A group portrait of five men and two boys working on a hops farm near Forest Grove, Oregon, possibly in the Hillside neighborhood. This image probably dates from 1910-1914. The men, who are all wearing work clothes and hats, hold hoes in front of them. One man holds a pipe in his mouth. The hops vines around them hang from strings supported by tall poles. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
