1946 Press Photo New York young farmers participate in husking bee NYC

Young farmers, whose summer was spent in growing vegetables in butter tubs on the roof of the Children's Aid Society's West Side Center, participate in the husking bee that highlights the Society's Annual Harvest Festival. Although their corn crop was ruined by successive spells of dry and wet weather, the little farmers enjoyed a husking bee when the Society sent and SOS for corn to its farm in New Hamburg, N.Y.
