The de- jpartment of agriculture estimates ii ai ji.uu.uuu oiras. i ne re-1 cord is 44.221,000, produced in 1945. I Cold storage stocks also are! low, about half the 5-year aver age. The total on Oct. 1. latest1 figure available, was 14.8R1.0D0' pounds. A year ago it was 3R. 979.000 pounds. Those are tin national figures.
