12 year old Lahnert boy, near Ft. Collins, Colo., topping beets. The father, mother, and two boys (9 and 12 yrs.) expect to make $700 in about 2 months time in the beet work. "The boys can keep up with me all right, and all day long," the father said. Begin at 6 and work until 6 with hour off at noon. Several smaller children not work. See Hine Report for studies of amount of work done by these and other children.
