Third More Beef
Seen in 3 Years

WASHINGTON, TIFF all goes
we'll, Americans will have nearly
a third more bee by 1855.
Consumers ale an average OF
62.7 pounds of beef and veal last
year. The Agriculture Department
says that in three years the aver
age should be around 81 pounds.
cattle production has for years
moved up and down in what IT
calls cattle cycles" The nation
is now in the midst OF a cycle up
swing.
These cycles are influenced by
such things as prices, supplies OF
livestock feed, condition of pas
lures and consumer demand.
There have been three such
cycles during the past 25 years
The first began in 1927, with cat
tie numbers starting an upswing
under influence of a general i'm
provement in economic conditions
1t reached a peak in 1884. Low
farm prices and drought which
ruined many pastures brought an
end to the expansion.
After dropping off, cattle num-
bers started a new upswing in
1898. Improved farm prices. coup
led with an increase in feed supp
lies, encouraged new expansion.
1t was spurred to a second height
by World War II. The downswing
in this cycle started in 1945. Tight
feed supplies plus farmer COM
plants over price controls were
given as factors.
Then came the war in Korea.
Demand for meat increased. So
did prices. A new cattle cycle was
started. Farmers began increasing
their herds again.
The department says that if the
present cycle follows the pattern
of past cycles it will reach its peak
in 1855 with record, number OF
beef cattle on farms and record
number sent to market for slauSh-
ter.
The 1927-'34 cycle started with
81 million head of cattle, climbed
to "a, then dropped back to IS
The 1938-'45 cycle started with
65 million head, increased to 6s
but declined to 76 in 1949.
The present cycle started witt
76 million and reached 88 the
first of this year. The department
says the number is expected tc
reach 80 million next year, 81 ir
1854 and 100 in 1855 unless there
are unforeseen developments.
If consumer incomes and demand
for meat should weaken seriously
the resulting lower prices for cat
tie would be discouraging to pro
duction. Or a severe drought
could cut grass and grain supplies
to a point where it would be i'm
possible to increase numbers fur
ther. .l.
What is likely to happen after
1855? The department does not
look beyond that date-at least
for publication. Some of its experts
do say, however, II is a question
whether the nation could feed

It's the incubated egg-cure
which helped them to get rid Of
their troubles, they say. Millions
of incubated eggs are being eaten
these days. 49,
The simple formula is: Eat one
egg daiiy.-incubated nine days
and do this for one month. The
theory is that some PARTIES in the
egg embryo called trephones--
effect a renewal of the human

patient. These trephorfcs arc said
