1938 Privy Construction in Southeast Missouri Farms

In May 1938, workers construct a privy in Southeast Missouri Farms, New Madrid County. The image shows the backfilling and tamping of earth around the sanitary base and mud sill, reflecting essential agricultural hygiene practices of the time. The project is part of the FSA/OWI Collection, which records rural life and infrastructure development.
