SAN BENITo. July II. - How
many Gotten pickers work in the
fields Of the lower Rio Grande VAL
ley during the cotton picking sea-
son?
Apparently little attention has
previously been paid to this ques-
ton. Several cotton men when
asked about IL, were not willing to
make a guess.
So II. p. Boyd, the cotton prog
n~osticator, ana recognized as a spe-
cialist in cotton, was asked about the
number of pickers.
And Mr.. Boyd started figuring.
The Valley gins around 100000 bales
of cotton In a season, or probably
will gin that amount this year. This
total Is picked in about sixty days,
this eason from July Is, to Sep
TENDER Is, the majority of it will
be in.
Then for convenience he took an
estimate of 10000 cotton pickers,

HOW MANY PICKERSDOES
VALLEY COTTON REQUIRE?
$4,000 is GOOD ESTIMATE

picking an average Of 100 pounds a
day. This means 100000 pounds
Of seed cotton a day, or 6s6,see
pounds Of lint cotton, or a little
over 1900 bales a day.
So Mr.. Boyd estimated the total
number Of pickers at around $4,000.
During the peak OF the picking sea-
son, probably more than that num-
Der. probably as high as 10000 pick
ers, are in the field. Even this
number was probably passed in
1926 when the Valley ginned over
10000 bales.
Mr.. Boyd estimated that only
from 5000 to 5000 pickers come into
the Valley from other sections dur
ing the picking 1t may be
even smaller than that, he said,
twenty-five thousand cotton pick
ers is a lot Of pickers," he said. and
laughed at the report that the VAL
ley needs 100000 pickers from the
