Full caption reads as follows: Edison, Kern County, California. The town of Edison, a potato town in a nearly developing large-scale potato district. Shows camp for migratory potato pickers across field of potatoes already picked. Shows packing sheds along railroad tracks. 27,250 acres of potatoes were planted in Kern County in 1940. Over 200 families encamped in tents and trailers during this potato season, but not getting much work in the fields because of "locals". By "locals" are meant ex-migratory workers who are now settling in this district in shacktowns and auto camps, etc., and who are living on relief during slack seasons. Last year there was a large squatter camp on this site. This year because of the count ordinance prohibiting squatter camps, the pickers pay $6 per month for the right to pitch their tent and $8 per month for trailer space to a man who has leased the ground as an auto court.
