crops have to be gathered to save
them from ruin. It was made plain
that hundreds of women leave Provi,
dence each morning in the summer
and walk or ride out into the country
seven or more miles, work in the high
ly cultivated fields all day and then
walk or ride home at night These
are mostly Italian women. Hundreds
Of the best producing farms of Rhode
Island are owned and worked by ItaI-
lans. That is also true over a large
part Of Connecticut, and especia,Iy
about the larger cities, where they
can get their produce to the markets
by short drives. One of the men said
he has customer in the market
business in a Connecticut city who
+ declares that for 10 years he has not
bought per cent of his goods from
the farms of native Americans, and
not more than another per cent,
from the handlers of garden truck
from the West or South, and that
marketman does tremendous busi-
ness. He buys of Italians and Po-
landers who are working farms about
this city. They keep right up to the
times and their vegetables are always
fresh and right for the table. They
produce more varieties than the old
time farmers did. In some cases wo.
