Description
Photograph of a Caterpillar two-ton pulling a Killefer disk harrowing in an orange grove in Olive, ca.1930. The tractor leaves grooves in the soil as it drags the metal disk from the foreground on the left into the distance at center. The driver wears a hat and suspenders and faces the background as he drives through the center of two opposing lanes of orange groves. The small, round oranges stand out against the dark leaves of the trees.
