Full title:Jimmy Nakatsu, son of Mr. and Mrs. Itaru Nakatsu, recent relocatees from Gila Center, is one of the younger hands
on the vegetable farm of his uncle, Sam Isamu Uchiyama, adjoining the town limits of Mountain View, California. Jimmy and
his two brothers, Herbert and Kenneth, and his sister, Naomi, have discovered there is a lot of work to growing vegetables
for the nation's food basket and that a great deal of it can be done by smart and ambitious youngsters. Uncle Sam is more
than a nickname for a tall man with chin whiskers and wide striped pants to Jimmy. To him uncle Sam is his vegetable-growing
real uncle who established the business a few months back, built houses, repaired others and brought out of Gila and Poston
Center 50 people--all relatives--to grow food. While Jimmy and the other youngsters are busy with their jobs this harvesting
season, he still finds time for baseball--there are almost two full teams in the four families relocated together--and an
occasional picture show.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Mountain View, California.
