PRODUCTION OF
DRESSED MEATS
IS ENORMOUS
WASHINGTON, May 6 (by Asso
ciated Press). — American dressed
meat production, including ]ard,
amounted in 1918 to 20,129,800,000
pounds—a quantity never before ap
proached in magnitude by the live
stock industry of this or any other
country. ?he corresponding figure for
1917 was 16,317,300,000 pounds.
Three-fourths of this enormous in
crease was in pork and one-fourth
was in beef.
The meat surplus in 1918 was so
great that extra export demands
made little impression on it, although
1918 export shipments of meat; and
lard nearly doubled the 1917 figures—
rising from slightly less than on^ and
three-fourths billion pounds to slight
ly more than 3 billion pounds-t-and
these figures do not include shipments
to American military forces abroad.
The aggregate 1917 consumptipn of
dressed meat and lard in the United
States was approximbately 14^ bil
lions, but in 1918 it rose to seventeen
and one quarter billion dolars. .This
means, after allowing for increase in
population, and addition of 23 piunds
for every man, woman and child in
the country—despite the food censer
vation campaign which in 1917 ciused
consumption to decline consider ibly.
“While the people as a irhole
through their abstinence avertc d the
immediate crisis, it was the 1 irmer
who was the really big factor n the
ultimate situation,” says the 1 ureau
of animal industry, United Stat s de
partment of agriculture. “Th pro
ducer, of course, was expected to do
his part, but he did it with suci pow
erful effect that in a single ye ir the
meat shortage was turned into i pro
nounced surplus. Thus in 1918 there
was not only meat enough to i upply
all foreign demands compatibli with
the restricted shipping faicilitle i, but
a greatly enlarged quantity was avail
able for the home consumption.
“To be sure, it cost the (inner
more, much more, to feed his ai imals
and get them to market.' Likewi», all
other steps from producer ti con
sumer became more costly, hei e the
high prices. But the unpreci ented
prosperity of the people as s^Vvhole
enabled them to afford the increased
cost. In fact, laboring people prob
ably consumed more meat during the
past year than in pre-war times.
“The total number of cattle
slaughtered in 1918 is estimated at
15,750,400 as against 13,723,900 in
1917. Their average weights were
practically the same for both years,
and the beef produced from them was
6.686.000. 000 pounds in 1917 and 7,
641.000. 000 in 1918. This was a re
markable achievemnt, as it hardly
would have been credited that, beef
growers could increase their produc
tion a billion pounds in one year.
“The hog matures quickly, there
fore a much more rapid increase
would be looked for than was the case
with cattle. Even so, the results for
1918 can be described only as
stupendous. The hogs marketed in
1918 numbered 69,854,700 as against
57,483,800 in 1917. Furthermore, the
average w’eight was 9% pounds more
per hog in 1918. Thus when the ani
mals are turned into pork and lard
we have a total production of 11,225,
664.000 pounds in 1918 as against 8,
478.289.000 pounds in 1917, an in
crease of 2,747,355,000 pounds, or 32.4
ner cent, nearly one-third.”
Striking# increases in exports are
also shown by the burau. Beef ship
ments abroad in 1918 were 94 par cent
more than in 1917—the chief 1918
items being 514,000,000 pounds of
fresh beef and 141,000,000 pounds of
canned beef. Exports of pork and
lard in 1918 amounted to 2,278,287,030
—which was 71.7 per cent more titan
the quantity sent abroad in 1917.
The bureau shows that in the ag
gregate more meat by far is eaten in
the United States than in any other
country in the world—although some
sparsely settled countries raising
much meat have a larger per capita
consumption. It also says that there
is room in the United States for a
great expansion in the use of mut
ton and lamb.
