PLENTY OF BEEF
Portland, Ore., June 28-4U.R)
Oregon livestock producers have
more beef cattle on farms and
ranges than they have had at
any one time in 15 years and
only ask that government regu
lations give them a chance to
sell the meat, State Director of
Aorlriillnre E. L. Peterson told
a special directors meeting of
the Oregon rood jviercnanis as
sociation. Peterson said Oregon Is pro
ducing a heavy surplus of meat
for its population.
There are 746,000 head of
beef cattle, 436,000 dairy cows,
194,000 hogs and 1,082,000 lambs
and sheep on farms in the state,
Peterson explained.
He has wired Oregon's con
gressional delegation that the
meat distribution trouble could
be eased by cancellation of the
custom slaughtering price regu
lation, adjustment of slaughter
quotas, qualifying mora slaught
er plants for interstate shipment
and sales to the army and dele
gating power to the regional and
district OPA so they can take
emergency action. 1
