They conceded, however, that some
of the choicer cuts are difficult to
obtain. Purchases for armed forces
also are boosting prices slightly, they

Packers contended that housewives
normally refrain from buying roasts
and other cuts which require long
cooking when the weather is hot,
thus increasing the demand for cuts
which can be cooked without heating
the kitchen.
Education of housewives to find
other equally satisfactory cuts would
solve both problems of scarcity and
high prices, the spokesmen agree.
