Butter Production Seen to Fall in 1944
The Agriculture Department forecasts a five percent drop in butter output next year due to reduced milk supply and ongoing heavy military dairy usage. Margarine may partly offset the decline as edible oil programs project per capita margarine reach 4.9 pounds in 1944 versus 4.1 this year. Overall food production could rise 4 to 6 percent over this year.
