BUY PRINT February 1939. "Madera County, California. Family from near Dallas, Texas. Rent is $5 a month.
There's no future here. I've been following the work (migratory labor)
but there's no chance for a fellow to get aholt hisself in this country. The last job I had is tractor driving for 35 cents an hour. Had that job for five months until a Filipino comes along for 25 cents an hour. I was raised on a cotton farm my father owned, a little place back there, and I'm plumb willing to leave this country for good before I get too old, If I could get the chance to farm." Photo by Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration.
