Full title:Katsuzo Uchiyama, 55-year-old former San Jose fruit grower, is proud of his two sons in the Army overseas, of his family in general and of his vegetables, wrested from the soil to add to the Nation's war effort. He is shown here with a freshly pulled turnip taken from the ground on the 43-acre vegetable farm where the Uchiyamas--50 strong--led by Uncle Sam Uchiyama--are relocated from Poston and Gila Centers. Katsuzo and Sumi, his wife, have five children with them--Alice, James, Charles, William and Kasumi. Two older sons--Kazuo and Alvin--are in the armed forces on the European continent. Katsuzo and his brother, Sam Isamu, are growing tomatoes, carrots, turnips, celery, and other garden sass on a share crop basis. Thus far, they have had no trouble in buying supplies or in marketing their produce. Crops are good--prices are high and public reception is all that could be asked around Mountain View, Katsuzo said. And then he added: We have housing and we are all home again. What more could we ask?<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Mountain View, California.
