USDA Examines Forestry Incentives Program Reach
The USDA and ASCS are evaluating the 1974 Forestry Incentives Program to assess its impact on timber supply and federal cost. Virginia Short explains the study, which will inform program adjustments and reports to Congress. The two-part evaluation includes short-term chip counts of 16 000 investments and long-term growth cost effectiveness, with eligibility limited to private forest owners up to 500 acres who meet productivity standards and have had no recent commercial harvest under FIP.

Blood Donors Sought Here In Bell County Friday
Medic staff will be at two Bell County locations Friday August 29 to sign up blood donors as new members. In Middlesboro a green and white van will park at Village Square Shopping Center entrance. In Pineville a van will be on Court House square opposite Morgan's Drug Store from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Executive director Tom Brinson hopes many Medic friends visit to recruit members and raise awareness of the volunteer blood program. He notes area members help keep supply up and prices down, citing local loans on blood costs versus higher prices elsewhere.

Al Ullman and liberal allies seek extending 1977 and 1975 cuts, broadened minimum tax rules, and higher standard deductions with credits. Administration wary, wants October decision.
