Survey on Pickers of Cotton in Fresno Aug 12
The Agricultural Labor Bureau of the San Joaquin Valley urged the California State Department of Employment to conduct an immediate survey of domestic labor sources for picking cotton and to start a recruiting drive. Bureau manager Ralph B. Bunje cited potential Mexican labor importation and said 80,000 to 85,000 workers would be needed, about 20,000 more than last year, with harvest starting mid October.
