In March of 1914, in an effort to help reduce New York City's growing unemployment rate, Governor Martin Glynn proposed sending unemployed men from New York City to work on farms in upstate New York. Farmers had been complaining about a shortage of able workers and the state agreed to lend money to the workers for transportation.
