"The Good Old Days"

[tops]

When I was a young teenager I worked for farmer for $3.00 a day. He picked me up at sunup and brought me home at sundown. He did feed me dinner at midday.

I was about 14-15 I helped a farmer thresh wheat for 2 evenings. From 4 o'clock till dark. I was in the loft with his grown son and I threw down a bundle every time his son did. When we finished he asked how much he owed me and I said whatever you think I was worth. He gave me 25 cents. I went out of the wheat threshing business. Larry
