Some of the southern states,
fearing that their workers
would not return, sought to ex-
clude outsiders. A few northern
labor seekers were jailed and
sent home without help. But
somehow, somewhere, New Jer-
sey and Maryland farmers found
enough hands to harvest their
precious crops.
Then nearly in September, the
peak of the season came to up
state New York. Schoolchildren
and oldsters had done an heroic
job in bringing in beans and the
lighter produce. But fruits and
tomatoes and potatoes were too
heavy for children. And one
couldn't expect an alderly per-
son to climb a 19-foot ladder to
pick apples.
What to do?
The FSA was drawing up
plans for the transportation of
Mexican workers into California
late this fall when it received
distress calls from New York's
beleaguered farmers. Within "a
hours the agency reshaped its
plans to meet the eastern emer-
gency and announced that it
was prepared to transport from
any part of the country all the
skilled agricultural workers
who could be recruited by the
U. S. Employment Service.
SEARCHED FIVE STATES
In the week of worry that fol-
lowed, USES combed a large
for idle manpower. 1t found
some in Kentucky, West Vir-
GINA, in Tennessee and Ohio.
Almost 1900 of the people,
mostly mountain folk, were put
aboard trains and rushed where
needed. Farmers paid SIS toward
tie transportation of each hand;
FSA paid the balance of trans
portation costs to and from the
area, fed the migrants en- route
and housed them in five FSA
camps on their arrival, which
conceded with the arrival of the
seasons peak.
New problems arose.

STAFFORD, Conn. Nov. =
Migratory agricultural workers
in the east are now returning
to their homes after Americas
first big Wartime battle against
farm labor shortage.
For the nation, for the farm
ers and for the migrants it is a
trek of triumph. Itinerant har-
vest hands have met the first
serious threat of manpower
shortage and, generally, have
solved it. Wherever eastern mi
grants worked this year-and
the government attracted or
transported them to areas in
which the harvest problems
were most pressing-no appre-
ciable crop losses resulted.
Preparations for the battle
against crop losses were begun
last winter when the govern
ment assigned the Farm Secur-
ity Administration to the opera
ton of migratory labor camps in
the east. These camps, each
housing up to 900 wandering
workers and their families, were
d signe d to serve as a pool
for transient help. In normal
times, as Ravens for Okies and
Ankles busted into CALIFORNIA,
they had served this purpose
with remarkable success.
FEW WORKERS RESPONDED
But soon after the program
was launched, it became obvious
that the normal eastern migrant
flow had been diverted into the
armed forces or stemmed before
it could start. Industry had at
tracted thousands. The gasoline
and rubber shortages immobiliz-
ed their jallopies.
The season advanced relent-
lessly, bearing with it the great
est crops the nation had even
grown-crops needed vitality by
an America at war and by its al
lies.
Farmers in Maryland and
New Jersey, desperate for help,
drove trucks to the south and
brought in experienced pickers.

Some of the migrants were Is
and 16-year-old girls. Chaperon
ing facilities were limited, so
FSA sent them back home.
Some of the workers were too
old and enfeebled to do the
work. They were sent back
home. Drunks and incompetents
V 10 could only demoralize the
other workers were sent pack
ing.
In all, 8 per cent of the first
consignments were sent back.
But requirements were secured
an / the work went on. The per-
centage of incompetents dropped
to two later, when FSA gave
medical examinations to all job
candidates before entraining
them for the north.
FARMERS LOANED CLOTHES
Moro workers were rushed
ino New Jersey and Connecti-
cut to harvest the late crops
there. Some came ill-clad for
the cool weather then sweeping
in from the Atlantic. But clothes
were found farmers loaned
them.
Labor-hungry industry made
bids for the Connecticut farm
workers; but FSA and USES
put their foot down. They warn
ed migrants that their departure
for industry would jeopardize
the harvest, violate the contract
between government and labor.
A few migrants couldn't un-
derstand. They wanted those big
industrial wages. FSA called up
on its camp council%of, by and
for migrants-to intervene.
Henry Stepp, SIS, had left
school in Martin County, KY, in
the fifth grade. But, as he ex-
planned to the migrants-many
of them old neighbors-that
didn't keep him from raising a
good family, living decent life,
and eventually becoming a re-
spected county judge in Ken

His listeners weren't. They
returned to work and did an
outstanding job.
DIRECTOR WELL PLEASED
j. H. Wood, FSA regional di-
rector, expressed satisfaction
with the operation of the camps
this year.
I'VE ran into more difficult
ties than we anticipated" Wood
explained. 1--WE ran into them,
beat them, and learned good
deal about getting labor where
it's needed Next year we'll ap-
ply all we have learned to a
better program than ever.
Il know farmers are worried
about seasonal labor for next
year. But know that they won't
let their government down
through fear. II labor and in
dustry and our armed forces
gave up because they couldn't
see their way clear to overcom-
ing next years difficulties, this
war would be lost right now.
THE farmer is no gutter. He
will be doing his wartime job
next year better than ever. And,
as far as the farm situation goes,
SO will the government. 1t
must!"
