Description
Photograph of people pulling onions from the seed bed and preparing them for planting in the onion field at Petit Ranch, San Fernando Valley, near Van Nuys, February 3, 1930. A group of several people can be seen kneeling by rows of onions. A man in the left foreground is visible pulling some from the ground, while a woman behind him kneels and looks down. Several other people mill around the area, including a man in a dark hat, at center who sits beside a box of onions at left. In the distance, several other people can be seen walking around the field engaging in different activities. A row of tall trees stands by a roofed structure in the background, and mountains can be seen father down.
