What if it Snows?

For years, the sweet potato farmers in Vardaman, MS would deal with labor contractors to bring in certain numbers of field workers. School buses would show up with hands, bunkhouse and kitchen provided on the farm, all worked, stayed, got paid well and did excellent work planting and harvesting seasons. End of contract, all were bussed back, accounted for and turned over home. Too simple and logical,so newer programs wereimplemented.

 

Copy of an old post ref border crossings...
Ran Columbus, MS to LA - Frisco every week with Beneke for over a year in 1957/58. Team, out and back. Sierra Blanca was a convenient
place to switch. Always expecting the red light and Border Patrol ladder side visit. Seemed like the illegals came up on the southside
road (you being eastbound) on old US80. Seems it was far enough out of El Paso to be a better chance overall.
Late night, you eastbound, red light come on on the car, you brake down. A man appears and shinnies up the driver side, you say hi, he reply's.
Get's close to your face and ask if any one in the sleeper. Man in sleeper rouses and speaks. Guy drops back down and the man with a
shotgun over by the car lifts his shotgun and kills the red light. Different days, different ways...
