The labor shortage is acute in the
Brownsville section a. we'll as in
other parts OF the Valley. local gin
ners and growers state. All local
gins ere well supplied with workman.
but the number Of pickers IN the
Brownsville section has decreased
the past week, as shown by the re-
dueed amount Of cotton coming ints
the LEGAL gins. Brownsville gins re-
ported 4 total Of 200 bales up 10
Tuesday night, and had the supply
Of pickers been sufficient the total
would have been over $500, ginners
stated.
In the Harlingen. Edinburg and
Mission sections the labor shortage
is extremely serious. In the Combes
section thousands Of acres are open
with very few pickers in the fields.
Growers state II will take them a
month to pick the cotton with the
supply available, and the loss from
shedding will be heavy unless the
situation improves Immediately.
The cotton growers in the unirri-
gated section are confronted with
the same problem a. those or the ir-
riEated lands. In the ranch section
Of northern Hidalgo county, where a
large acreage was planted this year
growers have not succeeded in secur-
ing ten per cent Of the number OF
pickers needed, and they will sustain
a heavy loss through wastage of
open cotton.

II will reply il detail later to the
statement issued today announcing
the candidacy of the governor for

The latest statement coming from
the executive office. which was pre-
pared by Mr.. Ferguson. must GER
tainly exhaust the patience of the
people Of Texas and show to even
those who have followed him through
all his vicisstudes his absolute lack
Of political sincerity and his utter
faithlessness to his word. This play
