Observe LET'S Pick
The Cotton Week

This is Lets Pick the Cotton
Week" in Arizona and the States
biggest single economic factor :
cotton-is looking to the citizens
to take up the slack caused by
shortage of some 5000 pickers.
Youth during out of :. school
hours, and housewives on a part
time basis are all being urged to
participate along with full-time
pickers.
Potentially Arizona faces the
prospect of nrillion-bale cotton
crop, one of the greatest in history,
but this goal cannot be realized
unless thousands of Arizonans go
into the fields to earn extra money
for themselves and at the same
time aid in the harvesting of a
crop which last year amounted to
S2OOOOO,OOO.
Governor Howard Pyle in a pro-
clamation setting forth October
25-31 as Lets Pick the Cotton
Week" called on "all citizens to
assist the Arizona State Employs
ment Service in every way possible
to attain full utilization of domes-
tic labor in this essential harvest"
The Governors proclamation
stated that it is desirable to use
IAN absolute minimum of foreign
labor" in harvesting this years
crop.
The idea behind the drive to OBJ
tain domestic help in, picking this
years crop is to reduce the need
for foreign labor, thus contributing
to the economic welfare of the
State by keeping the larger pro-
portion of the wages at home.
Persons interested in earning
money for themselves and at the
same time aiding in the economy
of the State, should visit or call
their nearest Arizona State En-
ployment Service Office.
