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.
