I want to concentrate on those provisions of the bill which I find of particular concern to agricultural interests and how I propose to improve on the present legislation and to describe the amendments as proposed by the Committee on Agriculture. Mr. Chairman. it is clear to me. at least. in my part of the United States that we have essentially always had a migrant stream. It has been seasonal in nature. In my particular district we grow about 70 different specialty crops and are proud to pay the highest agricultural wages in the world. Occasionally we will run one and two in wages with the State of California. but because we are a little farther out of the mainstream. we need to provide the extra incentive for workers to come our way. I remember when I was a youngster working on the farm that the migrant stream was filled by workers primarily from Oklahoma and Arkansas. And I am proud of the evolutionary process by which they now own and manage many of the farms in the Northwest. Then industrial growth in the South gradually eliminated these States from contributing very many folks to the work force that was needed on a seasonal basis.
