"Renters." Itinerant #Texas farmers who rent a farm for a year or so and then move on, giving them nomadic habits and everything is temporary. #House unpainted and ill-cared for. The children from five years old upward pick cotton and help with the farm work, but get little or no schooling. It is estimated by #StateUniversity that 300,000 children are thus affected in #Texas alone. See #Hine report #Texas. Beginning with the five year old girl here who picks some, all work including the women. The nine year old girl picks one hundred and fifty pounds a day. Father is in town. Farm comprises #fiftyacres and they get #abouttwentybales of cotton, this year which is not a good year. Been here one year. #FarmofJ.W.Vaughn. #Route6. Location: #Corsicana, #Texas.

A group of children at #aDistrictSchool in cotton picking season. #PettysChapelDistrictSchool #20, near #Corsicana. Only 40 per cent of the children who attend are here because the cotton is still being picked, in most districts the school term is being shortened to accommodate the picking. The children are above the average of country school children and this is an exceptional school, only two of the ten families represented here being "Renters" see #Hine Report on #Texas). These children are getting 8 months school. Most of the rural schools in #Texas give them 6 months or less. All these children, from the 5 year old up pick cotton. Location: #Corsicana vicinity, #Texas.

Traces of Texas reader William McNutt was so thoughtful as to submit this remarkable 1912 photo of the second Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana. The hotel built above it allowed travelers from around the world to taste the famous fruitcake and take it home.

Thank you, William! Awesome photo!

Els enfrontaments entre els nacionalistes corsos i la policia francesa no s'acaben després de dues setmanes d'incidents. Bombes casolanes i còctels molotov volen enmig dels enfrontaments de Bastia.
