...cattle, hogs-dropped sharply last spring, record harvests are anticipated and the surge in agricultural exports that did much to boost U.S. food prices last year is now waning (TIME, July 1). Yet only a few grocery prices -for poultry, eggs, dairy goods and some cuts of beef and pork-have come down significantly. On average, retail food prices rose .9% in May, a month during which wholesale food prices dropped .6%. During the first quarter of 1974, the prices that farmers got for all the ingredients going into white bread fell 32%-but the store price for the finished...

...cattle industry-a statement that might make keepers of family food budgets wonder how serious the Government is about fighting inflation. Washington suited a number of actions to Butz's words. The Government announced that it would step up purchase of as much as $100 million worth of pork and beef and store it for use in school lunch programs. Butz himself threatened to recommend "drastic action" against Canada-such as curbing egg imports-unless that nation drops its recent ban on U.S. beef from steers fed a growth hormone that is prohibited there. He also tried to persuade...
