EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the resilience and determination of a young farm boy from Macon County, Georgia, during the Great Depression. Dated July 1937, the image shows the boy, dressed in overalls and a brimmed hat, carefully filling a sack with boll weevils that he has picked off of his cotton plants. The boll weevil, a small beetle, had infested cotton fields across the southern United States, causing widespread devastation and economic hardship for farmers. Despite the challenges posed by the pests, the farm boy remains focused, his expression a mix of determination and exhaustion. The sack at his feet, already bulging with the tiny insects, is a testament to the hours of backbreaking labor he has put in to save his crop. The scene is set against the backdrop of a sun-scorched cotton field, the parched earth a stark reminder of the drought and economic struggles that were common during this period. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural America during the Depression era, a time when farmers faced numerous challenges and had to adapt to survive. It is a powerful reminder of the ingenuity, perseverance, and resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
