Description
Photograph of workers spraying citrus trees for pests, 1937. A lightly-colored, cylindrical tank lies in the soil at center with the words "Western Pest Control Service, Whittier Calif." printed on its side. A small platform at the top of a pole stands on the left side of the tank with a man in coveralls and a hat spraying the orange trees on the left. Trees in the foreground on the right obstruct the view of the second worker who sprays the lower trees from the ground.
