Accompanying note: "As recently as the 1940s the crop was considered so vital that schools in strawberry-producing areas operated on a different schedule from that of regular schools, so that children could [be] at home to help cultivate and pick the berries. The 'strawberry' schools were in session from Spring until about Christmas."
