5,000 Ouf-Of Am Workers In Slate INDIANAPOLIS (UTO — The Indiana Employment Security Division reported today that nearly 5,000 out-of-area workers were on duty last week as Hoosier farm laborers, and 1,000 more will be needed within two weeks. The reason for the heavy Influx was the arrival of the tomato harvest season. Tomatoes are ripening by the tons from one end of Indiana to the other, and processing plants either already are busy or will be shortly handling a bumper crop. The state labor summary, given in the weekly farm labor bulletin of the IESD, said: "Can use 90 pickle pickers. A thousand more tomato pickers will be needed within two weeks. The flow of migrant workers into Indiana has started. Labor shortage continues to develop. This week’s influx of migrants will give an indication of the percentage that will keep their Indiana commitments.** The situation by areas: Logansport — Short 25 pickle pickers and 35 tomato pickers. All crops in good condition. South Bend — Twenty - five pickle pickers needed. Crops are one to two weeks in advance of calculations. Overlapping of fruit and vegetable harvest causing labor shortage. Fruit and vegetable production this season should he exceptionally high. Lafayette — Tomato picking started Aug. 3, the pack started Aug. 4. An average yield of 14 tons per acre is expected. Corn detasseling ended Aug. 5. Swept corn processing started this wedk. Anderson — Need 112 workers for lima bean harvest and tomato picking within two weeks. Workers coming from Michigan cherry harvest have filled immediate need. Tomatoes excellent Fort Wayne — Small crews will be needed to live at farms where tomatoes are grown. Will need 375 workers by next weekend. Picking should be in full swing at that time. Many crews are on commitments to arrive by then. Indianapolis — Tomato pros • pects still very good. Some growers are expecting 12 to 15 tons per acre. Very little disease in fields at this time. Will need 90 more workers within two weeks. Sweet corn processing starting this week. Kokomo — Need 190 workers. Weather continues excellent with bumper crop. Some crews rest - less and jumping from grower to grower. Marion — Tempo of tomato picking increasing. Expect all plants in the area to be processing by Aug. 12. Last year at this time there was no picking. Muncie — Labor in balance at moment but will need more than 300 more tomato pickers by next weekend. Tomato crop best in years. Vines have fallen due to 15 to 20 pounds of fruit per plant. New Castle — Tbmato picking and processing will increase rapidly this week. Evansville — Corn detasseling will end by midweek. Columbus — Packers agree that corn is best in years. Some reports of six-ton per acre yield but 314 to 4 tons is average. Connersville — Crop outlook still good. One tomato plant plans to process this week, another will start next week. Vincennes — Increased activity in harvesting watermelons and cantaloupes. More than 40,000 watermelons were shipped daily to New York City and Canada. Heavy rains caused cantaloupes to crack, resulting in several culls.
