That's unfortunate, I find the blackholed photo much better in every single way than the wide shot. I guess that tells us more about the specific editor, the audience and context, or maybe just the stylistic choices of the day.

Interesting that it appears the cranberries are being harvested in dry fields. I always assumed that flooding was an old harvesting technique.

Looks like they used both ways to harvest cranberries.

Gathering cranberries in a flooded bog (not sure what a bog is): https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017723887/resource/
For example, here's the allegedly "censored" picture of a young woman carrying cranberries: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017723882/resource/
And here's the very next photo on the film, without a hole punch: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/fsa.8a10082/
The only thing this tells us is that the editor preferred the wide angle shot.
