A very similar picture in front of this billboard from the same event was published in The Woman Citizen (Official Organ of the National American Woman Suffrage Association) for August 25, 1917 with the caption: MODEL WAR GARDEN OF BRONX SUFFRAGISTS Left to right Miss Rene Glogau, Chairman of the Agricultural Committee of the NY City W.S.P., Miss Helena Ries, Mrs J.N.

swanq and Art Siegel: Thank you for making the connections so we can identify some of these women.

collection.maas.museum/object/321716 - the PHM also have a print of this pic... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163991150/16811180 - a photoshopped/composite version of this pic appeared in the Sydney Mail on 2nd March, 1904...in a pictorial feature article on farming in the Narromine district of Central Western NSW (see pic at bottom of 1st page of link)... The pic that appeared in the Sydney Mail, appears to be a composite, incorporating a second photo taken at a slightly earlier/late stage...as you can see, in the Sydney Mail pic, the chap on horseback has been photoshopped out...in the Sydney Mail pic he appears in the mid distance near the teams on the right...in addition, in the Sydney Mail pic the teams on the right don't quite match...they're in slightly different positions, etc... The Sydney Mail's caption: 'Ploughs at work at C. Rice's Narwonah. During the season Mr. Rice will use 12 of T. Robinson and Co.'s ploughs.' It's unclear when this pic was taken...one of the other pics in the Sydney Mail's feature article was evidently taken at the end of the 1903 harvest...my guess is these ploughing pics might have been taken on a later occasion... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/75311984 - the Dubbo Liberal, 8th July, 1911 - per this item, Charles Rice evidently sold Narwonah in 1911...he'd evidently been there some 25 years... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/144596730 - Wagga Daily Advertiser, 13th March, 1936...this brief obit for Charles Rice gives some bio details...I suspect Charles Rice might be the chap on horseback seen in the PHM pic... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17341381 - SMH, 10th March, 1936...brief obit here also...

Hmm, if these are the YOUNG farmers...
