Threshers may be Negroes, Mexicans, half-breed Indians or poor whites, and the typical crew, made up of a family and friends, cruises from job to job in dilapidated automobiles. They camp in the groves they are picking, put in a ten or eleven hour day, spend evenings singing and dancing, like a siesta at noon, a fiesta every weekend. Threshers, who climb and shake the trees, make from $4 to $6 a day. Gatherers...
