Record Forest Receipts
Thirty-nine states and the
Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico will divide a record
amount of almost $llB
million as their share of over
|470 million received bjTthe
Forest Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
from the many uses of the
National Forest System
lands.
This year’s record receipts
exceeded the previous all
time high attained last year
by more than $l5 million.
Receipts in fiscal year 1973
totalled $455.2 million, with
$ll4 million dispersed to the
states.
By law, the money must be
used for public schools and
public roads.
The $117,958,035 returned
to the states this year
represents 25 percent of the
receipts from grazing,
recreation, minerals and
other land-use charges as
well as from the sale of
timber from the 155 National
Forests across the country
during the fiscal year ending
last June 30.
Checks from the 25 percent
fund have been sent to the 39
states and Puerto Rico for
disbursement to counties in
which National Forests are
located.
The price
of alfalfa is
Good alfalfa hay is worth more than it was last year, especially if
it’s good quality, and free of weeds.
You can get rid of most of the weeds in your alfalfa fields
including cheatgrass, tansymustard, henbit, chickweed, and
Russian thistle —with one spray of Princep® herbicide, this fall.
Princep will keep most annual weeds out of your alfalfa, so next
year’s crop will be worth more. Just spray it on after last cutting
this fall. And next year, when you’re cutting better hay, you’ll be
glad you did.
Princep for clean alfalfa.

Christmas, and Easter
dinners, the turkey has often
been overlooked for non
holiday menus.
Scientists points out that
the big bird is one of the
better buys for today’s
consumer. Tailor-made from
the standpoint of protein, fat,
and calories, the turkey
provides one of the best high
quality meat proteins on the
market.
“All turkey” hot dogs,
unheard of a year or so ago,
are now becoming fairly
common-place in many
supermarkets. And fresh
turkey steaks also are
cropping up alongside T
bones in some meat
markets.
Other products being in
troduced to the consumer
include turkey ham, salami,
pastrami, bologna, jerky,
and even bacon.
Turkey products provide
some distinct nutritional and
economic advantages to the
consumer, according to
scientists.
Since turkeys have a more
efficient system for con
verting plants into human
food, their meat will always
be more economical than
other sources. They require
fewer pounds of feed per
pound of gain.
Nutrient values of turkey
meat include higher protein
content along with lower fat
and cholesterol.
