The cartoon pictures a distraught-looking "Up-State Farmer," seated on a crate, with his hands between his legs, with his back to his potential laborer. Lying on the ground beside him is a smoking pipe and a paper marked "Contract." Seated in a chair with his back to the farmer is a man representing "New York City's Unemployed." He is dressed in a pinstripe suit and fedora and smokes a cigarette.
Inscribed in balloon above the farmer: He want's a month, aint [sic] never seen a cow, 'nd don't know a pitchfork from a bale o' hay.
Inscribed in balloon above the New Yorker: Th' old guy wants me to hev my 'Blinkers' open at five in th' mornin. They aint no 'movie' show within 7,000 blocks, 'nd he don't know a 'pair' from a 'royal flush' not fur me Lizzie.

In March of 1914, in an effort to help reduce New York City's growing unemployment rate, Governor Martin Glynn proposed sending unemployed men from New York City to work on farms in upstate New York. Farmers had been complaining about a shortage of able workers and the state agreed to lend money to the workers for transportation.
