Mr. Wilson's let- *j ter was in reply to one from Dr. ] Jcrnagiu requesting a clarifica- *1 tion of the law. Said Mr. Wilson. "As passed ' Public Law 1.3 places no limita- .j tions upon the movement of individual farm workers-tinder their *j own resources or with the assis-^.] tanee of employer-fanners o f*.j other individuals.

How- j ever, he cannot be moved from- j I one county to another at the ex- , ! pense of the Government without I the consent of the County Agent.
