The image shows a black and white photograph of the "Square Deal Farm" sign, with James M. Herron identified as the proprietor in charge of general farming activities on behalf of his family or estate. The backdrop features an old-fashioned rural farm setting, including weathered wooden fences, dilapidated barns, and various agricultural equipment such as a plow and wagon wheel resting against one building's wall. This photograph is part of Dorothea Lange’s work captured during her tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), documenting American society in times of crisis—specifically agriculture life on U.S. 99 in Benton County, Oregon within the Willamette Valley region. The image conveys a sense of historical rural living and agricultural heritage from mid-20th century America.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an old farm scene. In the foreground, there's a large wooden fence with worn boards suggesting significant age and weathering. The wood appears to be split horizontally into parallel slats forming the gate of what seems like a corral or enclosure. Within this space stands a piece of farming equipment, likely a plow or some form of agricultural machinery.
Behind the fence is an expansive field that extends towards a rustic farm structure with gabled roofing and weathered walls indicative of considerable age. To one side, there's another building possibly used for storage or as part of the farmhouse complex. The architecture suggests rural American farmland from several decades past.
Dominating the left-hand portion of the image is an old-fashioned sign on two vertical posts reading 'SQUARE DEAL FARM' with additional details including names and titles such as "James M. Herron, Prop.", and "General Farmer", implying a sense of pride in farming heritage or business nature. The text appears faded yet legible.
The sky above the farm is clear without any visible clouds, indicating fair weather conditions at the time this photo was taken. There are no people present in the image, giving it an abandoned look that might suggest early morning hours before work begins on such a rural property.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an old-fashioned gas station next to the Monroe Roller Mills, which appears as "A Wilhelm & Sons" mill. The scene looks like it could be from mid-20th century America given its style of architecture, vehicles visible at the pump area, and overall aesthetic. There's no explicit information about this particular location being in Oregon or Benton County within a provided caption that I can discern without additional context. This photograph appears to show an industrial site with historical significance due to the presence of milling mills which were often key parts of rural economies during earlier decades before roads improved transport, making them hubs for local commerce and community gatherings as implied by the accompanying text on the image.
Oregon, Monroe, Benton County. The Wilhelm mill closed ten years ago and service station "used to be quite a trading center around here until they had good roads."
