Description
Full title:In the yard of their home on the Ritchie fruit farm, Riverton, N.J., Mrs. Umeko Shimomura has started a small vegetable garden. Although it wasn't planted until August, already some of the vegetables have matured and Mrs. Shimomura expects more this fall. Mr. and Mrs. Shimomura and five of their eight children, formerly of the Colorado River Relocation Center, are now living on the farm, where Mr. Shimomura is working, picking, sorting, and packing fruit. When her own housework is done, Mrs. Shimomura helps Mrs. Ritchie in preserving and canning fruit and in return Mrs. Ritchie is assisting Mrs. Shimomura with her English. The children of both families attend nearby schools. Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen Riverton, New Jersey.
