Two men stand at a potato grading table positioned in the foreground just outside the open door of a spud cellar. Farmer Clyde Sherman, left, is dumping a bucketful of potatoes onto the raised end of the table. (The bucket is fashioned from a rectangular five gallon "Blazo" fuel can with the top end removed and fitted with a heavy wire handle.) Ross Sheeley, Matanuska Colony Manager, is standing on the far side of the table and reaching across the potato-covered table to inspect an individual tuber. Mr. Sherman's name is inked on the photo appearing to incorrectly refer to Mr. Sheeley.
