are not and will not be particularly
favorable" for greater output.
The decline In hog production this
year is one of the causes of the
present meat shortage. The bureau
said latest reports indicate that the
current pig crop will be is to 20 per
cent smaller than the one last fall.
Mr.. Gruber took note OF published
reports that Eastern order buyers
are active at Western livestock
markets.
'That meat" he declared, ''is not
for the black market"
He said there are thousands of
small packers, most Of them in the
East, who do not have their own
buyers and hence rely on the order
men.
These buyers have been going
farther west to make their pur-
chases, Mr.. Gruber said, but we
are following every one of these
movements across the country. We
are checking every phase from
sales at country places clear down
to the consumers"
The enforcement chief said his
men have no authority to force any
current stocks Of meat into retail
outlets.
"All we can do," he added, is see
that 1t moves under ceilings If 1t
moves at all"
In It's discussion of hog ceilings,
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics said that even If prices Of
corn-the major hog feed-decline
to minimum levels permitted under
agricultural price support programs.
that fact in itself would not be
conducive to large expansion In
the coming spring pig crop.
Smaller Lard Output Seen.
The statement was made in a
report on food fats and oils which
forecast smaller output Of lard
and grease in the late spring and
summer of 1947, as we'll as of pork
The bureau added, however, that
the prospect of an end to price
controls by mid-1947 might lead
Evening star., 1946-10-03

farmers to expand pig production,
despite the none-too- favorable re-
lationship between hog and corn
prices expected to exist as long as
the present ceilings are. retained.
The bureau predicted that civilian
supplies OF food fats and oils for
the 12-month period ending next
September 80 will be slightly larger
than during the past Ia months,
despite prospects of smaller sup
plies of lard, but moderately below
prewar and considerably below de-
mand.

Greatest Stamps
Of Entire World

Officials estimate at least 100,0 900
lives are saved each year-in Amer
lea alone-by funds made available
by the annual Christmas Seal cam
paign against tuberculosis.
In 1903, a Danish postal clerk
Einar Holboell, by name-conceived
the idea of a voluntary tax on
Christmas greeting cards which
would benefit the underprivileged.
Specifically, Holboel visualized es-
tablishment of fund to build a hos
pital for tubercular children. The
ministry granted Holboell permis-
sion to sell his seals at post offices
and the Christmas Seal campaign
was launched. In many countries,
the seal campaign is conducted
largely in cooperation with postal
authorities and, in some instances,
the seals are parts of special post
age stamps.
