Waiting for the semimonthly relief checks at #Calipatria, #ImperialValley, #California. Typical story: fifteen years ago they owned farms in #Oklahoma. Lost them through foreclosure when cotton prices fell after the war. Became tenants and sharecroppers. With the drought and dust they came #West, 1934-1937. Never before left the county where they were born. Now although in #California over a year they haven't been continuously resident in any single county long enough to become a legal resident. Reason: migratory agricultural laborers

Forty families of drought and depression refugees camped by the roadside beside an irrigated pea field. A freeze which destroyed the pea crop threw practically every family in this camp on emergency relief. #Ninemiles from #Calipatria, #California

Outside #theFarmSecurityAdministration (#FSA) grant office during the pea harvest. #Calipatria, #California. During #springof1938 for the #first time, the labor surplus had grown so large that relief grants were necessary even during the peak of harvest. Colored migrants are becoming more numerous #thisyear
