Tallow
prices up
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Tallow prices,.although up
because of higher beef
prices, are also getting a
boost because of the rising
cost of petroleum, USDA
indicates that much of the
tallow is again -finding .its
way into soaps and
detergents, which are also
made with petroleum. It is
estimated that in 1944, 1.5
billion pounds of inedible
tallow and grease helped
produce 29 pounds of soap
for every person in the
country, but by 1973 had
dropped to a total of Just
over a half billion pounds, or
3.5 pounds per capita.
