It is" ripe" and is marketed in larger quantities in certain months. This causes a natural oversupply at one time and a natural shortage at another. > During the time of oversupply Swift & Company places some of the meat in cold storage, against the season of short production. ji This is a necessity in order that the nation's ration, of meat?58,000,000 pounds every day in the year?^ may be forthcoming as the consumer requires it. : This is not hoarding, not price manipulation, not market control. It is mere common sense. United States Bureau of Markets1 figures of stocks of frozen and cured meats July 1 are being used a:s>a basis for Department of Justice investigations in many cities. When properly analyzed, based on Swift & Company's stocks, these figures show: 62 per cent (approximate) is pork end beef cuts, etc., cured and in process of curing". It takes 30 to 90 days in pickle or salt to complete the curing process. 12 per cent is frozen pork, of which more than three quarters is to be cured in the next few months. 7 per cent is lard. This is a normal supply and only four-fifths of a pound per capita, and much of it will have to go to supply European needs. 19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, and miscellaneous meats, part of which is owned by the Government and was intended chiefly for overseas shipment. If this were all diverted to domestic trade channels it would be only 2^2 lbs. per capita?a 5 days' supply. 100% From this it will be seen that "meats in storage" represent unfinished goods in process of curing and the working supply necessary to assure the consumer a steady flow of finished product.
