They were good workers
and after they’d pick their quota, they had a quota of 50
bushels of apples a day. They’d pick that and then pick for
the guard. What they made above the quota we’d go down to
the store and buy them what they wanted. Those guys worked, they
were all good workers. They picked tomatoes for us, they picked
so many boxes of tomatoes. As I can remember we had at least 20
of them on the farm picking. They would send one guard. I don’t
know if he even had a gun or not.
