to nothing simply because he
couldn't buy poultry in legitimate
channels.
The farmers laugh at you when
you expect them to observe CELL
ingS," he said
DODGES USE
Dcdges used in avoiding OPA
regulations fall into three main
classes, dealers said. The producer
or retailer sells to picked custom
ers at ceiling prices plus bonus.
He reports to upgrading-selling all
grades of poultry at top grade
prices. Or he juggles his weight
calculations
The last subterfuge is the mcst
commonly used in the retail mar
ket. The INSCRIPTIONS grocer or
butcher will sell a live weight
chicken at dressed or drawn weight
prices. This jumps the price on a
broiler or fryer from 40 to 48 or 81
cents pound.
Another practice is the sale of
chickens as laying hens, which
carry no ceiling price. A three
pound chicken will be offered for
$225 plus 10-cent charge for kill
ing, bringing the price up to ap-
proximately rs cents per pound, a
dealer explained.
Black market operations have
become so widespread that OPA
finds them almost impossible to
police, it was reported. The meat
shortage has emphasized the prob
lem, since restaurant owners rely
increasingly on serving nom
rationed foods.
FORGET CEILINGS
Dealers and producers, finding it
impossible to make a profit at
present ceiling prices, one store
owner said. The conscientious pro-
ducer can realize a profit with
four-cent mark-up; the less scrup-
ulous takes what the traffic will
bear.
Poultry men agree in recon-
mending an increase in ceiling
prices and expanded production as
the only solution to the problem,
contending that the market is too
well established to be uprooted by
fines or ether penalties.
