One of a community of shacks in the subdivided orchard rented to agricultural workers on and off relief. Ex-tenant farmer from Oklahoma speaks, I was raised in a time when every man hepped himself and the Lord hepped him. Now I haven't made $5 since November 16, 1939. I've raised and matched 6 children back there in Osage County, I had a right smart place, but the land grabbers got me. It's like a man buying a mule, they choose only the best of them. Worlds of them are left out. When I went to farming in 1914 some of them land grabbers was farming with a plow in those days like I was. But a small man can't take the dry weather, the bugs, and all the rest that comes and make it. I stayed together as long as I could. A human being is a funny thing when he knows he's gyped. He wants to take a change somewhere else. I reckon the AAA gyped me out of my share and put me on the road.
