Almost everyone has some
names on the Christmas gift
list followed by big question
marks. How about something
made in your own kitchen,
something they can enjoy and
share during the traditional
holiday meal
Prepare something special
such as cranberry jelly. How
simple it is to make with
cranberry juice, which is in
abundant supply now.
To make six half-pints, mix
:i'u' cups cranberry juice
cocktail with one 2'i ounce
package of powdered fruit
pectin in a large kettle. Begin,
to cook, and stir until boiling.
At that point, immediacy s^.VF
in 4 cups of sugar. Then bring
the mixture to a full rolling
boil, and boil it hard for two
minutes, stirring constantly.
Next, remove the mixture
from the heal and stir in 11 cup
of lemon juice. Skim off the
foam as the jelly begins to cool,
and pour into hot sterilized jars
and seal. It is a good idea to put
a towel or rack under the jars
as you pour to avoid possible
breakage due to sudden
temperature change. A quar-
ter inch of melted paraffin
poured on top makes an
excellent seal.
That's all there is to it. Your
homemade jelly is now ready
for cousin Gertrude, or your
own holiday table, as you
prefer.
As an interesting variation,
you might like to include
another favorite fall flavor in
,.yaur choking, apd , make
cranberry apple jelly by
substituting 3' a cujjs of cran-
berry-apple drinic for the
cransberry juice cocktail.
Perhaps you might like this

In talking with some of our
beef producers last week, they
expressed the feeling that
meat prices haven't come
down proportionatily to live
pattle prices. For example,
last week's Livestock Market
Report showed finished steers
selling for around 39c a pound
out of the feedlots. These
animals will dress 55 to 60
percent, which is reflected in
the wholesale carcass price of
about 67c a pound for choice
steers. Wholesale price for a
choice hindquarter was 71 to
84.5 cents per pound.
Producers are expressing
concern that high feed prices
and high fertilizer and fuel
prices, coupled with shortages
of fertilizer and fuel, may put
the price cost squeeze on the
cattleman to the point profit-
ability will again be question-
able.
Consumers should also take
a look at live beef prices and
prices they pay for meat in the
store and be aware that
processing, transportation and
marketing may get more of
their dollar than the producer
does

That's what International Paper
Company's well-managed forests
provide in addition to crops of
trees.
We are very much interested
in the future of wildlife and are
aware of the recreational value
you place on these lands.
At IP, our forest management
practices include comprehensive
wildlife management programs
greatly benefitting the outdoor
sportsman and hunter.
To provide a variety of good
hunting by the public, some of
our acreage is leased to state game
and fish commissions which are
charged with the responsibility
of administration and wildlife
management activities in the
interest of public hunting. Some
other areas are leased specifically
to hunting and fishing clubs. In
addition, we have company game
management areas, which require
special hunting permits.
Hunters who frequent our fee
hunting areas can well appreciate
the nominal charge and the bene-
fits derived from well-protected
and well-managed forests.
IP foresters and wildlife
specialists utilize modern forest
management techniques in our
forests to provide wildlife with an
abundance of food, adequate
cover protection and a variety of
accessible habitat. Timber cutting
practices and prescribed burning
are carried out to the maximum
benefit of the growing of both
timber and wildlife.
We want hunting to be a good
thing on our lands.
