...market for sale or reshipment to the provinces. But the reform has been put off because of the cost of prosecuting the Algerian war. Last week embattled artichoke growers at St.-Pol-de-Leon dumped 800 tons of artichokes into a quarry and doused them with diesel oil in protest at the fall of the farm price of artichokes from 23? to ½? a lb-while French retailers were charging as much...
