ERRONEOUS REPORTS HEARD ON MEAT SHARING PROGRAM : (Note*. There have been{ I a number o f inquiries; which the following relea se will answer I. Farmers do not need a I permit to butcher their ; hogs or other meat ani mals, Dean I. O. Schaub, j director of the State Col lege Extension Service, jem ph a tically emphasized in correcting erroneous re ports about the Share-the- Meat program. Neither do farmers have to have their hogs weighed before kill ing them, he declared. “There is much misinfor jmation and gossip going around now as regards the Share-the-Meat program.” Dean Schaub declared, j “Reports from a number of j counties indicate that many j people believe * they • wiil need a permit before they jean kill any animal. Also j they have heard reports | that these permits cost from $3.00 to $5.00 or more. “Such reports are eritir , ely erroneous,” lie -asserted,, i “and everything possible ; should be done to stop such rumors. There is a ; possibility that such re-; parts, are being circulated deliberately.” The Extension director' said that the Share-the- Meat program is a volun tary one at the present j time, and while farmers will be asked to limit their consumption to an allow ance set up for the country: as a whole, Dean Schaub says he doubts if the re striction on consumption will affect more than a few farmers on the basis of average yearly consum ption. “Comparatively- few of j our farmers average more than the consumption al lotment requested of all I the people,” he said. The State College leader said that the only restric tion on farm slaughter of j hogs, cattle, calves, sheep and lambs is where a far mer has been butchering and delivering animals for others. In this case the farmer is restricted to no more than the same amo unt of each kinds of meat 1 that he slaughtered and de livered to others in the cor responding quarter of 1941.
