Description
Photograph of a tractor harrowing an orange orchard in Puente Hills, ca.1930. A man in a lightly-colored hat sits on the tractor on the left with his back facing the foreground. The tractor drags a rotating, metal device behind it as it drives between two opposing walls of orange groves. Bright oranges hang from the backdrop of dark leaves that the orchard provides on either side.
