Meats in Storage

Every working day the year rs, 600, 900 pounds
ofmeat 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
June 1, 1919, there were 1,348, 100000 pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in storage was
placed the market it would only be 20 days supply
This meat is not artifcially withheld from trade
channels to maintain or advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
65 per cent (approxinate) hams, bacon, ETC., in
process of curing. 1t takes 80 to go days in
pickle or salt to complete the process
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year
per cent is lard This is only four-ffths of a
pound per CAPITA and much of it viii have
to go to supply European needs
1o per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of
which is owned by the Government and was
intended chiefly for shipment. If
this were all diverted to domestic trade chan
nels, it would be only IL lbs. per capita-a
days supply.
From this it viii be seen that meats IN
storage" represent merely unfinished goods in pro-
of curing and the working supply necessary to
assure the consumer steady flow Of finished product
