Meat to Be Rationed
Within Four Months
Is Prediction Made
The food requirements committee
in Washington has decided upon the
rationing of meats, and predicts that
within four months all meats will be
sold on a rationed basis, according
to an announcement.
'Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
announced that the food require
ments committee had decided on ra
tioning as the best method of assur
ing an equitable distribution of what
he termed the largest livestock pro
duction in history.
Meanwhile, a conservation cam
paign, possibly including "meatless
days,” will be instituted to limit ci
vilian consumption of red meats to
about the same average amount as
has been eaten per capita during the
last ten years.
“It will give our civilians approx
imately 2 1^2 pounds of meat per
person per week,” Wickard said, “as
contrasted with the one pound to the
British civilian, 12 ounces to the
German, five ounces to the Belgian.
It is an adequate meat supply. When
you add in the increased supply of
poultry, cheese, and dry beans we
have, it provides a top-notch protein
diet for us.”
