Prof Sleeter Bull of Illinois College of Agriculture says home slaughter reduces purchasing power loss and could let farmers supply half their meat. He notes 1932 U S farmers marketed meat worth 721 million with 1 656 million paid by consumers, a 935 million gap. Savings come from eliminating marketing costs and self supplying meat.
