Youth Farm Jobs Boost Back-To-School Funds
Hundreds of thousands of high school and college youths head back to campus with money earned on farms this summer. The Labor Department notes at least 300,000 found farm jobs via the farm placement service, with earnings in the millions, as youths also labored on family farms and in food plants. Programs aim to relieve harvest-time labor shortages through supervised youth work, including day-haul clubs, camps, and live-in arrangements, with tasks ranging from hoeing to detasseling and harvesting tobacco.

He used refrigeration in a pressure cabin at a naval base to raise blood oxygen 15fold, extending heart function during experiments. Normal anoxia destroys brain tissue in 4 to 5 minutes, but cooling may extend this to about 10 minutes.
