MORE PORK AND VEAL LESS BEEF EATEN 1939 Consumption of meats in Canada in 1939 per head of population is official­ ly estimated at 118-9 lb., an increase of more than two lb. per head over the 1938 consumption. With reference to individual commodities, more pork, veal and lard and less beef were con­ sumed in 1939 than in 1938, The con­ sumption of mutton and lamb remain­ ed unchanged. The consumption of pork per head of population in 19391 Is placed at 52 lb., an increase of 4.2 lb. on the previous year; veal con­ sumption rose from 11.8 lb. in 1938 to 21,1 lb. per head in 1939, and lard, at 5.8 lb. per head showed an increase of nearly lYs lb. over 1938. Beef consumption declined from 51.6 lb, per head of population in 1938 to 49 lb. per head in 1939. Although the total output of cattle in Canada, in 1939 showed an increase over 'that of 1938, exports of cattle during 1939’ were almost double those of 1938. The consumption of mutton and lamb at 5.8 lb. per head of population was the same as in 1938, which in turn was one lb. less than in 1937. It is expected, says the official report, that during the next three or four years consumption of beef will continue to decline. While the numbers of' cattle are continuing to increase on Canad­ ian farms, the present tendency is to withhold stock from market for the purpose of building up herds. Pork consumption during 1940 will probab­ ly be even greater than in 1939. A very considerable increase in produc­ tion over 1939 has taken place, and, although exports 'to the United King­ dom have increased, there will be a, large supply of pork available for Canadian consumers.
