Mr.. Robertson stated that in no

scale has been advanced TO Sl.r0, and
in some as much as SIPS has been
offered.
Many cotton pickers. he stated, are
spending more time looking for the
higher wages than they are devoting
to the picking Of cotton.
This condition" he added. "shoulh
be remedied. There is no reason
why the farmers should be COM

fore this aid can be brought 70 the
