#Sulak family, frugal #Bohemian farmers own an #eightyacre farm near #West. Will raise #twentybales of cotton this year. These are all members of family. The five year old picks cotton some. The seven year old picks #onehundredpounds a day. The nine year old picks about a hundred pounds. The eleven year old #twohundredpounds, thirteen year old two hundred and #fiftypounds. The adults pick three or four hundred a day. Note the care they take of the children and of the home. It was the end of a week and a sort of holiday, but the whole situation shows how much better standard the farm owners keep than do the "renters". See #Hine report. Contrast with this photo some of those of the "renters."). Location: #West, #Texas.
