Title
Topaz, Utah. Because the soil is dead , as the Japanese farmers, now residents at the Topaz Center . . .
Description
  • Scope and content: The full caption for this photograph reads: Topaz, Utah. Because the soil is dead , as the Japanese farmers, now residents at the Topaz Center say, meaning, because of the mineral content there is no bacterial life in the soil, much soil preparation must be done to raise food crops at Topaz. Here a group of farmers are preparing beds by building up 10" bank of soil, overlaying this with about 4" of barnyard fertilizers, and then completing the stack to 20" of soil. The bacterial action of warmth and moisture will make this a rich soil which can then be spread over the fields to raise their bacterial content.
