-"Meats in Storage

Every working day of the year
75,OOOOOO pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the u. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June l., 1919,
there were l,348yOOO.0OO pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not artiicially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
6s per cent (approximate) hams bacon etc.,
in process of curing. 1t takes 80 to 90
days in pickle salt to complete the
process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
6 per cent is lard. This is only four-ffhs
of pound per capita, and much of it will
have TO 60 to supply European needs.
19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb part of
which is owned by the Government and
intended chiefly for overseas ship
ment II this all diverted to domes-
tic trade channels it would be only
l12 lbs. per capa-a days supply.
1909
From this it will be seen that meats
in storage" represent merely un-
finished goods in process of curing and
theworking supply necessary to assure
the consumer a steady flow of finished
product.
