I represent a district in West Texas that is overflowing with sound. solid basic Americans who have been brought up on the principle that in order to reap you must sow. The south end of my district produces a great amount of cotton. as does the district of the Honorable GEORGE MAHON. the Honorable OMAR BURLESON. and the Honorable FRANK IKARD. who have worked hard to correct the situation. Since this section of the country has been inhabited. the crops have been harvested by migrant workers of several nationalities and colors. including those of LatinAmerican descent. those of Negro descent. and many white families. This of course has been a tradition with these people. who begin their activities in the lower Rio Grande Valley where the crops are early. They harvest these crops and work north as the harvest season progresses in that direction.
