EVER WONDER WHAT a mountain of
meat looks like? Pictured in the chart
above is the meat production-consumption
profile for almost half a century. This
year’s meat, at about 27 & billion pounds,
will be almost exactly double the volume
in 1910. Production sort of loafed along in
the foothills until 1941, then wartime de
mand sent tonnage of meat soaring. Note
how production, which usually is some
what higher than domestic consumption,
Countries are well cultivated,
not as they are fertile, but as i
they are free. Montesquieu, i

Florin, Pennsylvania
in World War I and II moved very much
higher as the nation strained to supply its
forces and allies overseas. Only in 1935
and 1937 did consumption exceed produc
tion. This was possible because of imports
and dipping into.some storage stocks. The
meat represented by the gap between pro
duction -and domestic consumption goes
into, export channels and storage. Much
meat in so-called storage at any time ac
tually is being processed for consumption.

Farm Credit
Groups Increase
Volume In ’56
Both the Lancaster Production
Credit Assn and the National
Farm Loan Assn, of Lancaster
increased their volume of busi
ness during 1956 despite the
“tight money” situation, mem
bers were told at the annual
Farm Credit meeting Friday.
More than 400 members and
their families attended the pro-,
gram at South Lebanon High
School at lona, starting with a
luncheon served by the Lebanon
County Society of Farm Women.
Total assets were reported
at $2,763,647 for the PCA while
the NFLA listed its total worth
at $171,498.90. Income figures
were up for both cooperatives
to $125,835 from $114,483
for the PCA and to $25,975
from $23,634 for the NFLA.
The net income of the NFLA
also showed a gain from $5,878
last year to $6,511 for the current
fiscal year.
The tight money conditions had
their effect on PCA net income,
however, causing a sharp decline
from $16,089 a year ago to $B,-
440.
Officials pointed out that in
terest expenses, reflecting the
higher interest rates necessary to
make bond issues attractive to
buyers, were responsible, rising
from $38,828 in 1955 to $61,623
this year.
“The important thing is that
these financial reports show that
we are serving our purpose in
continuing to supply credit to
farmers by > maintaining even
increasing our volume of busi
ness,” 'Lee R. Brobst, assistant
secretary - treasurer PCA - NFLA
for the Lancaster office, said.
Three directors re-elected dur
ing the business session were
G G. Minnich, Lititz, as Lancaster
County director of the PCA; John
H. Gibble, Myerstown, Lebanon
