FOOD SHORTAGE
REPORTED VERY SERIOUS IN ITALY FARMERS REFUSE TO SELL. EXCEPT. IN BLACK MARKET. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 8.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, June 5.

The crisis seems to be country-wide, however, as farmers refuse to sell their products except in the black market, where prices arc skyrocketing.
