Beef Dehydration Starts
Mr. Motorist, do you know
which tire receives the leant
wear? A recent atiuly allowed
that the left front tiro gets thn
least wear while the right rear
gets tho most, according to thn
state traffic, safety division. If
you have your tires rotated, regu
larly, you will equalize this wear
and make your tires iHst longer.

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

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

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.
