Full title:Most of the work of grading and sorting asparagus in the cannery operated by the Illinois Mushroom Company at Naperville,

Relocation Authority. In this picture the asparagus is passing between rows of workers grading, sorting, and washing it. At
the end of the conveyor belt and in the lower right-hand section of the picture is shown a cutting machine which cuts the
asparagus into the lengths in which it is canned. The seasonal workers employed at the Illinois Mushroom Company are all from
Rohwer Relocation Center in Arkansas. The company also employs a total of 14 men from various relocation centers on a year-round
basis.<lb/> Naperville, Illinois.
