The image is a black and white photograph depicting a man sitting on the ground in front of a wooden structure, which appears to be part of a farm building. The man looks contemplative as he holds something small between his fingers with both hands. He wears rolled-up sleeves, has stubble on his face, and sports a disheveled hairstyle. His clothing consists of what seems like overalls or work clothes, indicating that he may have been working prior to the moment captured in this photograph. In front of him is a straw hat lying on the ground, suggesting it might be hot outside. The wooden structure behind him appears weathered and shows signs of wear, which could imply rural living conditions during difficult times for farmers or workers. There's also some handwritten text visible next to the image that reads "Native Texan farmer on relief," indicating that this photograph was taken in Texas at a time when agricultural laborers were likely struggling economically. The overall atmosphere conveyed by the photo suggests hardship and introspection, as well as highlighting the struggles of rural American families during challenging times.

    Native Texan farmer on relief. Goodliet, Hardeman County, Texas. "Tractored out" in late 1937. Now living in town, and on the verge of relief. Wife and two children. "Well, I know I've got to make a move but I don't know where to. I can stay off relief until the first of the year. After that I don't know. I've eat up two cows and a pair of horses this past year. Neither drink nor gamble, so I must have eat'n 'em up. I've got left two horses and two cows and some farm tools. Owe a grocery bill. If had gradutated land tax on big farms, that would put the little man back again. One man had six renters last year. Kept one. Of the five, one went to Oklahoma, one got a farm south of town and three got no place. They're on WPA (Works Progress Administration). Another man put fifteen families off this year. Another had twenty-eight renters and now has two. In the Progressive Farmer it said that relief had spoiled the renters so they had to get tractors. But them men that's doing the talking for the community is the big landowners. They got money to go to Washington. That's what keeps us from writing. A letter I would write would sound silly up there."
