Chemically Treating Fish Ponds to Control Vegetation at Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery, 1949

A large tuck of 1940's vintage, with pumping equipment on the flatbed. One man stands on the right, at the back of the truck (the truck is parked so that the side is facing the camera), and is spraying liquid from a hose that is attached to the equipment on the truck; he is spraying it in to a channel of water in the foreground. Another man is standing on the flatbed, checking the motor of the equipment. A third man is standing on the running board of cab of the truck.
