In a sen.se, it amounts to an inventory of the county's production of the foods needed to win the war.

Increasing consumer income and government purchases arc tending to keep pork and lard at high levels despito tho pros pects of record production and marketings. The government is buying about 40 per cent of the pork and 60 per cent of the lard put out under federal Inspec tion. With hog morketings next winter scheduled to be the larg est on record, attempts arc being made to get as many hogs fm lshed and marketed early this foil as possible, to avoid later congestion, WOOL MARKETS More territory wools changed hands last week than at any time recently. Sales Included graded fine half-blood staple and some original bag lots running mostly fine wools at close to celling prices. Graded fine sta ple territory wools brought $1.18 to $1.20. Other grades ranged down as low as $1 for small lots of graded three eighths .wool. More interest in domestic wool has been caused by recent army order specifica tions which include 100 per cent domestic wools.

BALDY'S -BAND Dehydrated beef for U. S. Government orders will be pro duced according to tho continu ous controlled-temperaturo proc ess developed in tho Chicago plant of Swift Ai Company, to whom has been awarded eon tract for 80,000 pounds, first fed eral purchase of tho new meat product, it was disclosed here today. Consultation among techni cians in the meat industry, the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, and equipment manufacturers resulted in several proposals for mothods of dehydration. The method submitted or govern ment approval and developed by 11. H. MeKco and Chicago asso ciates of SVift & Company, has been adopted. Tho company in tends to protect tho process by patents but will mako It avail able to meat packing companies who hove proper equipment, without royalty during the war emergency. The chief principle of the new process, .Swift officials say, is that it ia a eontlniioua operation which involves precooking of cubed fresh beef at relatively low temperatures, immediately followed by grinding and slow drying. Temperatures are con trolled throughout tho operation and are low enough to permit lurther cooking of tho dehy drated product in preparation lor taoie use. Alter drying, the product is hermatically scaled j er s wheat loan, AAA conscrva in tin containers for export. . tion payment or any indemnity The same principles arc said ; payment received under his pol to be generally applicable to de-l icy. The commodity note pay- nyoration oi porK for which the F. S t,. nas indicated it may soon O'.k bids. Dehydration of the entire boneless beef is now possible and compressed packaging of the pro duct saves up to 90 per cent of the ship cargo space formerly used to carry and refrigerate fresh beef sides and quarters, ac cording to L. E. Mead, manager of the local branch house of Swift it Company. The process developed in co operation with the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture now makes possible the production of beef in dehydrated granular form, Mead said, so that the moat con tained in 10 shiploads of World War I days could be stowed in the hold of a single merchant man. The new product does not need refrigeration on long ocean voy ages. It is appetizing and mny even bo eaten just as it comes from the container, and hence is well adapted to field rations. Addition of water restores the meat to the consistency of fresh ground beef and in that form can be served as meat loaf, patties, hash, or any other type of dish in which ground meat is used.
