'|Meats in Storage

Every working day of the year rs, 900 900 pounds
ofmeat 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 consid- :
ering the u. S. Bureau Of Markets report that on
June L. 1912 there were 1,348, 000, 900 pounds Of
meats in cold storage. the meat in storage
placed the market it would only be 30 days supply
This meat is not arti6cial1y withheld from trade
channels to maintain or advance prices n
Meats in storage consist Of (
IS per cent hpproximate) hams bacon etc, n
process Of curing. Il takes 80 to 80 days in
pickle or salt to complete the process.
10 per cent is fro.sn pork that is to b cured
later in the year. ~
per cent is lard This Is only four-Afths Of
pound Per capita, and much Of it will have \
to 60 to supply European needs
10 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, pGrt Of
which is owned by the Government and was
intended chiefly for overseas shipment.
this were all diverted to domestic trade cham
nels, it would b only N lbs per capita-a .
days supply. /
From this e Twill be seen that meats in
storage represent merely unfinished goods in pro
cess Of curing and the working supply necessary to
assure the consumer steady flow Of finished product

record in warfare, had promptly turned
to the army schools, equally deter

I'VE have $4,000 young Jews in the

man in the 77th, I believe, has been
honestly striving to fit himself for a
better job on his return. Many of
them are devoting all their spare time
to study, and the knowledge they are
gaining in all directions will be of in
calculable value to them when they
doff the khaki.

"Those who we're taken into the army

a job for each man who needs one.
was to provide for the proper accom-

announced that the men of the division
