RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF XrawuMsna rwntrTM-f nriwiwt i itimimwii in ! iiiimwiw nwwi wi i n in r i n si 1 mi l nui l i 1 i It 8: V J' T- B The Price of Pork Chops and Bacon Here are reasons why the fine, fresh pork tenderloins and pork chops, or savory ham, or crinkly bacon, which you enjoy for break fast, cost much more per pound than the market quotation on live hogs which you read in the newspaper: An average hog weighs 220 pounds. Of thjs, only 70 per cent (154 pounds) is meat and lard. So, when we pay 15 a pound for live hogs, we are really paying more than 2iy a pound for the meat which we will get from these animals, even after taking into account the value of the by-products. But people show a preference for only one-third of the whole the pork chops, fancy bacon, and choice cuts from juicy hams. This means that when we are sell ing Premium bacon at 43'2per pound wholesale and Premium hams at 30, there are other parts for which we get as low as ti or 8 per pound. The net result is an average profit to us of less than i a pound. The choice cuts are higher because of a demand for them. Another thing: Only 35 pounds of the entire hog or about l6th is usually marketed at once. The rest must be pickled, cured, or smoked. This takes months, and adds to the costs which must be met Swift & Company, U.S. A LyrSfSlSSv ,TrUSSH0WsS. III r g jrvHM BECOMES r Ml "V A THE AVERAGE DOLLAR III A?
