TEXAS LABOR LAW UPSET

All sugar beet companies depend
ing upon Mexican labor to thin sugar
beets are greatly benefited by action
taken by the U. S. Federal Court
recently.
The following is taken from Facts
About Sugar-Agricultural Edition
and was turned in for publication by
M. l.. Pettis, local representative of
the American Beet Sugar Company:
can interlocutary injunction stay
ing state officials from enforcing the
provisions of the recently enacted
state labor law granted in the United
States district court here on June 1.
The injunction was issued in favor
of the Michigan Sugar Company and
enabled the company to transport to
Michigan 600 laborers who had been
hired in this market. Final hearing
on the motion to make the Injunction
permanent will be- held at Fort
Worth, July 1.
"On May II the state legislature
adopted a measure described as an
emergency labor law which imposed
an annual license fee of SIS 900 on any
labor recruiting agency operating in
the state and a further fee of $1,000
for each county in which such opera
lions were carried on. In addition,
any organization moving laborers out
of the state was required to give a
bond for the protection of, possible
creditors of such laborers within the
state. AS stated in the law, it's pur-
pose was to prevent the recruiting of
labor in Texas for employment in
other parts of the country. The ac-
ton of the legislature threatened to
make serious difficulties for the beet
sugar companies, inasmuch as large
part of the seasonal labor employed
in the beet fields ordinarily is obtain
ed in Texas.

Sugar Company instituted the pro-
ceedings which resulted in the issu-

D. H. McCracken, 79-year-old Pipe

struck by a meat delivery wagon at
Pipestone. The truck for the Sole
and Schirmer meat market at Pipe
stone, driven by Roger Smith, struck
the aged man as he was backing away
from a farmers wagon at the out
skirts of town. McCracken had been
talking to a farmer who had halted
his team in the street and at the
conclusion of their conversation step
ped backward and into the pathway
of the oncoming delivery truck. The
victim of the accident was carried
for a distance of several yards be-
fore the driver was able to stop the
truck. He suffered bad fracture of
the leg, dislocated shoulder, and his
head was badly crushed. Although
he was rushed to a hospital, Nc

Farm Shortage of Wheat
Urged On Growers

the grain is dry, and by Immediately
removing any damp weed seeds or
other foreign matter that may be
present in the threshed grain. In
some cases it is not possible to delay
Combining or threshing until the
grain is thoroughly dry, and if farm
storage equipped with grain-elevating
machinery is available, the damp
grain can be dried to a considerable
extent by frequently transferring the
grain from one bin to another dur
ing dry weather. Grain that contains
only a slight excess of moisture can
be dried in the bins by the use OF
ventilators.
Discussing protein premiums, eco
nomists of the Department of Agrl-.
| culture declare that the payment OF
premiums for hard wheats of high
protein content has become common
practice at many of the interior ter
minal markets. Protein premiums
are now also being paid direct to
farmers at many country elevators
in hard-red-winter and hard-red
spring wheat areas. During the
harvesting period in any grain area,
however, country elevator operators
often have difficulty handling grain
on a protein basis and usually must
bin the wheat without reference to
its protein content. This situation
may be overcome by putting part
of the wheat into farm storage at
time of threshing, testing for protein
content, and marketing at later
date.
Grain storages recommended by
the department may be portable or
stationary, and of either temporary
or permanent construction. Complete
working drawings for the structures
may be obtained from the Bureau of
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
C. all farm grain bins, it is pointed
out, should be ventilated unless equip
ment is such that damp grain can be
transferred from one bin to another
to prevent heating in storage. A
printed leaflet which discusses fully
the advantage of farm storage of
grain will be issued soon. Copies
may be obtained free by addressing
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., and asking for
