MEAT PRODUCTIONS:
Record LeveZs

Keeping well in line with govern
ment predictions of record meat
production for 1914, January slaugh-
ter of hogs, cattle and sheep set
all-time marks for the month.
Partly because of liquidations due
to concern over the overall feed
situation for the year, 1,141 ,081 cat
tie we're butchered in January, along
with 1885, 1852 hogs and 1882 1887
sheep.
Although the government estimat-
ed that meat production would rise
8 per cent in 1914 to a record u.s.
Doc, 100000 pounds, civilian alloca-
tons were set at the 1913 level of 131
pounds of meat per person for the
year, with the services, lend-lease
and other U. S. agencies obtaining
the increased output. Only if the
latters' needs were cut, could civil
ians expect more meat, it was said.
