Muttl, Asslstaiit Professor of Marketing Per capita supplies of food fats for civilians in 19^p aire the smallest In over 20 years and nearly 10 percent below 19^14-. Chief reason for the decline from 19^^ is the estimated 50 percent lower output of lard. Butter production is the low- est since 1928. Production of vegetable oils during 19^5-^6 from domestic crops of cotton, soybeans and flax is expected to be below that in 19if^-U5, the decline in cot- tonseed being greater than the increases in soybeans and flaxseed. Supplies are expected to continue short for the rest of 19^5- Increases in the first half of I9U6 will depend on lowered military needs for shortening and edible oils, imports of tropical oils emd flaxseed and a seasonally higher output of lard. Lard production will increase further if hogs continue to be marketed at heavier weights. From 1951 through 1939* civilian consumption of butter declined slightly, and margarine consumption increased slightly. These trends have been greatly accentu- ^ ated during the war, although civilians will still consume about 2 3/lf pounds of but- J ter to each pounds of margarine during 19l*5 (see chart).
