statement of the American Meat
Institute. Demand from our allies
will be even greater than in 1871
he predicted.
A new record OF nearly 1919
billion pounds was set for domes-
tic meat consumption in 1941, Mr..
Schmidt stated. This compared
with a little over 1871 billion in
1910. Per capita consumption was
about 5 pounds larger than the
141-pound figure for 1910. while
the average soldier consumed over
300 pounds year.
Production of meat in 1871 was
also at a new high. according 10
Schmidt. Although pork produc-
tion was down about 5 per cent
from the previous year. beef and
lamb output was the largest on
record and veal showed a gain
from 1910. Total livestock market
ings were somewhat higher than
in 1910. despite a drop of about S
per cent in hogs.
