Uncle Sam to Move Transient Farm Labor Westward
Regional Farm Security official Charles Milley outlined a government program to shift 150000 to 200000 agricultural workers this year to where needed, aided by the Farm Security Administration and U S employment services. He cited rail transport of up to 4000 workers from Missouri and Tennessee to Arizona and New Mexico cotton districts and noted 18000 workers moved last year, with 450 last trainload from Missouri. The plan includes housing for 3826 families in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana and aims to prevent labor wastage by matching workers to fields while contending with housing shortages.
