A corn crop grows on the Lamb-Fish Lumber Company's plantation near Charleston, Mississippi, a reminder that timber firms in the South sometimes turned cleared land to farming. Many lumber operations held large tracts and worked them as plantations, using hired or tenant labor to raise crops once the timber was cut. The caption card gives no date, so the picture is best read as a view of that kind of mixed land use rather than a record of a specific event. Corn was a staple across the region, and fields like this one show how central it remained to rural Mississippi life.
