Scout for Striped Blister Beetles: Toxins Deadly to Horses Striped blister beetles, which can be toxic to horses, are being seen in high numbers in alfalfa in some areas of the state, said University of Missouri Extension entomologist Wayne Bailey. The beetles produce a compound called cantharidin that remains toxic in alfalfa hay for at least four to five years after harvesting. Adult beetles generally do not appear in the first cutting of alfalfa. Risk exists mostly in second and third cuttings. Beetles appear in alfalfa, soybean and weed patches in July and August after emerging from the soil. They range in length from 1/2 to 1 inch. They are easily recognized by their characteristic stripes and shape and prominent “neck” area. Bailey said striped blister beetle problems appear following years with large numbers of grasshoppers. This happens because at an immature stage, striped blister beetles feed on grasshopper egg pods in the soil. “There will be high
numbers of striped blister beetles after a year of high grasshopper numbers,” Bailey said. They move quickly in packs to protect themselves and to mate. “They drop to the ground as a protective behavior,” Bailey said, and they scurry when they perceive a threat. Striped blister beetles move quickly between fields of soybean and alfalfa, so scout alfalfa frequently to determine pest numbers, Bailey said. Damage to alfalfa is minimal, but risk to horses increases when large numbers of beetles are found in small areas of a field. They earn their name because they can cause blisters on the skin of humans and in the mouths of animals. The oily, caustic cantharidin in striped blister beetles can cause animals to become sick or die. Bailey said studies from university researchers indicate that it takes between 25 to 225 striped blister beetles consumed in a 24-hour period to
be lethal, depending on the size of the horse. Striped blister beetle problems are not new to Missouri. Problems mainly occur due to changes in harvesting equipment and methods. Signs of poisoning vary greatly, said Tim Evans, veterinary toxicologist with the MU College of Veterinary Medicine. Signs include sores of the mouth and tongue, and abnormal breathing with jerking of the diaphragm. Horses may try to relieve the burning sensation by putting their muzzle and lips in water, and blowing bubbles in the water. They also may paw and stretch often to reduce abdominal discomfort. Animals may urinate more often than normal and urine may be blood-tinged. Diarrhea may contain blood, mucus or sloughed intestinal lining.

Attorney General Koster Visits La Plata
-Home Press Photo by Randy Bunch
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster urged Show-Me State voters to cast their Aug. 5 ballots in favor of Amendment 1, the Missouri Farming Rights
amendment, during a two-day farm tour held July 23-24. Representatives from the Missouri Farmers Care coalition and Missouri’s major agricultural organizations joined Koster on his farm stops in Springfield, Webb City, La Plata, Taylor and Cape Girardeau. At each visit, Koster discussed Amendment 1, the constitutional amendment that would protect farmers’ ability to raise crops and livestock today and into the future. “I understand why Missouri farmers desire the protection of our state’s constitution,”
Koster said. “Passage of this amendment will continue to allow agriculture to be subject to reasonable regulation in our state. But future regulations must serve an important state interest and may not be arbitrary or prejudicial in nature. Agriculture is our state’s foremost industry. As one of Missouri’s leading exports, it is how we dialogue with the international business world. And our state must always remain competitive in that global discussion. For these reasons, I support Amendment 1.” Koster joins a strong, bipartisan list of po-
litical leaders endorsing the important ballot measure. The constitutional amendment is supported by the Missouri Farmers Care coalition, a partnership including more than 40 statewide agricultural organizations and thousands of farm families. “Agriculture is the top economic driver in the state and it is vital we protect farmers from outside special interests trying to tell us how to raise our animals and crops,” said Don Nikodim, Missouri Farmers Care chairman. “This amendment gives agriculture another line of defense in
future arbitrary issues and we thank Attorney General Koster for his ongoing support.” Amendment 1 has also been approved by a number of prominent organizations including the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, Missouri Grocers Association and Columbia Chamber of Commerce. While not members of Missouri Farmers Care, these groups recognize the important role agriculture plays in our state. A full list of endorsing organizations and individuals is available online at www.MoFarmersCare.com.

