XIOOKD OSOPS WOITT mcouun houbxwivks ftUDOET, SAT EXPEKTS i At the rate corn is growing today, America will have its biggest corn Crop in history this fall. As of July t. the Agriculture department estimates the yield at 8.328,862,000 And this may be a conservative estimate, a general spokesman for the " department said. Ordinarily this would be great lews for the housewife. Corn is the Erincipal feed for meat animals. A umper crop should mean much lower prices for the grain. This, in ' turn, should encourage the farmer to raise more animals at less cost, Which normally would mean more meat for the consumer also at lower prices. But these aren't ordinary times. Market observers are agreed that Iftiere will be greater supplies of pork jiifrid pork products during 1949. But they were reluctant to predict that pork prices will be cut. Why? ; To begin with, although our total, ' Jjork supply in storage this summer Is nearly twice as great as last sum- .. liier--579,15,000 pounds as against ,./852,814.000 pounds -- pork prices "generally are higher. There's hardly a suitable explanation for this, although some obserV- ; frs point out that the supply of other ViMeats is lower and the public is1 ittierefore buying more pork. But , *^at argument doesn't jibe with our -4$pld storage holdings. I V, Secondly, our total meat production, • won't be increased too much in 1949* Hfftpspitc the bumper born crop. It takes almost two years to raise a ihref animal for table use. Of all the IBeat animals, pigs are the ones that1 become marketable the soonest. : If the hotisewife insists on buying --meat at high prices, her hopes of Saving a little out of the household budget fo- a new hat will continue to be a ( ream for a long time to rapine--at least until well into 1950.
