Civilian Butter Situation Predicted To Worsen
Chicago reports warn the civilian butter supply will be the most critical in industry history. Dr. H A Ruehe of the American Sutter Institute says 1944 creamery butter output may fall 15 percent from 1943 with civilians getting about six pounds per capita for the year. Lower price ceilings, cow feed shortages, and hot weather threaten production, possibly shrinking September output by 18 to 20 percent.
