Scope and content
Spraying hop fields. Man seated on tractor pulling spray tank which is emitting chemical sprays. Another tractor and tank are parked along dirt road. James E. & J.W. Feak owned 41 acres planted in hops near Roy. During 1936 -1937, the county was involved in improving and deepening nearby Lacamas Creek. The work was not deep or wide enough, causing the creek to overflow and flood the Feak lands. In 1938, they were seeking $30, 354 in damages to their 41 acres of hops. (T.Times 8/30/38, pg. 1)
