Kansas State University extension beef nutritionist Larry Corah notes alfalfa hay at about 50 dollars per ton can supply crude protein more cheaply than alternatives, with higher protein content raising energy and digestible nutrient values.

State Department Welcome For Queen
Richard Queen, a freed American hostage, returned to the State Department in a tearful welcome. Secretary Muskie called it the first step back for the other 52, as Queen shared how he taught himself French and read widely during more than eight months in captivity. He rejected claims the captors were Communists, saying they were zealous Muslims and students. Queen, who has multiple sclerosis, is receiving treatment at Georgetown University Medical Center, after White House talks with President Carter.
