Women harvest turnips at a community garden in Los Angeles county, circa February 1934.

Description:
Women on government assistance harvest turnips at a community garden. Beginning in 1933, small tracts of land throughout Los Angeles county were used by the government as locations for community gardens, where men left unemployed by the Great Depression could work and grow food to feed their families. In 1933, 890 acres of land in Los Angeles County were used toward this purpose; the program expanded to 2,500 acres of land in 1934. This land was approximately enough to grow the vegetables consumed by 20,000 county welfare families.

Women cooking tortillas and other food at a relief camp after the flood resulting from the Saint Francis Dam failure, Santa Clara River Valley (Calif.), 1928

It is considered the worst American civil engineering failure in the 20th century.
