At Human
Ashland - Dunbar Carpen
ter of the Jackson County
Fruit Growers League discuss
ed the migratory worker at a
meeting o the Ashland Hu
man Rights Council last week.
He also presented the case
for the fruit grower, who he
said is at the mercy of an un
predictable and inadequate la
bor force in harvesting a per
ishable crop.
The Rev. Ed Wulfekuehler,
program chairman, introduced
Carpenter, who began by say
ing the problem of the mi
grant worker is one that evok
es sympathy and is involved.
There are between l'ii and 2
million migrant workers in
the United States living under
substandard conditions, endur
ing hardships and are seldom
well treated by employers or
the public.
Sociological Problem
According to Carpenter, the
predicament of the migrant
workers is more a sociological
problem than an economic
, one. He contended that mi
grant workers, for the most
part, are the people who are
not adequately equipped men
tally, emotionally and some
times physically to cope with
life's problems.-
He said the Orchardist never
knows when the migrant
worker will walk off in the
middle of harvest, and leave
the fruit on the trees.
Fundamental Principal
Carpenter asserted that the
basic problem of the migra
tory worker would not be
helped too much If the farm
er were to pay higher wages,
although it would be the hu
mane approach. He admitted
: that the growers brought
many of the problems on
themselves, but slated that the
solution will have to come

three fundamental principles
of farm economics: (!) all farm
products are sold on an auc
tion basis; (2) there Is not re
lation between cost and selling
price; and (3) there is no way
to pass increased costs on.
In this area, fruit does not
sell for any more than it did
in J 050, and it is a constant
battle to hold costs down, in
cluding wages, he said. Al
though wages are well below
what industry pays, he said
that northwest wages are high
er than anywhere else.
Carpenter pointed out that
this valley has brought in
Mexican nationals to help
with the pear harvest every
season since early in World
War II, The Mexicans, who
amount to less than 10 per
cent of the total harvest labor
force, are not migrant work
ers.
He said there has not been
a single year which would not
have had a serious economic
loss if it had not been for
Mexican nationals.
Costs More Money
it costs the farmer more
money to employ the Mexi
cans than it docs domestic la
bor because of transportation
costs from Mexico, housing,
and administrative personnel.
According to Carpenter, the
orchardists would use only do
mestic labor if they could be
depended upon to get the crop
harvested.
Last year, the Jackson Coun
ty Fruit Growers League em
ployed 348 Mexican nationals,
he said, who worked a total of
93,l3fl hours for an average of
$1.43 per hour. At the same
time, the fruit growers had
asked for 2.378 pickers from
the farm employment office.
The latter was able to refer
only 1,915 workers, of whom
1,805 turned up for work.
Carpenter said that in his
operation, Mexican nationals
constituted 7 per cent of the
labor hired, but they picked
3(1 per cent of the crop. Many
domestic workers worked just
one day, while"78 per cent
stayed less than a week. The
Maxicans remained for the
five weeks on contract.
Carpenter said that In this
area there is not the regular
flow of migratory workers
there is elsewhere.
He assured the Council that
the living quarters here for
migratory workers, while not
plush, are clean and comfor
table with inside plumbing,
hot and cold water, and facili
ties have to pass a state stand

Wilh Tremendous Effort
Porpoise 'Walks on Its Tail'
An airplane maintains its
position in the air only by the
expenditure of tremendous
power. But regardless of its
ability to fly, it is chained to
the earth, because once the
thrust of power fails, it falls.
The power of gravity, ever
present, is always exerting its
force. It sits on the ground
with ease; a man walks upon
the ground with equal ease.
Walking or running takes ef
fort. Anything out of the reg
ular pattern becomes ' hard
work.
The ocean-going porpoise is
chained to the water, but it
can get partly out of its nat
ural element for short inter
vals of time with tremendous
effort when it "walks on its
tail." To accomplish this it
must expend all the muscu
lar power it possesses in order
to remain in an upright posi
tion. It is only the exception
al few porpoises that figure
the effort is worth the advan
tages gained.
By Themselves
Some porpoises, being a
shade more intelligent than
their fellows or perhaps a
little more curious develop
the trick by themselves.
Wild porpoises have been
observed many times coming
up out of the water and
"standing on their tails" in
order to see what, if anything,
is going on. ,
Captive porpoises are taught
the stunt. Usually it is adver
tised as a dancing porpoise or
as a "porpoise that walks on
its tail." To accomplish this
rather unnatural position the
animal must wave the tail
violently back and forth with
powerful thrusts, until the wa
ter actually "boils" with the
fury of the effort.
Some of the captive animals
who have mastered the tech
nique can remain suspended
in the air for several seconds,
and have only about a foot of

Tiring Effort
After the exhibition, the
porpoise is reluctant to at
tempt it again for some little
time. It's a tiring stunt and he
wants to rest. Like a faithful
dog the intelligent porpoise
will gladly exert itself, even
to "standing on its tail" to
please its audience or to en
joy for a brief moment the ex
tended horizon a higher ele-
vation affords.
