Large Increases Charged.
The addition of these packaging
charges, the indictment contended,
had the effect of increasing bulk
prices charged by millers by more
than 100 per cent in some sizes.
The indictment charged that as a
result of this alleged conspiracy
the defendants fixed and main
tanned arbitrary and non -competi-
tive selling prices for packaged -four
and prevented the formation of
selling prices by the free and COM
petitive determination of indi-
yidual millerS.

Wickard Seekino
Means 10 Increase
Food Production
incentive Plan Is Killed;
Reports on Crops Show
Prospects Below GooIs

BY the Associated Press.
With production prospects con-
siderably short of wartime require
ments, Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard sought a substitute today
for his stymied $100O00,000 incen-
tive payment program
The program, designed to pay
farmers bonuses for producing more
dry beans and peas, sweet potatoes
and peanuts for vegetable oil was
blocked when a House Appropria-
tlonS Subcommittee refused TO ap-
prove funds for it.
The Federal Crop Reporting
Boards recent planting survey in
dlcated l943 production of dry beans
and peas, important protein substi-
tutes for short meat supplies, would
fall far below military, lease-lend
and civilian requirements.
Proposals Below Goals.
The dry bean goal had been set at
25,542 600 l00-pound bags. The in
dlcated acreage will yield only 49,
278.O0O bags at average returns. The
dry pea goal was 6.627000 bags, or
about 625000 bags above the indi-
Gated production.
Under the incentive payment
plan, the Agriculture Department
would have paid farmers $40 an
acre for dry beans and SIS for peas
planted in excess of 80 per cent of
their individual goal, up TO 115 per
cent of the goal.
Mr.. Wickard was said by aides to
believe it would be possible TO get
much larger acreage of beans and
peas If farmers were offered a
slightly larger return. Such an
offer would have to be made soon.
before planting time arrives, they
said
One method would be to increase
the Governments price support
level. Grower prices of beans are
being supported at the Office of
Price Administration ceiling. which
is $3.50 a bag for No. ! grade. An
attempt may be made to get the
OPA to agree to an increase.
Failing in this, the Agricultural
Department Itself might agree to
buy the beans at prices above the
ceiling and sell them to distributors
at prices which would enable them
TO sell under OPA ceilings The loss
would be borne by the Commodity
Credit Corp. White House approval
of such a program would be neces-
sary.
Concern Over Peanuts.
The indicated acreage for peanuts
was said to be giving Mr.. Wickard
considerable concern. Peanuts are
being depended on as a source of
vegetable oil for shortening and
other food fats. The crop board
forecast paintings of only 4.270,000
acres for food purposes. The goal
was 5,500,000 acres.
AS in the case of beans Mr.. Wick
ard had proposed an incentive pay
ment Of $50 an acre over 90 per cent
OF farms goal up to ITO per cent.
In addition, the department has
promised to support grower prices of
peanuts at an average of 1929 a ton.
Mr.. Wickard may decide to raise this
support level in an effort to get
larger acreage.
The prospective acreage would
provide a sweet potato crop of only
100000 bushels at average yields
AS compared with a production goal
of 81, 100000 bushels. The depart
ment had offered an incentive pay
ment of so cents bushel on all po-
tatoes produced on an acreage be-
tween 80 and 110 per cent of farms
goal. AS in the case of beans. peas
and peanuts, the department is con-
sidering an increase in support
prices of sweet potatoes.

Color Sense Deficient
In Photographers' Ranks

More than 30 topfight photogra.
piers on the coast were rejected
by the marine corps because Of col
or blindness, according to the San
Francisco Chronicle. The deAcien-
cy was found to be far more marked
In photographers than In average
recruits.
So significant has been the per
! centage Of 'tfunks" among the ma.
tons best photographers Gas high
as four out Of every five) that que
ries have been sent to the bureau Of
medicine and surgery in Washing
ton.
And from the bureau comes an
explanation:
Most photographers, It seems,
concern themselves with color tones
rather than actual colors. Ask any
portrait photographer how a blonde
model will look in a green dress
under a reddish afternoon sun and
he will answer in terms Of blacks
and whites and intermediate grays.
After years Of tone conditioning,
color perception becomes impaired,
and In many cases the photogra-
pher can't tell red from green. Some
camera experts, the bureau found,
use color eliminating glasses while
engaged in their professional work;
others celebrating train themselves
for negative color perception"

Plastic Trays Lifesavers

Plastic trays, strangely, are cred
tied with being a wartime life
saver and are also protecting costly
airplanes from disaster. The reason
is that photo-observation planes have
to have their aerial pictures devel-
oped and printed by the time the
plane arrives at its base. The usual
glass trays, hit by a stray bullet,
would shatter with consequent In
jury to crew members and the dire
possibility that a splinter In one
Of the many delicate instruments
would cause untold trouble. Trays
made Of cellulose acetate plastic
were specified as equipment and are
doing the job well. They are equal
~ impervious to chemicals used
In the process and have the added
benefit In that they are lighter in
weight.
