Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Livestock and livestock products are critical materials. Their production, prices, and distribution are subjects of comprehensive planning and control programs. Development of these programs calls for a large amount of data: To reveal current trends and to show geographic distribution and long-time trends. Properly to evaluate current estimates and reports, it is necessary to relate them to figures for an earlier period. Moreover, current over-all figures can often be made much more meaningful when they are related to the pattern of geographic distribution, which is available from a census. This summary, together with the one on farm crops, by the use of maps and supplementary charts, portrays the quantitative and geographic significance of production of the Nation's food supply.
