Another possibility is that the

and of asserting that there al
ways is spoilage of low grades
and poor cuts of lamb and other
meats.
The OPA official said indus

him that of the 500.000 lambs
in the Willamette valley crop,
300,000 have been sold and 40
per cent of the remainder will
be "hard fed" on the farms for
from three to five months, leav
