Supply of Pickers and Gannery
Help Short of Needs to
Handle Yield
All Commercial Production Rec.
ords Broken By This Sum-
mer's Bumper Crop

Unusually favorable weather con
ditions during the summer have pro
duced the best commercial tomato
crop in the history of this area, and
the supply of labor has been unable
to cope with either field harvesting
or cannery activities.
Round-the-clock operations in can
neries have been the rule in an at
tempt to process the huge bulk OF
the crop coming from the fields, but
despite urgent calls for additional
help enough workers have not ans
wered to permit handling the entire
crop.
Most of the bumper yield is being
harvested and processed, however
and although all-time production
records already have been surpassed
more tomatoes are continuing to flow
into the canneries.
With canneries located north OF
BIuffton, also in Columbus Grove,
Pandora, Ottawa, Leipsic and Del,
phos, tomatoes have assumed role
of increasing Importance as major
farm cash crop in this area; and the
1948 yield has proved the best in
history. .....
Weather conditions were practical
ly perfect for this years tomatoes
and after a summer in which there
was plenty of moisture at frequent
intervals frost held off so far, per
mitting all of the crop to ripen.
Observers reported this week that
virtually all of the yield will mature
before frost stops the harvest sea,
son, giving this seasons tomato
growers a rare advantage.

High Cost OF Living Hits School
Lunches Despite. More Federal Aid

Although Bluffton schools are re,
ceiving increased financial aid this
fall for its school cafeteria program
lunches cost students five cents more
per meal because of the general ad.
vance of foodstuff prices.
The regular student lunch served
at noon in the cafeteria sells for 3C
cents; and for grades one, two and
three the cost is 20 cents. Last
year the comparative meals cost Is
and 25 cents.
Included on the school lunch menu
are a meat serving or meat sand
wich, salad, vegetable, dessert and
milk. Lunches in both pri9 ranges
include the same items, but portions
are smaller for the grades one thru
three.
Increased federal aid It's year
gives the school a total seven
cents for every meal served with milk,
and five cents for meals swithout
milk. Last year the goNernment
provided four cents for me4s with
out milk and five and one-half cents
for lunches with milk. -
A two-cent jump in the cost of
half-pints of milk from Ian spring
to this fall was cited by school Off
cials as one indication Of the general
price increases affecting opekation of
the cafeteria. Milk in halfpint bot
ties last year cost four cents, as
compared with this years price of
six. Milk served is 3.5 perrent but
terfat.
In the cafeteria an average of 120
to 135 lunches are served every noon.
Much of the federal MD is pro-
vided in the form of food, including
dried fruit, raisins, pruues, peaches,
fruit juice, tomato juiee, potatoes,
onions, peanut butter, etc.

at Work

WoRking three crews on eight
hour shifts of continuous drilling
opera ions, another attempt to locate
oil in II district three miles west o.
BlufftGs on the College road is ex
pectedE to reach oil-bearing rocl
