Thus, a rise in the present cattle population of 82 million would put it close to 1945's alltime high of 85.5 million. The spring pig crop of 63.5 million, a gain of 3,500,000 over 1950, is expected to be the second best on record, though well below 1943's peak of 74 million. At a meeting last week with...
