I forgot picking up corn like that. One of the few jobs at home on the farm we got money for. 25 cents it was for us also. The only other paying job I remember at home was clipping cows flanks and udders in the fall/early winter. Milk inspector required it. 50 cents a cow. Not a fun job...
I picked cherries by the lug and drop apples by the tote. 25 cents a bushel. I could make 5$ an hour for 3 hours, then my back said no more. Always was going to make $20 but by the time I got to 15 could do no more. Still good money in the mid 60's. Money was not easy to come by.
