They said that without an incentive to feed cattle to heavier weights producers . would rush animals to market from the range, the end result being less and poorer beef. War food administration officials, who consistently have opposed live cattle ceilings as, unenforceable agreed with this view, | They pointed out that once cattle numbers have been reduced—prob|ably by early summer, beef supplies will drop to the lowest point of the war. The cut in beef production would be borne almost entirely by civilians, they said, Meantime, farm officials noted that pork production is trailing 20 | per cent behind last year with prospects of an even greater reduction.
