Full title:Five Issei asparagus cutters on seasonal leave from Rohwer Relocation Center in Arkansas are shown at work in the
fields of the Ed B. Phillips farm near Aurora, Illinois. These men are all part of a group of 60 seasonal workers under contract
with the Illinois Mushroom Company, Naperville, Illinois, to cut asparagus on farms near Naperville. Ed B. Phillips describes
these workers as cheerful and willing. He also says, Because of the shortage of help this year, it would have been difficult
for me to harvest these crops if these men had not been available. Some of them are remarkably apt and seem to be able to
do almost any part of the work, driving trucks, running cultivators, tractors, etc.<lb/> Naperville, Illinois.
