Farmer* of Stokeß county and
all other livestock slaughterers
who slaughter meal animals for
sale must obtain permits from the
County O'SDA War Board by Ap
ril 1 in order to continue their op
erations, according to Jacob Ful
ton, chairman of the board.
Livestock dealers who buy an
imals for resale also must obtain
permits by that Ate, Mr. Fultou
said. The dealer permit regula
tion, however, does not apply to
most farmers as a livestock deal
er is defined as a person who buys
'animals and sells them in less
than 30 days.
The permit orders are a part of
'a national meat control program
recently announced by Secretary
'of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard
designed to stamp out black mar
ket activities and bring all meat
j
into legitimate trade channels.
I Chairman Fulton said the Coun
ty L'SDA War Board now has
pernjits ready to be issued to far
miners, local slaughterers, butchers
and livestock dealers who in ten.
|to operate after March 31.
"I would like to emphasize thai
farmers who slaughter animal,
for home use do not need permits
to do so\ he said. "A permit is
! required, however, if they delivei
j any meat for use by others. All
| slaughterers, including farmers
are required to keep accurate an ri
complete records of all animals
killed. Farmers also are expect
ed to keep records of all animate
bought and sold."
Under the anti-black market
program, all persons who slaugh
ter animals for sale after March
31 will have a permit number
which must be stamped on each
wholesale cut of meat. Slaugh
terers who now operate under
federal, state, county er city in
spection will use the same num
bers thef now have. Other
slaughterers will be gtven num
bers when they obtain their per
mits, and will be required to use
these in stamping wholesale cuts.
