The council’s expenditures
for wool and lamb promotion
during the year ended June
30, 1974, were about $2.2
million and its budget for the
current year is $1.6 million.
The council’s wool
promotion is on a national
basis in cooperation with
other segments of the in
dustry which provide ad
ditional or matching funds.
Lamb promotion now is
concentrated in high lamb
consuming areas. The
promotion activities include
advertising, merchandising,
and education.
Storing Onions
The “at home” life for
mature onions may be
several months, according to
Extension consumer
specialists at The Penn
sylvania State University.
Make sure you store them at
slightly cooler than room
temperature. You may keep
onions in their loosely woven
of open’mesh containers for
several months. At high
temperatures or in high
humidity, they sprout and
decay.
