Many of these are homeless, many are orphans or do not know where their parents are. Others come from homes where the last crust of bread has been eaten and there Is small prospect of more food unless it is contributed. These boys would work If there was work to be had but they are unable to earn money when there are mil lions of unemployed. Added to the nourishing food these shelters provide baths and facilities for washing and mending clothes. The boys are provided with recreational facilities. They help in keeping the place clean and are proud to be allowed to wash dishes and do other "chores” to make it easier for the devoted volunteers who manage the shelters. Like Italian men and women these boys want work. To provide food for these "war waits” American Relief for Italy Is making an appeal to the generosity of the American people at this time.

Largely because of freezes in early February, winter truck crop produc tion is expected to be about 12 per cent smaller than a year ago, but 15 per cent above the ten-year average. The department said the total acre age of spring crop vegetables is ex pected to be as much as nine per cent below that of last spring, but 10 per cent above the ten-year aver age. Egg production in February was four per cent less than in February, 1946, but only because the number of layers was six per cent smaller.
