Description
As suggested by Miss Helen Gahagan, Hewes sends a five page report related to agricultural phase of the Japanese evacuation. The attached report discusses in detail the difficulties of relocating Japanese Americans, especially the farmers among them who are involved in valuable agricultural production. To facilitate the job, the Farm Security Administration (FSA) was assigned this task. FSA made sure that the lands owned by the Japanese were continued in production through substitute operators. The report states that Japanese Americans were reluctant to leave their lands but were cooperative nevertheless, "registering their farm holdings with surprising speed." Overall, the report highlights the important phases of evacuation process and the different changes necessitated due to it in the agricultural sector in which the Japanese Americans were involved.
