ance of blackout regulations will be
voluntary in that county after that
time"

issued a statement ordering the
Statewide test to begin at pm
"as a partial blackout, applying to
all dwellings and commercial estab-
lishments except those exempted at
the request of military and naval
authorities"
Some time after pm. public air.
raid signals will be sounded and
there will be a total blackout in the
State for period of about 80 min
utes until the all clear is sounded,
when the State will return to the
partial blackout."
Claims Full Authority.

that he had received a commune
cation from the 1st Fighter Com
mand which gave him absolute
authority to hold the State wide

Hy the Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Tex, July 4.
The Department of Agriculture Is
working on a plan to pay Tor trans-
portation Of migrant workers 10
harvest areas where labor shortages
are acute and to set up more camps
to house them. Secretary OF Agrl-
culture Claude r. Wickard has re-
vealed.
In a speech at the dedication OF =
new AAA headquarters building IN
Texas, Wickard warned that wniie
the Nations present food situation
is favorable, II don't think our 1u-
ture prospects for food are a.
good" -
He listed difficulty in getting farm

as major problems to be met.

ers that farmers have depended OH
are not following the crops as they
did," the Secretary said.
Jalopies Break Down.
"They used to transport them
selves in their old jalopies. NOW
these cars are breaking down and
their tires are wearing out. We must
find a way to make the labor OF
these people available to farmers.
We already have made an agree
ment with the railroads for lower
fares for these people, but that IN
itself is not enough.
I'VE are working on a plan 1or
| the Government to pay transporta-
| ton expenses, and to set up more
camps to house the workers near
the places where they are needed.
Frankly, we haven't gotten very
far yet. For one thing, we don't
have the necessary funds. The only
way for farmers to move help In
now is to get together and pay the
whole transportation cost. For an
other thing, there is certain
amount of confusion and divided
authority in our approach. Farmers
and the Federal Government must
work out exactly what they need to
do, and then go ahead and do 1t.
Cites Enemy Methods.
1--WE are fighting an enemy who
Is using forced labor and who stops
at nothing to put that labor where
it helps his war machine most. Thus
far, we don't even have any way
that will enable our free workers
to get to the places where farmers
need them"
Detailing the present favorable
food outlook, Wickard said If farm
ers get a break from the weather,
"They will set an all-time high" for
production. He added the average
ton of food sent abroad now rep
resents a lot more food value than
an average ton sent during early
months of lend lease" because bet
ter methods of COMPRISING the bulk
of foods are constantly being de-
veloped.
