Description
A large mound of material identified as wheat smolders on the right side of the image. A dozen people, almost all Indian women, stand or sit near the burning wheat. All wear scarves or other headcoverings. Railroad tracks extend from near right into the distance, with two groups of filled burlap bags scattered on and near them. A row of utility poles parallels the tracks, and part of a railroad car is visible at the left.

At the left is a large mound of smoking material identified as wheat. A group of people stand and sit in the background, one man sits in the foreground, and a man squats near the wheat in the middle distance. Three sets of railroad tracks lead from the foreground past the wheat and curve to the left in the distance. A water tower and small cabin stand on the right. Utility poles and lines parallel the tracks on the left. A hill is visible in the distance to the right.
