The Sources of Animal Products J7 E. The United States as a seller of meat. 1. The United Kingdom and Germany are two great importers of meat. From what three countries do they purchase their chief supplies? If it were not for the heavy exports of bacon, lard, and ham, our country would not rank high as an exporter of meat. Why does the United States specialize in exporting these three meat products? Although there has been an increase at certam times, our exports of meat are on the whole decreasing. Why? Why are they likely to decrease still more? F. How transportation facilities affect meat-growing regions. 1. The export of salted beef from Argentina is decreasing. What does this fact indicate as to the growth of railroad facilities? What has the invention of the refrigerator car had to do with the exceedingly rapid growth of Chicago? As a country increases in population, the sheep raisers are forced back to make way for the dairymen and beef-cattle raisers. Why are sheep raised in the places more remote from transportation? G. How the amount of meat consumed indicates the wealth of a people. Some nations are too poor to eat meat except as an occasional luxury. Even among nomads such as the Turkomans, Mongols, and Arabs the amount is far less than is usually supposed ; for such people dare not eat many of their animals, lest they have too few to keep up the herds and flocks. or to exchange for flour and other necessities that must be bought. Fig. 76. All meat animals and all meat products must be examined by government meat in- spectors before they may be sold for food.
