Description:
Original caption reads: "There's a feminine hand at the controls of many of Americas' activities these days. Like many other farm wives whose husbands are engaged in war work, Mrs. William Wood manages a 120-acre farm in Coloma, Mich., with little male assitance. With a crop of corn, tomatoes and raspberries to harvest, she still finds time to care for her own Victory garden and to attend a first-aid class. And for the scrap drive, Mrs. Wood salvaged 1,500 pounds of outworn metal and rubber articles from the farm, and contributed them to her local collection agency."
