The article focuses on the author's journey to the agricultural byways of U.S. Certain streets in every city are reserved for cheap restaurants and employment agencies known in the vernacular of the farm workers as "slave markets." Crossing the plains of the country author have learned much about the "jungle"-that waste spot on the edge of the American city where the unemployed can camp in Stockton, California, it is on the city dump along a drainage canal back of the wharves of the Sacramento River. And it really has great natural advantages shelter, a free food supply, water, and splendid isolation from the well-to-do and curious.
