By HARRY BARNES Central Press Correspondent NATIONAL CITY, Il — Mr Housewife who read the nearten- ing news that there will be per cent more meat coming months is due for a sad awakening when 1t actually comes to putting more meat on the fam- | ily dinner table. | Such is the opinion of leading livestock brokers and commissio men at this home of one of the country’'s leading meat markets, the National Stock Yards. The meat shortage, they say, is here to stay, at least for another four or five months, and nothing the government can say about big- ger allowances to John Q. Public is going to make any difference. There is only one thing that can put more meat on the table, cording to these august opinions, and that is "more meat.” Right at the moment, there seems to be little prospects of increased sup- plies so that Mrs. Housewife can get a bigger and better roast for Sunday dinner. Why Outlook Is Bad Numerous factors enter into the oredictions of livestock men that the meat shortage is not yet near an end. The first and foremost of these is the shortage of hog that has been building up until | marketing this year is far below | the level necessary even to main- tain military requirements. The shortage in hog receipts consequently creates a lack of sup- plies that must be taken up, wher- 2ver possible, by other moats. While cattle runs in the past nave been at a fairly high level, the stock has been of light weight and fails to offset the shortage of pork and pork products, thus cre- ating a two-way shertage. This year's outlook for pork and hog volume is discouraging. The department of agricu!ture reported not so long ago that a spring and | fall pig crop of 87,000,000 head is indicated, a number only sih:ghtly ‘larger than last year's crop of 86,753,000 head. What is more significant is the fact that this indicated crop i8 7,600,000 head less than the num- ber required to meet actual de- mand. The potential pork and lard ton- nage from the spring crop shows a reduction of approximately 700, 000,000 pounds from the tonnage of the spring crop in 1944, and a cut of more than 4,000,000,000 pounds from the spring crop of 1943. That is one of the reasons ac- AlaskaMail Is Delivered In Many Ways HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTMENT — Delivery of mail Ito outposts in the Alaskan Depart- ment, although routine, continues to combine all the elements of early day pony express and present day air transport. A recent eveni in servicing the scldiers and civilians on Nuniyak Island, located off the central coast of Alaska and reached only by.an cccasional boat, served to demon- |strate the team work of the Alas- |kan Department postal section and the 54th Troop Carrier Squadron in performing this function. Six weeks' accumulation of mail Fad gathered at Bethel, Alaska, post office address for Nunivak residents, when Lt. Col. James C. Smith of Pittsburgh, Pa., department postal officer and M/Sgt.

There was some hope that the 50 cent subsidy to cattle feeders would increase the over-all supply of meat, but Prairie Farmer in a recent survey polled a group of corn belt feeders on the question | and received a discouraging an- | | swer. | oOnly 18 per cent of those an- | swering thought an increase would | be forthcoming; 38 per cent an-! swered “perhaps, a little,” but 44 per cent said no. Only five out of every hundred cattle feeders polled said they defi- nitely would put more cattle into the feed lot as a result of the di- rect subsidy of 50 cents a hundred for cattle weighing more than 800 pounds and bringing at least §14.25 per 100 pounds. A shortage of manpower, feed costs and dissatisfaction of farm- ers over price controls are mainly stock production, particularly hogs, according to Ed Smith of the Stock Yards tell why your butcher’s | mainte hog | mea Producers Livestock commission association here.

Both Colcnel Smith and Sergeant Bloch -praised the parachuting accuracy of the plane crew, and said that on2 box was chserved landing direct- .ly on top cf a previously parachuied one. | .Commenting on Colcnel Smith said: “Other than marveling at the efficiency of the 54th, the highlight of the trip was our experience crossing the Kuskok-| wim. As we rowed that motor boat into shore, I couldn’t help but think of the comparisen of another fron- tier era in mail delivery when fast | penies were pounding across e plains of our then building country.” SR ST Strange Rifes Before Hirohifo's Palace by Sorrowful Jap People (Continued from Page One) the experience,’ cabinets are bare i2day. Smith was among the first in the country edict a meat shortage and he, like other experts, 1s the shortage is not near its end In addition to the present pros- pects of a continued shortage in hog . another factor has into the situation that will portant part in the ply later this year. According to H. M. Conway, di- rector of research of the National Livestock Producers association, the outlook for this year's corn crop is “rather serious.” Weather Hurt Corn Due to weather conditions, corn crops got off to a late start and the success of the crop will depend considerably upon subsequent weather conditions and the length of the growing period. Additional cultivation of corn may be impossible, due to the la bor shortage, Conway pointed otit The situation, he added, is gei eral throughout the corn belt. that Commission men agree while cattle reccipts have re fairly steady, the choice stocs tii once was common in tie b pens are almost a tiing of the past. Most cattle received today are low-grade stock of lighter weight, and the government takes the best of it, leav the rest fer general distribution.
