MonduY: Import
$50 Workers

The cutting of cane at the
Virgin Islands Corporation
and by private growers got
underway on Monday, Janu-
airy rs. The factory began
grinding on Wednesday, Janu-
airy %.
The Corporation is import
ing $50 British West Indian
laborers for the harvesting of
the sugarcane crop. Approx
mate1y 200 Of these will come
from Antigua; 50 from An
guilla and Tortola; and 200.
from ST Lucia, Due to a grow
ing scarcity Of labor in Anti

The crop is estimated at
approximately 100000 tons,

terminate during the latter
part of April.
