Children picking potatoes on a large farm near Caribou, Maine.
I was picking in the Madawaska area when I was 10 years old. 1961 +/-
I remember .18 cents a barrel. Sure taught kids how to work.

One of our $ making ways was to pick cherries right along with the Mexican troops.

Metal pails and 3-legged ladders. We were paid $.50 per lug which was about 3 pails.
