Advantages Outweigh Drawbacks For Lukfata Reservoir Project
The Army Corps of Engineers finds the Lukfata Reservoir on the Glover River would bring flood control and secure water supply, with costs estimated at 179 million dollars over 100 years and annual benefits of 1.55 million. Adverse impacts include habitat loss, altered aesthetics, and disruption of free-flowing stream advocates. The draft statement flags a later revision after an April 25 hearing in Oklahoma City and notes impacts on a Boy Scout ramp and local fishing.

Turkey Crop On Increase In 1971 And Outlook For 1972
The Agriculture Department reports 1971 turkey production at 120.1 million birds, a close second to 1967’s 126.6 million, with a record $501 million in value and farm prices averaging 22.1 cents per pound. California led output with 16.8 million birds, followed by Minnesota and North Carolina, while producers in 20 top states planned a slight gain for 1972. A separate USDA release notes a shift toward contract farming and vertical integration, rising to 22 percent of output by 1970 from 4 percent in 1960, with livestock and poultry showing the strongest growth. Also noted is an intensified fight against screwworms, including a stepped-up sterile-fly program to control the pest along the U.S.-Mexico buffer zone.
