This is an original 1933 halftone print of a farmer's field. The caption writes, "Such cloven fields bear witness to the peculiar problems of beet raising. Left: corn, planted because beets can unsex the most teeming earth. So crops must be rotated for curly top blights the leaves and vampirish little nematodes nurse at the sweet roots of beets when they are grown for too long in the same soil..."

Photography by Arthur Gerlach. Gerlach worked with Fortune Magazine for several years in the 1930s and '40s. He was known for his still-life images which usually encompassed two full-color pages. The Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois has a collection of his artwork.
