PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1943 BUT NATION HEADS FOR MEAHAMINE Huge Pork Supply Won't Compensate For Reduced Amounts Of Other Meat. Br Alfred Leech , United Press Correspondent Chicago, Oct. 19 (U.R) Corn belt farmers are preparing to market the biggest hog crop in history, but the , nation still is heading for a severe meat short age next year. Some sources estimate the country's population at 120,000, 000, but the meat industry be lieves this huge pork supply will not compensate for reduced amounts of other meats, parti cularly beef. The hog population estimate I Abased on the crop of 74,000, 000 pigs produced last spring, with another large crop expect ed this faU. Peak This Winter M. M. Conway, statistician for, the National Livestock Market ing Association, said the nation's meat supply would reach a peak this winter. "There will be plenty of meat, Including beef, up to December," he said. "But alter that, beef will drop off, the lamb and mut ton supply will be way down, and pork production will drop in February and March." Conway, believes there will be little meat for civilian con sumers next summer. The record hog crop which soon will begin streaming to ward mid-western stockyards was made possible by the second bumper crop in two years. Farmers have chosen to feed their corn to hogs instead of sel ling it through commercial chan nels for using It to fatten cattle. The price ceiling on corn has discouraged farmers from selling it, and there is more profit in fattening hogs than there it in feeding cattle. Cora Is Key As the raw material which helps produce meat, corn Is the key to the nation's food problem. Ordinarily, a bumper crop means a rich larder of meat, poultry, milk and eggs. But this year, corn has not been distributed equally. Many corn-belt farmers who have a surplus, Conway said, plan to hold their corn until next year rather than sell It under the ceilings. As a result, he said, corn In surplus areas Is not moving into regions where it is needed urg ently to feed livestock. Much com may be wasted, he said, because many farmers are planning to send their hogs to market heavier than usual.- 'These bogs will be heavier than the government wants them to be," he said, "and there will be a lot of lard on them V RICHFIELD REPORTER MlaMTLY M.

The outlook for beef produc tion is unfavorable, he said, be cause large numbers of cattle shipped to market from the western ranges are being slaugh tered. Ordinarily, they would be sold to mldwestern cattle feeders who would fatten them for mar ket, assuring the country of an even supply throughout the year. . " But because of the shortage of feeds other than 'corn, and the high price of available feed, cat tle feeders are not in the market for the range cattle they usually fatten.
