But he does believe there will ! be some opportunity for Tar Heel farmers to cash in on the situation, particularly in the pro- , duct ion of crops that require a- j bundant hand labor such as vine ripened tomatoes and stiawber ries. Brooks points out. however, that farm labor in North Caro lina is not as readily available as some people think, and it may be difficult for local farmers to take full advantage of the situa tion. Braceros over 400.000 of them in some yea is — are used primarily in the Southwest. Northwest and Great Lakes re gions. Their use as farm laborers is opposed by labor muons and welfare groups. Cong it* s voted originally to end the braroro program at the end of 1903. Farm interests rais ed such a howl, however, until Congress extended the program for another year.

The California study called the ; prospects of nuvhanization tak •ng up the slack • slim". With the exception of tomatoes for pro cessing, mechanization is expect ed to provide little help in the next fhe years with the 12 crops I involved: strawberries, lettuce, lemons, asparagus, melons, sug ar beets, snap beans, grapes. ' oranges and celery. Braceros are 1 also used to chop cotton. Tlie Wall Street Journal re ported recently that a food pro cessing plant was being built in Mexico to prepare fruits and ve getables for sale in the U. S now that production of these crops was expected to drop in his country. The Journal reports that an Ohio firm is making arrange tnents to get apricots from Aus tralia now that the California supply appears uncertain. Win ter lettuce plantings in Califor nia’s Imperial Valley is reported down. Malcolm Douglas, manager of the California Strawberry Ad visory Board, says the end of the bracero program will mean $1 per pint strawberries in New , York.
