...buffalo enthusiast last week. He was planning to ship two more carloads of meat to market this winter, load the rest of his herd into railroad cars and ship them 1,000 miles to his 230-acre Michigan farm. There he hoped to dehorn them, fatten them with corn, sell 100 young animals annually for meat...
Almost no one was surprised when the economists turned out to be right. It was elementary arithmetic. As corn and other feed prices soared, cattle prices climbed from an average of $12.23 a hundred pounds for choice beef in 1941, to 1944's average of about...
Last month, when OPA drew up a tentative order for cattle ceilings and sent it to Economic Stabilizer Fred Vinson for approval, cattlemen were the first to say that not even that could throw them.

Bourbon, the most popular U.S. whiskey, has not been made since October 1942, because of the grain shortage. Distillers will work around the clock in January, have set some 20 million gallons of bourbon as their goal. Another 20 million gallons of neutral spirits, for blending with other whiskies, gins, rums, etc., will also be made. Though most of the holiday's bourbon...
