Meats in Storage _Not “Hoarded”” Live stock iS a seasonal crop—like cereals and grains. It is “ripe” and is marketed in larger quaritities in certain _months. This causes a natural gversupply at one’ time and a natural shortage atanother. During the time of oversupply Swift & Company places some of the meat in cold storage, against the season of : short production. e ~ This isa necessity in order that the nation’s ration of meat=58,000,000 pounds every day in the year—may be forthcoming as the con- sumer requires it. - 4 “This is not hoarding, ot price manipulation, not market control. It is mere common sense. United States Bureau of Markets’ figures of stocks of frozen and cured meats July 1 are being used as a basis for Department of Justice investigations in many cities. When properly analyzed, based on Swift & Company’s stocks, these figures show: K 62 per cent (approximate) is porkand - beef cuts, etc., cured ‘and.in' pro- cess of curing. - It takes 30 to 90 days in pickle or salt to complete the curing process. 12 per cent is frozen'pork; of which - more than three-quarters is to be cured in the next -few months. 7 per cént is lard. This-is a normal A supply‘and -only; four-ffths of a pound per capita; and much of it will have to go to supply Euro- = _ pean needs. % 19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, and miscellaneous meats, part of which is owned by the Govern- o ment and was. intended chiefly for over-seas shipment. If this were all diverted to -domestic trade channels itwouldbe only 212 Ibs. per capita=a 5 ‘days’ supply. 100 From this it will be seen that “meats in storage” represent unfinished goods in process of curing and the working supply necessary to assure the consumer a steady flow of finished - product. ‘Swift & Company, U.S. A. o, 12.96 CENTS FOR.
