of $233.81 on hand for the beginning

Meat Production
Shows Decrease
PACKERS REPORT SHORTAGE OF
400, 000,0 900 POUNDS FROM
AVERAGE IN 1919.

Meat production in the United
States during the first six months IN
1920 showed decrease of 5 per cent
from the 1919 figures for the CORES
ponding period, according to a report
by the Institute of American Meat
Packers. The decrease totals more
than 100000 animals, aggregatlng
more than 400,000,000 pounds OF meat,
the report estimates.
IF this rate of decrease should con-
tinue the same for the rest of this
year, meat production in the United
States in 1920 will be nearly billion
pounds less than in 1919" states the
report. $50 far as domestic supplies
are concerned, it is possible that this
decrease can be counteracted to some
extent by the decrease in exports.
The decrease is attributed to losses
on cattle by producers with a subse-
quent cutting down of herds to re-
strict production.
