<ul><li><b>Scope and content:</b>  Kern County, California. Migrant youth in potato field. This girl came from the Oklahoma state three years ago and lives with her father in a rural slum in Wasco, Kern County, where they "settled." "We got mighty tired of roaming around." Because they have settled down, their jobs in peas, potatoes and cotton are obtained less by the hit-and-miss methods and more by knowing local contractors and independent farmers. They are now considered "locals" in the community in which they live. The girl never had a chance to finish high school and will be nineteen "come August 11." While the girl and her father are away from Wasco on jobs, they live in the trailer in which they came from Oklahoma</li></ul></div>
