Full title:Norman Tanabe, formerly of Topaz and Marysville, California, Hi Korematsu, formerly of Topaz and Oakland, California, and Peter Omachi, formerly of Topaz and Loomis, California, in front of the corn produced on the $130,000 farm which Hi Korematsu has leased for truck-gardening this year. Instead of corn, Mr. Korematsu will grow potatoes, tomatoes, beets, lettuce and other garden crops on the 800 irrigated acres this spring. He needs additional workers immediately and can provide housing for 12 families. Schools are located conveniently to the farm and Japanese American children are well-liked. The farm has $30,000 worth of equipment, including tractor, trucks, harrows, discs, etc. Mr. Korematsu has been in farming all his life and did so well on the farm last year that a company is financing him this year in truck-gardening. In addition to providing housing, he will pay $125 per month for single men plus room and board; $140 for married men and groceries at wholesale, and for those who stay permanently, he will give a bonus based on the profits at the end of the year. Mr. Korematsu's address is Route No. 1, Shelton, Nebraska.<lb /> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb /> Shelton, Nebraska.
