| Description: | PEEPS THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE WORLD (NO. 44) Opium harvest in Italy In the central provinces of Italy we see various shots of opium being harvested from fields of poppies. We are told that the Government is cultivating the drug for use in medicine to avoid having to import it. A man slices a poppy bulb so that the juice runs out. | |
