SAYS MEAT PRICES

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS PRODUCERS GET LESS
AND MEAT REMAINS HIGH.
ADVISE FEDERAL CONTROL
Says Save Food Signs Should Be Dis
regarded as to Meat and
Wheat Products Because
Of Oversupply.


Washington. = FIderal supervision
Of the packing, salHe Heand distribution
OF meat products was declared by the
Department of Agriculture to be the
only solution for the present situa-
ton, in which meat prices to the con
sumer are so high that he is denying
himself and in which prices for live
stock. especially beef and lambs are
so low that the producer is losing
money.
The department emphasized that
save food" signs should now be dts-
regarded as to meat, especially beef,
and wheat products. Faced by the
largest wheat crop on record and vita
many cattle raised in response to the
demand for meat production for the
army now maturing. the department
saws that the American people must
realize that no necessity for conser'
walton OF such foods any longer ex'

A survey OF the meat price situa
ton. the department said, reveals
that the present excessive retail
prices are not Justified by whoiesalz
quotations. Prices to the producers
have declined since the war, 1t was
said, but prices paid by the consum
er have not materially lessened. Th'
only solution, the department be
Heves, is more strict federal superv'
sion.
The entire meat situation. based OF
conferences with senators and repre-
sentatives from livestock producinl
regions was summarized by the az
partment as follows:
