The Courts were selected to be photographed for a USDA Extension Service filmstrip about self-sufficiency on the farm--grow and preserve your own food to obviate the need for cash. This is a black and white photo.
Photo 15. Dr. Bean cooperated with the film project. Here he is shown writing a prescription for a "patient" in a chair on the front porch. The "patient" was Ethel Joy, the local extension agent. Fred Court waits with two baskets of produce to pay the doctor's fee. Vera Court watches Dr. Bean write his instructions. The dog watches the world go by.
