Mother and children hulling strawberries

Caption

Mother and children hulling strawberries at Johnson's Hulling Station in Seaford, Delaware. The baby is 2 years old and already works steadily hulling berries. This was not typical and while it was found in this investigation that children of below 5 years were accustomed to start out before sunrise to pick berries, there were not many cases such as this.
