GROWERS SET
PICKING SCALE
Willacy Farmers Not
To Bid Against
Each Other

RAYMoNDvILLE, June 1s.-Bid-
ding for cotton piekers will be elm
mated in Willacy county this year,
and the growers will pay uniform
prices fer picking, was the decision
Of q farmers mass meeting held here
Saturday, in which the various
phases Of the labor situation were
discussed. Farmers from all sections
of the county agreed 20 cooperate in
s~uppressing competitive bidding for
pickers and to maintain a uniform
scale.
Approximately 10000 pieksrs will
be needed to handle the huge cotton
crop Wiilacy county will produce IL
weather conditions remain favorable.
The crop is in excellent shape, boil
weevil infestation is not heavy. aud
growers report the plants are "put-
ting on" In Q manner which indicates
a record crop. In former years IL has
been a common practice for growers
to bid against each other for pickers.
This has resulted in increasing the
cost of picking aud lowering the eff
ficisncy Of the pickers.
"The piekers would spend most Of
their time looking fer q higher price
instead Of picking cotton" one farm
err said, "and as each farmer would
bid against the other for the services
OF the pickers they were kept moving
from one field TO another, seldom
completing the picking at any n
farm. The grower was also kept busy
trying TO find new pickers 10 replace
those some other farmer had taken
from his fields by bidding a few
cents more per hundred pounds"
Considerable trouble was caused In
willacy county in 1926 when a heavy
cotton CROP was produced and pickers
were scarce, and the growers ex-
/ pressed themselves as determined 70
eliminate the condition this year.

is Oakland's greatest asset, and it
should have the united and loyal sup

men.
