However, FDA officials believe the market will be steadied at the support price by recent developments which include the inauguration of FDA purchasing programs in the Northeastern and Southeastern states and the g operaresumption of tions in five Midwestern plants two at Omaha, one each at Crete and Grand Island, Nebraska, and egg-dryin- Sious City, Iowa. Egg production, of course, is heading into its normal peak season. FDA estimates three production months for March, April and May, with each month topping 20,000,000 cases. Total 1944 production is scheduled at 169,260,000 cases, or nearly 3 per cent above 1943's record output.

Approximately 70 per cent of the ships built were fighting craft and 30 per cent cargo vessels. In addition to the amazing production record of new ships, Bethlehem yards also repaired, converted and serviced 7,000 vessels, thus playing a major role in keeping our fighting fleets in trim.

Hogs Follow Hogs To Market y The biggest hog run in recent years the largest since inauguration of direct marketing was recorded January 3 at 12 principal markets. The number of hogs offered for sale totaled 217,200, compared with 142,400 a week earlier and 83,900 a year ago. The heavy movement may give impetus to permit quota systems at other points beside South St. Paul and Sioux City. At these markets, permit quotas have been divided up among commission firms on the basis of the previous year's business. Cooperation in this voluntary system has been an important factor in promoting orderly marketing. 000-to- 1,620-to- n set-asid- e, housing projects.

Ifalne of Slis y2'3 program cpaivalcssf to ''H j ,J ship a day," with a number to spare, was the record production delivered by Bethlehem in 1943 to the United States Navy, the British Navy and the U. S. Maritime Commission. This program was the greatest in magnitude and diversity ever accomplished by a private builder in the world's history. It marked the fulfillment of a promise made by Bethlehem a year ago to build in 1943 an average of "a ship a day" of major fighting and cargo craft. The list of ships includes aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, virtually every type of fighting as well as a large number of Liberty ships and other cargo vessels. In addition, Bethlehem ship craft, repair yards converted, repaired, and serviced over 7,000 vessels, a vital contribution toward keeoing the Allied fleets in fighting trim. Measuring the program by Liberty ships, a battleship is equal to forty Liberty ships; and the value of the year's work in Bethlehem's shipbuilding division was the equivalent of over 1,000 Liberty ships. Part of National Program Bethlehem Is permitted to publish these facts as part of our country's total program. Led by the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Maritime Commission, America's shipbuilding in 194 has been a national triumph of production. We salute our fellow shipbuilders and their distinguished records. We thank our thousands of suppliers whose efforts have been essential to our contribution. We congratulate the men and women in the Bethlehem organization, in shipyards, steel plants, factories, mines, and in every division, all of whom have had a part in this effort. Harder Task Ahtad The year's work in Bethlehem's shipyards, steel mills and other departments has been done by 300,000 men and women. More will be needed. Already a larger shipbuilding task has been assigned to us for 1944. We shall undertake that job with the knowledge that it must be done, . at maximum pace, to hasten the day of Victory. 33 TFES Program 70 30 OF SHIPS Fighting Craft' Cargo Bethlehem's total wartime shipbuilding program includes approximately 1,000 fighting and cargo ships, 70 of the program being in fighting craft, and 30 in cargo.
