Vegetable Survey Begun

Washington, Aug. IS (UP)-A special survey of vegetable crops most susceptible to profiteering un- der present drought conditions has | been begun by the agriculture dc partment.
 Except for Vice Chairman James C. Stone Of the federal farm board, who questioned the justification of the increase in bran prices, officials have not yet alleged profteering in either feed or foodstuffs.
 However, federal agencies will be ready to cope with the profteering conditions if they arise. All avail able information on crop and price conditions will be placed before the conference Of governors called to meet at the White House Thursday. Figures indicated today the drought loss was three-quarters of billion dollars for corn, flax and potatoes up to July 31 based on cur rent prices with indications the loss might reach a billion dollars. Agri- culture experts point out, however, these calculations are based upon present prices which would be much lower except for the drought.
 May Fight With Publicity
 If fight had to be waged against protteers. the governments weapon ould be publicity the United Press was informed. No authority exists for control Of prices But it is felt that actual statements of conditions could control prices 10 great ex- tent and prevent gouging the con- sumer and improper profits to dealers.
 Twice recently the farm board has protested high retail prices. Citing the decreasing wholesale meat prices, the board suggested the re- auctions should be apparent in re- tail prices. Similarly calling atten- tlon to the slumping wheat market of several weeks ago. the board asked for cheaper bread.
 Only Middlemen Profit
 Next 10 the consumer. the pro- ducer suffers most from profiteering it is pointed out. High prices re- duce consumption and slacken movement of farm produce. Under these circumstances, the board in the case of meat and bread felt a direct concern in what the con- sumcr was paying.
 Butter prices are conceded to be due for further increases and the weather may bring slight increase for eggs. But poultry and egg prices have been rather weak for some time and moderate increase would fall short of putting dealers into the profitoering class.
 Meats should be plentiful and cheap throughout the year. Late vegetables have been hit hard and are suffering more every day the drought continues and this easily could increase the seasonal price in creases noted at this time of year without profteering tactics.
