Packer Disputes U. S.
Meat Price Table.

Here's the packers view of the
Government estimate of the cost of
living in Atlanta:
Il do not believe the cost of meats
is any higher in Atlanta than in any
other city in the United States of the
same size says F. .. Miller. manager
Of the Atlanta branch of Swift & Co.
Il am free to say, too. that until l
am convinced otherwise, | win cher
ish the suspicion that the Government
figures as quoted in the table of prices
published Wednesday are wrong in
many instances.
One thing is correct believe
Boston does pay more for beef than
any other city in the United States.
That is, the average Bostonian PAYS
more for his sirloin than the average
ChicagOan. The answer is that Bos-
ton now uses, and always has used.
the best grades Of beef obtainable.
Boston uses export beef. the fanciest
stuff killed The pork and beans

market for beef in the world.
How these Government figures
were compiled is a mystery TO me
You won't catch man who is an
expert on meats saying that sirloin is
so many cents a pound. He might
say sides from Fort Worth of a Ger
tain weight and certain grade were
worth so much. on the other hand,
beef from Kansas City or from Chi
Cago will cost more, and there are
many grades from each center,
"AtIanta's freight. of course. gov
erns prices here. There may have
been time when an average rate
was struck In a sort of haphazard
way and all points were charged on
that basis Nowadays We compute
the freight on every piece of beef and
add ii to the actual cost of the meat
So small a difference as cents a
hundred in a freight rate is com
puted.
You may rest assured, though. tina,
the difference is due mostly to the
grade Of beef
zone grocer buys a pork loin which
will cut into small fancy chops. And
he sells to a trade which demands
that the account be carried on the
books for a month, perhaps three
months Another grocer buys a loin
which cuts into big, heavy chops.
He sells for cash money His meat
costs him less His expenses are less.
His risk is almost nothing. He can
sell cheaper. of course
Then comes the Government inves-
tigator. In the report, all pork chops
look alike. You can't tell a thing by
such figures.
Il see Boston is supposed to quote
butter, retail. at 80 cents. and New
York at 81 cents, while Atlanta quotes
40 cents.
That cant be right. We sell a
world of fancy table butter. All but
ter prices are computed on the basis
of the Elgin or New York board. The
freight must be added Butter is sold
on the narrowest OF profits. lO-cent
discrepancy between Atlanta, say. and
New York or Boston is impossible

the same grade Perhaps. like beef
and pork chops. all butter looks alike
