I desire to have the RECORD reflect that West Virginia has growers who have found it necessary to employ supplemental farm labor. The labor problem faced by West Virginia in terms of numbers is not of the magnitude of that faced by producers in other States. The employment of migrant workers in our State is small. for example. compared with the number employed in the States of Florida and California. Nevertheless. to those producers who must have labor. and have it at certain times. and in areas dependent in large degree on the economy generated by our fruitgrowers. the problem looms as large in West Virginia as it looms elsewhere In the United States. For example. the apple industry. based for the most part in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. accounts for approximately 6 million bushels of apples and is worth $20 million annually to the Mountain State.
