Dr. Omer Mills, FSA official just returned from a tour of the distress area, said there is a "great of labor which will oversupply, through the year in the agricultural areas." Unlike the migratory workers who made California's perennial farm labor problem before roxinust storm era, most of these jobhunters are former farmers, Cut loose from their farms in Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas by disaster and mechanization of farming, they moved West. The rapid increase in cotton growing in CaliArizona brought them forties States to work in the harvest. The picking was finished about February 1, and in 10 days the Farm Security Administration had a problem on its hands. Prolonged rains and floods delayed putting in new crops, and farm employment low.

Other crops, already growing, ester delayed, postponing harvest. Much land will not be harvested. So the relief problem grew. In less than two months the FSA handed out funds to 8525 families. Average payments were $26 in California, and $20 in Arizona.

1000 There been close repeat grants, or checks paid out. Dr. Mills said the nomads are eluctant to take relief. WAIT FOR HUNGER "They wait until they are hungry," he said. "When they finally ask for help, they have to get it away.

That is why right, food depots at Fresno, Firebaugh, Madera, Merced, Visalia, Corcoran and at our labor camps at Arvin and Shafter." Besides the San Joaquin Valley, there have been other distress spots. Notably the Spring pea producing areas--Imperial Valley, and Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. Curtailment of California's cotton creage this will make the surplus labor problem that much worse, Dr. Mills said. Some increase in the sugar beet acreage will take up a part of the oversupply.
