...boys around who prefer white lightning to bonded bourbon. In fact, while the smalltimers are being forced out of business, big operators are holding their own. The "revenoo" recently seized 1,146 gallons of 'shine (worth up to $8,000 untaxed) in Dawsonville, Ga.-their biggest local haul in four years.

Interstate migrancy has diminished due partly to mechanization, and partly to other forms of labor exploitation such as day-haul programs, which make it possible to tap the large pool of unemployed in the cities. In any case, being a seasonal laborer, migrant or non-migrant, means dangerous work (farm work is the third most dangerous occupation in California), low wages, abysmally low yearly incomes, unemployment and poor or nonexistent...
