Richard Fujii, who came to Illinois from the Granada Relocation Center, is shown helping a neighbor, Fred Stangl, harvest corn near Bartlett, Illinois. Mr. Fujii was regularly employed throughout the last season by the Midwestern Farm Company, owned by three resettlers. This company raised 100 acres of truck crops on three pieces of farmland near Bartlett, Lombard, and Melrose Park, Illinois. 12 resettlers were employed on the farms throughout the season and sometimes as many as 20 extra workers to assist at the peak of the harvest. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru -- Melrose Park, Illinois. 9/?/44
