Pork output was 9 1-2 per cent
higher for January-June 1956
than for the same period m 1955.
It is expected that 422 million
less pounds of pork will be pro
duced in the last six months of
this year than in the same
period last year, but effective
promotion and merchandising
activities will still be necessary
because of the sharp seasonal in
creases in marketing during this
period. Pork production for the
entire year is expected to be 10
I billion 99 million pounds, com
-1 pared with 10 billion 56 million
in 1956.
Pork promotion activities o 5
the industry’s service organiza
tions, will be accented during the
following periods; Oct. 25-Nov.
10; Dec. 6-15.
LAMB
Lamb supplies are expected to
remain at about the same level
as last year, with production
dropping slightly to a total of
740 million pounds.
The lamb industry is concen
trating its educational and pro
motional activities on broadening
the pattern of distribution of
lamb products since over 70 per
cent of the nation’s lamb output
is consumed in a small group of
states in the New York-New
England area and on the west
coast. The program is also. de
signed to familiarize people with
the many lamb cuts and pro
ducts that are available.
It is a year-round project, but
the traditional seasons of heavier
marketings are taken into con
sideration.
In line with the seasonal pat
terns of lamb marketing, indus
try promotion activities will be
centered on lamb on the follow
ing dates: July 12-21 and Sept.
27-Oct. 6.
POULTRY
U S D.A. figures indicate that
from January through August
the 1956 production of broilers
will exceed 1955 by 22-25 per
cent. Chick placements during
the week of June 9 were 21 per
cent larger than a year earlier
and egg settings were 20 per cent
larger. Chick placements for the
week were the second-largest in
history.
Economists estimate that if
hatcheries reduce egg-settings by
one-third, the result in potential
supply of broilers for early au
tumn would about equal that of
a year earlier. Broiler prices
nosedived last year in early Oc
tober and observers warn that a
sharp break in demand may oc
cur at the same time this year.
The number of turkeys now
growing for slaughter later this
year is a record. A one-fifth in
crease in the crop of heavy-bred
turkeys is indicated by increased
hatchings and more eggs in in
cubators than last year.
The 1956 production of light-
breed turkeys is expected to be
down about 20 per cent from last
year’s crop.
Promotional activities for tur
key are planned for July 26-Aug.
4, and for poultry, Sept. 27-Oct.
