Meat Supply And Prices Expected To Take Jump The supply of meat during the fourth quarter of 1946 is expected to Ibe from 18 to 2(1 percent larger than last spring, according to John Win i field, market newsman with the N. IC. Department of Agriculture, who , based his opinion on figures contain led in a release of Bureau of Agri cultural Economics figures. How ever. Winfield added, price rises at present are out-distancing the rise in incomes, especially in the case of pork and beef. While the North Carolina pig crop of 651,000 head in the spring season • of 1946 was 53,000 head, or nine per I cent, more than production in the 1 spring of 1945, this is still 66,000 < head under the 10-year average from I 1985-44. 1 Cattle and hog receipts declined on j fall major niarkets during the third land fourth week of July, Winfield stated, and this has furthered the t gradual price rise for these slaughter 1 animals. The reduction of cattle re- 1 ceipts at 12 principal markets for J the month of June was 80 per cent 1 below the corresponding period of f last vear. f M eat production in the calendar t year 1947 may be a billion pounds |' smaller than this year and about • three billion pounds below the 1944 record, output, Winfield concluded. 14 Jailed In Chowan In Month Os August Thirty-four persons were placed in the county jail during the month of July, according to the report of Jail- i er Herman White, Confinement ranged front t to 81 days, the cost ' amounting to $1 0n. 20. which includes ; jail and turnkey fees.
