In the South, 10000 fewer
workers we're employed on June
/, than on the same date a year
ago, and over a million fewer
than during the period 1858.
Heavy rainfall was partly re-
sponsible for the reduction in
the number Of workers in the
South. However, the harvesting
of truck crops, the setting of
tobacco, and the chopping of
cotton are now getting well I'M
derway in that region.
West Indian workers make up
part Of the farm labor force.
The Labor Branch reports that
as Of June IS, there were about
5000 Jamaicans, 1000 Baham-
ians, and 500 Barbadians en-
