Factory output was 4,705,039 cwt., which was 170,000 cwt more than in the previous year, and 84,000 cwt. more than the previous peak year of 1934-35.

Bacon and ham production had remained fairly stable at just over 70,000,0001 b a year, but pork production had increased greatly. In 10 years, since the depression, it had increased by more than 100 per cent over 80,000,0001 b. ___
