It will be observed that more than half of the frozen beef was 
stored in the North Central East section. Approximately 15 per cent 
was stored in the Middle Atlantic section and 19 per cent in the North 
Central West section! The sections of New England, South Atlan- 
tic. South Central, and Western North and South held only 13.3 
per cent of the total holdings. These latter sections held approxi- 
mately 10 per cent of the holdings of cured beef, approximately 45 
per cent being stored in the North Central East and 3.4 in the North 
Central West section. Approximately 14 per cent was stored in the 
Middle Atlantic section.
