Works Project Administration. The general idea was that maybe we could solve this Depression thing with its rampant unemployment by giving people jobs.

<score for "Plow">

etaoin: Virgil Thomson wrote the music for "Plow" and "River", and also for Robert Flaherty's "Louisiana story". The music has been issued occasionally on CD.
