Clearing Brush
Smoke is rising from piles of burning brush and stumps along a country road. Two men are walking near another pile of brush in the foreground on the right. A sign on that pile reads: "USA WORK WPA." There is a truck parked along the road in the background. A description on the reverse of the photograph states: "Roadside cleanup work carried on by WPA crews in Willard. Clearing away of brush, slash, and other highly inflammable material along roadsides does much to prevent fires from starting and gaining headway." |
