Peace Pipe
Jaloo Zelonis correctly answered
Bill Harrison’s question in the follow
ing way: “The ceremony of smoking
the peace pipe was inaugurated in
1929 by Chester M. Brewer, Mizzou’s
director of athletics, and by members
of Mystical Seven, a University of
Missouri honorary group. The peace
pipe was donated by Mr. R.L. Hill,
an ’M’ man and former president of
the Missouri student body. The cer
emony takes place during halves,
with the Mystical Seven representing
Mizzou, and a similar organization
representing Oklahoma.”
Planting cover crops
enriches, protects soil
This being October, no doubt you
have removed most of your sum
mer vegetable garden, leaving
the ground virtually bare in places. Bare
soil is undesirable to
the home gardener
because of the possibil
ity of erosion caused by
wind and rain and the
leaching of precious
nutrients from the soil.
The gardener’s remedy
is a cover crop. Cover
crops are crops which
are allowed to grow in
the “off season,” cov
ering the bare ground

the early spring, the crop is tilled under
in time for decomposition to occur before
planting. It is time to be thinking about

I just love a parade, so I was in heav

Parade. The boys and I sit at the
same corner every year.
We like that corner because the
Shriners stop there and
race their little cars in
a big circle. I love the
Shriners. They must
really have great self
esteem to wear those
funny little hats and
race around in those
funny little cars and
not be embarrassed.

Cover crops are excellent soil build
ers. They give gardeners several ben
efits. Most importantly, they make soil
nutrients available either by “catching”
soluble nutrients in the soil before they
leach away or by producing nitrogen in
their roots.
Second, cover crops squeeze out weeds
that sprout the same time they do and
shade the ground, preventing the germi
nation of many other pesky weeds.
Third, cover crops improve soil struc
ture and tilth. You may recall that in
a previous article I stated that any soil
could be improved by the addition of
organic matter. Cover crops, when tilled
into the soil, add large amounts of organ
ic matter. Some of them even create
deep channels in the soil from which
the roots of the crops which follow can

have to buy any at the store, as long as
we don’t eat it all up before Halloween.
Also, if we’re really lucky, we get enough
coupons to go to Chick-Fil-A afterwards.
The boys know in order to go out to eat
on a Saturday, we’ve got to have some
really good coupons.
We usually only go out to eat on Sundays
after church. It saves money and also
cuts down on complaints about going to
church since the boys know they’re going
to get to go out to eat afterwards. But,
