Full title:Japanese farm home, showing typical tomato plant beds. 653 Japanese were evacuated from this valley on the morning after this photograph was made. The good condition in which this place was left, with plants ready for the next occupants to take over, is characteristic. The Hamachi family owned this house and leased 22 acres of land, on which they raised tomato plants and apricots. They have sold the house to a Portuguese family and assigned the land leased to them. The Japanese family raised seven children here, the eldest about 19, the youngest 4. Photographer: Lange, Dorothea Centerville, California.
