Two girls, Rose Oquoto, 6, and Flora Oquoto, 7, are picking cranberries at Theodore Budd's bog at Turkeytown, near Pemberton, New Jersey, on September 27, 1910. The caption says the family lived on Kimball Street in Philadelphia and that it was the fourth week of school back home, with two more weeks of picking still ahead. The photograph was witnessed by E. F. Brown and reflects the child labor investigations of the period, when reformers documented how harvest work on New Jersey's bogs kept young children out of the classroom.
