Three adults and six children from seven years to twelve years hard at work on a sugar beet farm near Greeley Colorado. The father said: The children can thin the beets better than grown ups. We all work fourteen hours a day at times because when the beets is ready they has to be done. About twelve weeks is about all the children can work on thinning and topping. Some of them hoe a little. See Hine Report, Colorado Bee[t] Workers, July, 1915.
