OKLAHOMA CHILDREN SAVE COTTON CROP day of the “cotton vad the school board in an effort to save the cotton crop, 400 Hobart children | picked 20,000 pounds of seed cotton. When figured on a basis of 1500 pounds of seed cotton to a five hun- dred pound bale the value ot the cot- ton is $3,000. The seed is worth $1,- 000. The scale paid for the picking 'was approximately $3 a hundred. The day’s work, therefore, netted the students $600. S. J. Crawford of Davis recalled |. the days when he sold cotton at $3.- 60 a hundred. Today it is worth twelve times that much. In those days the scale for picking was 40 cents a hundred pounds, today it is $3 and more. A photograph tuken at the Throop Orthopedic hospital - in. Brooklyn, N.
