Migrant cherries and harsh camp life in Michigan orchard
The migrant workers in Michigan’s cherry fields endure a bleak camp behind Seth Tompkins’ orchard with limited water and sanitation. Workers earn about 50 cents per crate, face summer heat and flies, and confront prejudice in Traverse City while planning return trips to Texas for the tomato harvest.

Bones of Indian Tribe in Kansas Long a Mystery
In Salina Kansas the exposed bones of a peaceful, tall Indian tribe lie in a barn on the Price farm. Archaeologists have not named the extinct people, who lived in the Smoky Hill river valley and left no weapons. About 146 individuals were buried in 1936 with no grave goods, suggesting a spiritual belief. The Price brothers run a wheat farm and allow tours for a small fee, with Smithsonian involvement and plans to restore the environment for Boy Scouts.
