Full title:Jim Shinobu Tani, evacuee employee, H. J. Omayi, co-owner, Sam Hayashi, employee, and S. Butsuyen, co-owner, are
pictured on the Maryfield Plantation, a farm located in the coastal area of Georgia. This farm consists of 1000 acres with
350 acres under cultivation. It was purchased by Mr. Butsuyen seven years ago and he states that he has made a success and
is well satisfied. He has found the community residents friendly and neighborly. About February 15, 200 acres of iceberg lettuce
will be ready to harvest. The majority of this crop is shipped to eastern markets, and brings about $4.65 per crate. The average
yield per acre is 150 crates. Jim Tani, the evacuee, relocated from Minidoka. His former home was Oakland, California, where
he was employed in a fruit market. In addition to his salary, Jim receives maintenance for himself and his family. His dwelling
too is furnished by his employer.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> White Oak, Georgia.
