Book excerpt: Excerpt from Work of Children on Illinois Farms Agriculture, p. 818) the group designated 'miscellaneous vegetables' is made up chiefly of those vege tables which would be classified as truck crops in case a distinction were made between truck crops and 1 arm crops or field crops. The grouping is not altogether satisfactory, since it includes sweet corn, for example, which is grown in many cases strictly as a field crop, and excludes early potatoes, which are fre quently grown With all the special care and attention characteristic of a truck crop. The limitations of the census inquiry made it necessary, however, to classify the whole of a crop either with the field crops or With the vegetables. In the present report the term truck crops is used in substantially the same sense as in the census reports (but see lines 33-36, p. In previous studies of children's work on truck farms made by the Children's Bureau (see footnote 1, p. 1) work on potatoes and small fruits was included; but in Cook County small fruits are not grown to any extent, sweet potatoes and yams are not grown at all, and no children found working in the areas selected for study had worked on white potatoes.
