The full caption on the label on the reverse of this print reads: 'Truck being loaded as it goes down the rows. The pickers pick the potatoes from the ground and put them in the sack which is suspended from their waists between their knees - after the machine has dug them from the ground. This work requires endurance but no special skill. 1937 wages - 40¢ an hour. Shafter, California. May, 1937.'
