NO BAN NOW ON
SOME MEAT CUTS

Inc restrictions on the use of heef
nave been partially lifted. beginning
To-Day, according to a telegram re-
celved by Edmund Mitchell food ad-
ministrator for Delaware. Now. while
there are several economic copdi,ions
lhst might create an excess amount Of
certain cuts Of beef and a consequent
waste If the restrictions were con-
tlnued, the Food Administration is
urging citizens to buy all they want
or the light weight cuts, reserving the
heavy cattle for shipment abroad
Originally the Food Administration
had planned to lift the ban in Septem-
Der, but the weather Of the past week
made 1t change its mind regarding the
time.
The reasons given for the lifting OF
the regulations on beef follow
The extreme drought In the south
west and other parts Of the country.
Is endangering the meat herds. Pro-
ducers are rushing light weight beef
to market, thus creating unexpected
surplus Of light cuts.
All the heavy beef is intended for
war export alone, as il can be handled
better, kept longer, and is more suited
for the use OF the American forces and
our allies.
"The Food Administration requests
all retail markets, to handle cattle
which do not weigh over 475 pounds.
and urges the American beef eater that
patronizes public eating places and the
public in general. to create a demand
for light weight cuts
"The general policy Of conserving all
meat is still encouraged by the food
administrator as a measure to safe
guard the future"
