SUNSHINE BETRAYS
ARMY OF CHILDREN
INTO CROP BONDAGE
Tiny Workers Criss-Cross State
Year Round Working In
Fields There
HAVE NO HOME OF OWN
Come "From Cotton" And CAS-
paragus," But From NJ
Town Or Section
BY A. H. FREDERICK

SACRAMENTO, Calf, March 6.
Service Writer. )-Cailfor-
MAS sunshine has betrayed an army
of children into crop bondage.
The ye2r round these tiny work
ers traverse Inc state, crossing and
criss-crossing their own paths.
Unattached to any city or town,
they know no permanent homes save
the autos and auto camps in which
they live.
There are some 10000 of therl.
And the majority receive little or
no education because the crops de-
mand too much of their time to
permit attendance at school
The age of these children who gu
into the fields is from a few weer
to 10 years. Babies can be found
swaddled in bundles on the ground,
while their Parents gather the crops.
Children of and labor beside
their parents.
These youngsters who have for
gotten how to play speak a Ian
guage of their own.
Where are you from?" asked
one 12-year-old girl of a new ar
rival.
From cotton" answers the othe".
GIVE been in asparagus" states
the first.
This is their country and their
life-cotton, asparagus, cherries
and so on through the states "a
crops.
They have forgotten how to p'
because play time vitality is consula
ed in the fields. They stoop and
gather until their backs ache and
their whole being cries for rest.
With the days work finished, they
are only too glad to throw them
selves down to sleep on beds con-
sisting usually of quilts or blankets
of uninviting appearance.
Within the state runs this hectic,
aimless whirlpool of secondhand
cars, autos trucks, farm wagons, any
thing which will carry a man and
his family. The father drives, the
mother sits beside him, the luggage
is piled into the car or strapped to
running boards. The children perch
wherever they can find hold.
The whirlpool extends through

Mallory's case has gone to the
Supreme Court of Georgia and ht
has been sentenced to hang three
tins. Respite, however, interfes-
red in two instances, but in one
case the sheriff had no death war
rant and theexecution was passed
1t is this feature of the case that
furnishes the ground for the
new plea and it, too, may go to the
Supreme Court, lawyers say.

40 HOGS IN CAR
AVERAGE 1873 LBS.

IRWINGTON, Ca, March G.
H. A. Cleft, farm demonstration of
Wilkinson county, sold a carload of
hogs raised by farmers of that
county, near Danville recently.
There were 10 head in the car,
averaging about 1876 pounds. The
Price received was cents.
Farmers of this section are grad
ually turning to this industry to
take the place of cotton, there be-
ing so much land we'll adapted to
raising hogs here. There is great
deal Of talk of a meat curing plant,
and everyone realizes that this is
one of the greatest needs of the
county at the present time.

38 of CALIFORNIA; So counties. TIL,
crops mature at different times
The conveyances follow.
Outside the state two great feed
ing streams supply whatever work
ers are needed.
Down through Washington apples
and Oregon hops they come from
homes left far behind in the plains
states apd even the Great Lakes re-
gions.
Up through southern California
comes a second stream, The cotton
workers. Many families in this I
rent have worked in cotton from
the Old South through state after
state until they have reached the
cotton fields of southern California.
Here they strike the whirlpool and
are absorbed among the $4,000.
All nations except the Chinese
and japanese are represented in this
child labor problem. There are
Italians, Americans, Mexicans, ne
groes, Russians, and all the hetorc-
geny that makes up California.
But nationality is rapidly lost in
the new race into which they are be-
ing builded-the race Of children
who don't fit in.
Many of them seem to sense
that they are different" and feel
great anxiety to conform"
"The migratory child of today
resents the situation because he
had known better times and differ
ent conditions" says Miss Georg:-
ana Garden, of the state Depart
ment of Education, who has made
extensive inquiry into the situation.
But the problem i smore diff
cult when we consider the future
'cropper.' The child born in the
crops, knowing nothing else, will
not care. He will adjust himself to
conditions and become an habitual
drifter, a spendthrift and a man or
woman of no ties to make him or
her a better citizen"
In one camp a girl who had pass
ed through the first six grades had
established a school. 1t was free,
and attended by every child in the
camp voluntarily. The teacher was
Is years old!
Instances are not infrequent
where a child has asked the teacher
of school to lay out course of
study because I'm going to citrus,
where there amt no school, or
some other crop.
In 1921 the state Department If
introduced into the Legis-
lature a migratory school law. An
appropriation of $4,000 was made
to establish temporary schools,
where the little nomads gathered.
Also penalties were provided Tor
parents who did not enroll their
children in the new district to which
they moved.
But later it was found more prac-
ticable to place emergency teachers
in the regular district schools, and
to absorb the influx there"
