Description:
A boy shows off the height of the vegetation in the field that is to be disked. The mule he stands on is tandem (single-file)
hitched to a harrow disk. The disk cuts the roots to kill unwanted plants and turns over the topsoil to help make the field
ready for planting crops such as wheat or watermelons. Verso: The Simon (or Dimon) Ranch 1905.
