Planting stock purchased with these funds must be used to provide maximum benefits to wildlife popula tions. To accomplish these benefits, regulations require that quality planting stock be purchased and that it be properly handled, planted and cared for during its ef fective life.

Then Stu Nielsen, the only effective hitter at' the cutset, broke the team in front with a fielder away from the four tied scores in the first quarter. That Bellevus was cold and couldn't hit the basket much probably saved the Devils, who couldn't get. the ball to sink.
