<ul><li><b>Scope and content:</b>  The full caption for this photograph reads: Near Mission San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. Family labor in strawberry field at opening of 1942 season. Evacuation due in a few days. "For many years approximately 95% of California's strawberry crop has been produced by Japanese and this state has become third in the nation in the production of this crop. Evacuation of Japanese has left, in Santa Clara County alone, 50 unoccupied strawberry farms, crop value around $100,000 annually. In this state the Japanese cropped approximately 11,000 acres." --San Francisco Chronicle, April 17, 1942. The workers in the field are members of or related to the family who operates the farm.
