- Summary:
-
"Migrant Italian tobacco share farmers setting out young plants in the field that have been carefully nurtured under canvas covers to protect them from frost. Later they will have to be protected from weed growth by hand hoeing and then hand dusted with arsenic powder to prevent mould. When nearing maturity the plants were hand sprayed with chemicals now recognised as highly dangerous." -- Description supplied by photographer.
