Title: Agricultural Advisors In Sonsonate, El Salvador
Date: 1983-10-07
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: Three agricultural advisers stand in a sugar cane field on the cooperative El Sunza in Sonsonate, El Salvador, October 7, 1983. The Salvadoran political elite viewed labor unions and land reform advocates as subversive enemies of the state and considered its leaders to be as dangerous as the guerrilla insurgency. El Salvador is a country burdened with one of the most rigid class structures in all of Latin America. Resistance to labor unions and land redistribution can be attributed to the economic oligarchy's overwhelming influence in the political and military spheres.

Title: Artesian Water
Date: 1969
Creator: Rude, Ronald
Description: Artesian water has made the Terai Nepal’s bread basket. The constant availability of water allows for growing wheat during the dry season. Here we see water bubbling out of a patch of sand on its own. These wet patches were not that common but by simply driving a pipe a few feet into the ground water would flow. It was always cool and clean and the runoff was captured in nearby pools which were great for fish cultivation.
