Prof L J Norton head of agricultural economics warned of a 1947 recession that could lower meat prices due to unemployment and lower earnings. He projected retail price ceilings hold until October 1947, meat production to drop 6 percent in 1946 before recovery in 1947, and per capita supplies rise from 138 in 1945 to 141 in 1946 and 148 in 1944. McCall noted a 373 percent rise in canned meat output over six years, nearly a billion pounds produced last year.
