Title:

Jimmy Yamamoto, a former Heart Mountainite, and a pioneer of relocation in Santa Clara County, does not believe in putting all of his eggs in one basket. As an alternate crop to his bush berries, Jimmy is growing tomatoes for market on his Cupertino ranch. He is shown here cultivating young tomato plants. Relocation is complete for the Yamamotos of Cupertino. With Jimmy are his wife, Chiyeno, his daughters, Linda and June, and his father-in-law, Jisaburo Tomiyasu. Situated nearby are Bill Yamamoto, Jimmy's brother, his sister, Ai, and his 77 year old mother, Toyono. Not far away in Mountain View is Mrs. Takeo Shikamura and family. She is a sister to Jimmy and Bill. Jimmy is now dividing his time between his ranch, where he grows black berries, raspberries, logan berries, and boysenberries, and his fertilizer business. He reembarked on this venture only recently. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru -- Cupertino, California. 7/11/45
