General Note
Accompanying note: "Labor such as this is back-breaking but this tobacco hand sets the plants as fast as a woman walking before him can drop them to the proper spot. Going at a fast walk, the boy never straightens upright or appears to pause yet as he finishes a row tiny plants seem to spring up behind him."
