I can say to the Senator that. quoting from the United States census report. in the spring of 1940 in the State of Florida alone many thousands of those itinerant workers were engaged in the cultivation and the harvesting of vegetables which were sent forth from that State to various consuming areas of the Nation. Those migrant workers. not so fortunate as some of us to be able to reside in satisfactory and sanitary homes. follow the market and follow the vegetable and fruit crops which come into maturity at various times in various sections of the country. They go from the Southeast up the Atlantic seaboard. some of them reach the State of Kentucky and perform there a kind of work different from that which they perform in Florida. The question is not whether they are going to keep on migrating.
