usually experienced. Careful tests
will be made to determine if any
of the producers are practicing
unfair methods to stimulate their
production, in order to protect
the honest producers and the pub

meat supnly is the greatest in his
tory, it will not be encug! to meet
the demands of our armed forces
both at hone and abroad and the
needs of our fightinfc alliens and
the civilian demand, according to
a v/ar communique received at the
Extension office. A definite a
mount of meat has been set up by
the food committee as necessary for
the different aged individuals, it
has been calculated that a fair
share of meat for an able l died
person of 12 years cr more is 2im
pounds per week; for each child
under 6 years of a0e, 3/4 r’und
per week; and for each child. 6 to
12 years of age, 1^- pounds per
week. This would include the a
mount of meat that would be con
sumed by that individual when eat
in0 at home, In somebody (Lise’s
home, or in a restaurant. This in
formation is only a suggestion of
what our country will be encount
ering undo\ibtedly in the near fut
ure.
