Auction of a farm in the United States, 1936
In the town of Spotsylvania, Virginia, land is auctioned. The Great Depression brought the farmers in the U.S. a slump in sales, and associated with the overproduction, a rapid decline in prices that led to over-indebtedness of many farms. In the State of Virginia, more than a quarter of the estate is pledged for tax and personal debt
