Of the five years Immediately pre-
ceding the World War, Oscar G..
Mayer, of Chicago, president of the
Institute of American Meat Packers
today told the tweny-third annual
convention Of the institute.
He added that imports OF meat
and meat products for the fisca!
year amounted only to about l
per cent of the domestic produc-
tion.
All Grades Higher
"Prices paid the farmer by the
packing industy have helped to
raise the general level OF farm
prices" he stated. For cattle. dur.
ing the first seven months Of this
year, the packers paid 27 per cent.
Higher than the same period OF
last year, Is per cent higher for
calves. per cent higher for sheep
and lambs, and IA per cent lower
for hogs. The wholesale prices OF
pork products also averaged con-
siderably lower than during the
similar period of last year.
Production Of meat for the cur
rent calendar year probably will
show a slight increase over 1929.
Consumption has kept pace with the
slightly increased production.
Profits Small
Mayer predicted that the profit
margin OF the packing industry for
the current year would probably
average a small fraction of a cent
per pound. "a profit so small that
it cannot be felt by the average con-
sumner and would not change the
price of meat appreciably II it were
removed or doubled"
He urged stabilized hog produc-
ton. declaring that wide fluctuations
in this Is causing great difficulty
and confusion in merchandising.
