Full title:During the day time Mrs. Grace Suezaki helps her husband, Henry, and the other members of the family in their six acre strawberry patch. In the evenings, she is spending part of her time, at least, drawing plans for the new home which the family plans to build near San Jose. Mrs. Suezaki has some novel ideas on house arrangement which she plans to put in practice as soon as building materials are available, and their strawberries have provided the wherewithal. When the Suezaki family relocated on the Risotto ranch near San Jose from Denver, Santa Clara County strawberry acreage had been reduced during the evacuation from 750 to 30 acres, and strawberries were selling at the ceiling top of $2.40 a crate. Even the young plants set out this spring have paid good returns for their care to date. In the family are Mr. and Mrs. Henry Suezaki, their two sons, Albert and Richard, and Mrs. Kono Ito, mother of Mrs. Suezaki. The family formerly resided in Watsonville, and voluntarily evacuated to Denver. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Campbell, California.
