Tomato Crop Periled By No Pickers INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Some growers have hiked tomato picker pay in an effort to get their bumper crop harvested. The weekly summary on farm labor by the Indiana Employment Security Division reported today that by next weekend the shortage of tomato pickers will have reached at least 800. Hie shortage is spotted, with some reporting heavy shortages, and other areas, none. > ‘ln several areas the straight picking rate has advanced to 9cents per hamper plus 2-cents bonus at the end of the season, with housing furnished,” the report said. In some areas housewives, school teachers, students, retired persons and city workers on vacation have augmented the picking force, particularly in the peachpacking sheds of the Vincennes area. The report shows 7,001 out-of-area workers employed now, many of whom are Texas-Mexi-cans. Localized reports follow: Pickers Needed Logansport — Need 25 pickle pickers and 25 tomato pickers. South Bend—Ten acres of fresh cucumbers had to be abandoned last week because of a shortage of workers. Pickles are being picked off large. Labor shortages have made it difficult to control the grade. Tomatoes are ripening rapidly. Processing starting this week. Large yields expected.

Lafayette—Sweet corn pack now on steady operation. Quality good, average yield two tons per acre. Tomato operations in full gear, quality good. Anderson —Expect labor shortages to increase when school starts in September. Heavier tomato picking started, all processors running steady. Fort Wayne—Cold nights have held back ripening of tomatoes. Several crews have not arrived. ' Employers holding fields for ’ them. Indianapolis—Can use up to 150 tomato pickers. Sweet corn processing started with yield and quality above average. With an eye toward the cloudy sky, Mrs. Mabel Schmitt said today that if the rains are restrained, the canning season at the Decatur Canning Co. will swing into full operation the early part of next week. Aware that other areas are suffering from a shortage of workers, Mrs. Schmitt said that the local plant is not contemplating an urgent call for additional personnel, because the labor force is adequate now, and for future full swing operations. About 55-60 workers are employed in the fields as pickers, and more will be added as production increases. Mrs. Schmitt added that current production has been curtailed about 10 days because of the i recent rains. She further said I that this is in no way construed to be a loss, because she favors a late crop. “A late crop usually indicates a better ■ product,” she said. Operation at the local plant has been intermittent as the season slowly moves toward full production. Expectations of good weather, however, will 1 put the plant on full production, possibly next week. Peak Coming Kokomo—Peak harvest of to- ; matoes within 10 days. Sweet corn harvest starting. Marion—Tomato prospects still looking good. Picking tempo should be in full swing by midweek. More than 25 times as many pickers working now compared to the same date last year. Muncie—best tomato crop in Kokomo—Peak harvest of tomatoes within 10 days. Sweet corn harvest starting. Marion—Tomato prospects still looking good. Picking tempo should be in full swing by midweek. More than 25 times as many pickers working now compared to the same date last year. Muncie—best tomato crop in many years. Current picker shortages being filled on a day to day basis. New Castle—Tomatoes ripening fast, quality good, labor supply adequate. Columbus—Over 1,800 workers picking and processing corn and tomatoes. No labor shortages. Connersville—Sweet corn and tomato processing in progress. Labor in balance.

r 'i TA Wpfcwr JF; 11 KILLED— Here is part of the wreckage eight miles east of Columbia, Mo., after a three-car collision which killed 11 persons. Some of the shrouded bodies lie in the foreground.

Vincennes—Peak reached in watermelon and cantaloupe harvest. Elberta and red skin peach crop good, averaging about 3,000 bushels daily. Peak next week. Labor supply sufficient for present.
