Butchering On Farms This Winter
Believed At All Time High Mark
Farmers Butchering for Own
Families are Exempted
From OPA Order
Commercial Refrigerators are
Believed to be Filled With
Meat

Increased butchering on farms to
provide meat for home consumption
is development taking place in the
Bluffton farming community.
Impetus to home farm butchering
was given by an Office of Price Ad-
ministration order permitting this
type of activity. Locker space in in
creased amounts is being used to
store the meat, it is believed.
INCREASED AMOUNTS
No reliable statistics are available
as to the amount of home butchering
being done or the amount of cold
storage being used but livestock men
believe the quantity to be much
higher than in previous years.
Actually the farmers are restrict.
ed by 0PA in the amount of butch,
e~lng to be done, since they car
slaughter no more hogs for sale thar
they did in 1941. However, there il
no limit upon the number they ma!
kill 20 obtain meat for home use.
KEEP RECORDS
Farmers are required to keep rec
ords Of all animals slaughtered fol
delivery to others but not of those
for the use of their own families
Animals covered by the OPA order
are cattle, calves, sheep, lambs and
hogs.
Regardless of restrictions loca
livestock men are convinced that
farm butchering has reached new
high levels. Similarity it is believed
that commercial refrigerators are
filled with meat.

MEAT PURCHASES
LIMITED HERE AS
SHORTAGES RISE
Follows Similar Pattern of
Coffee Purchases Before
Official Rationing
Situation Aggravated by Out
siders Desiring to Purchase
Meat Here

Following a similar pattern of
limiting purchases as in coffee before
official rationing started, Bluffton
butcher shops are retailing their
meat supplies in limited quantities
in an unofficial rationing program
now under way.
This has been made necessary by
the meat shortages in the larger
centers with the result that numer-
Gus city residents have sought to
buy a portion of their meat supplies
here.
Many truck, motorists and sales
men driving through town stop at
the local butcher shop to purchase
meat. In addition there has been an
increase in the mail order business
In which money is sent by out-of-
town buyers for meat to be mailed
to the purchaser.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Preference is given in the pur-
chase of meat to established local
customers but even those may not
purchase meat in unlimited quanti-
ties, dealers said.
While the demand for meat pro-
ducts has increased the butchers
here are limited to the terms of an
Office of Price Administration order
to reduction of 80 per cent under
the corresponding period last year.
Butchers, custom slaughterers and
farmers are required to keep records
of all animals killed for retail meat
sales.
1t is expected that official ration
ing of meat on point basis will be
under way here in the near future.
In the meantime the problem is be-
ing handled by local limitations.
