$cd 10 leave this section Of the state.
A favorite method OF these agents in
getting laborers out OF this section of
THE Valley is to come down for them in
nj truck. promise them high wages in
aInother section Of the state, and thus
det them to leave, Sheriff Robertson
ktated. Members OF the sheriffs force
jnrc kept on the road at night in order
TO see that the laborers Of this section
are not taken from the Valley mt night.
and residents of the Delta are asked to
cooperate in this matter, stated the
sheriff.
Anyone seeing a large truckload Of
Iaborers leaving is asked to let the
sheriff know the number OF the truck.
II this way a check can lie kept on those
leaving, and persons coming down ana
taking away Iaborers illegally will be
prosecuted. The law forbids any labor
agents to take laborers from one part
81 the state TO another and Colonel
Robertson expressed his intention TO
see that the law is enforced in this part
Of the state.
