ITALIAN ORPHANS PRUNING VINES ACCORDING TO THE METHODS OF 
THEIR FOREFATHERS 
These boys from one of the agricultural colonies directed by the Junior Red Cross in Italy are 
trimming the vines according to the rules followed by former generations. They are twining the 
young vines over an elaborate scaffolding of twigs on the ash and poplar trees until the vines can 
climb by themselves. Photograph from the American Red Cross. (Fig. 17.)
