Meat Consump

3J lbs. a Person
128 Pounds per Capita Compared to
124.4 Last Year Lower Prices
Bring Increase in Sales.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30 (UP) Did you
eat your extra 3 pounds of meat
during 1938?
If you didn't It wasn't the fault
of the nation's farmers and meat
packers.
This year America's per capita
meat consumption averaged 128
pounds as compared with 124.4 last
year. Total 1938 meat consumption
amounted to about 16,500,000,000
pounds compared with about 16,000,-
000,000 pounds in ,1937.
Other year-end meat trends noted
today by William-Whitfield Woods,
president of the Institute of Ameri
can Meat Packers:
1 Wholesale prices of most meats
are substantially lower than a year
ago.
2 Upswing in meat production.
3 Farm prices of livestock dur
ing recent months have remained at
relatively higher levels than farm
prices of grains, cotton and cotton
seed, fruits, truck crops and dairy
products.
4 Farmers' income from meat
animals in 1938 approximated the
sum of $1,900,000,000,
5 Meat exports increased from
77,000,000 pounds in 1937 to an es
timated 107.000,000 pounds this
year; lard exports from 137.000,000
to about 208.000,000 pounds, while
meat imports declined from 170,000,
000 pounds in 1937 to approximate
ly 135.000,000 in 193S.
"With the exception of some
grades of beef and of some smoked
pork products, the wholesale prices
of most meats are lower now than
they were a year ago," Woods said,
pointing out that pork loins are
about 12 per cent . lower, bacon 20
per cent lower, lard 18 per cent
lower, veal 10 per cent lower and
dressed lamb 15 per cent lower.
He asserted, that, notwithstanding
the lower level of 1938 livestock
prices, farmers have been receiving
"relatively more for their meat ani
mals during recent months than have
producers of numerous other farm
products, especially crops."

Here You Are Nineteen-Ttiirty-Nine
TO ALL OUR FRIENDS WHEREVER YOU MAY BE GREETINGS !
We Wish You All a Happy New Year
A year filled with joy and happiness, good health and true friends.
And in addition, we wish you a generous degree of what the world
calls material success counted in terms of dollars and cents. And
fceyond all this we wish you the real success that has been so glibly
termed "The Abundant Life." While money may provide you with
many things, the true Abundant Life must be grounded on a true
fellowship with your fellow man an interest in his welfare as well
as your own. An epitome expressed by Van Dyke, when he said:
"Let me live my life from year to year,
With forward face and unreluctant soul;
Not hastening to, or turning from the goal,
Nor holding back in fear from what the future holds,
But with a whole and happy heart, that pays its toll
To Youth and Age . . . and travels on with cheer.
So let the way be up the hill, or down
O'er rough, o'er smooth, the journey will be joy;
Still seeking what I sought when but a boy:
New friendships, high endeavor and service to my fellow man
My heart will keep the courage of the quest
And trust the road's last turn will be the best"
"To live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man ;"
To share with the joys, the griefs, the desires and troubles to do
all possible to banish fears and increase the joy of living all this
will need be a portion of your work and to those who do this and
maintain a faith in and obedience to our Heavenly Father, there
is insured "The Abundant Life." We hope you may approximate it!