All eligible donors are encouraged to give to help maintain the summer blood supply and prevent a shortage. Donors of all blood types are currently needed, especially those with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood. How to donate blood:
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Blood Drive in Honor of Kirksville Child Blood drive for Jersey Jo Montgomery scheduled Aug. Aug. 21.
A frightening start to the life of a child is the driving force behind a local effort to help save the lives of other patients in need. Family and friends of 3 year-old Jersey Jo Montgomery are joining the American Red Cross and Preferred Family Healthcare to host the Friends of Jersey Jo Blood Drive on Aug. 7. At just one month old, Jersey Jo was diagnosed with a respiratory syncytial virus, more commonly known as RSV. The
condition caused Jersey Jo’s heart rate to rise rapidly, resulting in difficulty breathing. After being taken to the hospital, Jersey Jo was given a blood transfusion, which caused her heart rate to slow down and her breathing to return to normal. “I don’t really know how it worked, but it worked,” said Heather Montgomery, Jersey Jo’s mother. “The blood transfusion helped save her life.” Now Heather hopes to return the favor. “Someone out there helped save my baby’s life. Now it’s my turn to help do the same for someone

Grasshopper Numbers Growing in Missouri Farmers should scout and, if needed, spray for grasshoppers now, said University of Missouri Extension entomologist Wayne Bailey. Grasshoppers are reported in almost every county in the state, he said. “Numbers of small grasshoppers are exceedingly high this year in many areas of Missouri and insecticide application may be needed for control,” Bailey said. Insecticides can kill most small grasshoppers easily. Apply insecticide on borders of fields and crop

rows at this time to reduce numbers before grasshoppers move into crop fields. It is unusual for grasshoppers to be seen this early in the season in soybean fields, Bailey said. Earlyseason control becomes even more important if predictions for a dry endof-season come true, he said. Grasshoppers feed first on grasses and weeds in noncrop areas. When conditions are dry, grasshoppers travel from field borders to crop areas to find more green leaves, Bailey said. They can quickly strip

The Seibert Club The Seibert Club of La Plata, met Wednesday, July 9, 2014, at the home of Irene Osborn. President Irene opened the meeting and Kathy East led in prayer. Five members answered roll call with “Women who interest me.” Secretary Kathy read the minutes and they were approved. Treasurer Leila Ward reported $21.50 was collected in June and there is a balance of $163.48. Courtesy Chairman Dora Lovingier is nearly out of stamps and Leila will purchase a book of stamps for her. Under New Business, there was a discussion of where to go for our Birthday Party in August, since we usually go to a restaurant. Marsha Yahl will check on the possibility of meeting at Maxwell’s (a new Kirksville restaurant). If it is not available, other arrangements will be made. “Hostess with the Mostest” was conducted by Irene. Everyone drew a piece of paper and everyone had a “happy face”, so we were all winners! Leila received a pocket calendar; Kathy and Marsha received note pads, and Dora received note cards. Dora reported seeing Hazel Hiles’ daughter, Betty
Tucker, recently. The Club Collect was repeated. Kathy East was in charge of the Devotions, and used the “Prayer of a Kansas Pastor,” given at the opening session of the Kansas Senate, and also “With Deep Regret and Gratitude.” Kathy also gave the program with a reading, “What a Beautiful Lady,” and “Why Go to Church.” Pamela Murphy, widow of WWII hero and actor, Audie Murphy, was indeed a beautiful lady who is now deceased. She worked tirelessly 35 years as a patient liaison at the Sepulveda Veterans Administration Hospital and treated every veteran who came to the facility as if they were a VIP! Kathy closed with, “Why Go To Church.” Everyone adjourned to the dining room where we worked on an “Inspiration Word Search.” Dora was the winner and received a roll of paper towels. The hostess served delicious refreshments of ice cream cake with red, white, and blue trim, red and blue Jello stars, nuts, snack mix and various beverages. The rest of the afternoon was spent visiting. The place for the August meeting will be announced. Kathy will be hostess with the devotions and program given by Irene. Roll Call will be “A magazine I take and enjoy.” (Don’t forget to bring the magazine!)
Clarence Chronicles by Patty Truitt
It has been such a busy week that I don’t even know what has been going on with me let alone anyone else. Hope all of you have been enjoying summer. Saturday night I went to a Premier Designs Jewelry show in Macon at the home of my good friend Krista Austin. Krista has a beautiful home and she is the perfect hostess. Everyone who was there is a friend of mine and we all had a great time and I ordered some beautiful pieces. Monday night we picked green beans and I told a friend at work Tuesday that I had to go home and can beans. She told me it was too hot to can. As usual, I said the first thing that came to my mind. I said,” I tried to can in November but the beans just wouldn’t grow.” I did come home and canned. When I can, I think of my Mother canning when I was young. We didn’t have air conditioning and it was so hot. I also spent several years canning without air. I now have central air and I thank God for a very nice kitchen and central air when I get ready to can. Nothing sounds better than the sealing ping of the jars lids. Tuesday I bought the movie “Heaven Is For Real” I have already watched it twice. I saw it when it was at the theater because I loved the book. If you haven’t seen it run get the movie and watch. Just have the tissues ready.
Today my Grandson Derek came over to help us put mulch down on the paths in the back flower gardens. This is a job he has done since he was a kid. It took a lot of hard work and a lot of sweat but we did it. The flowerbeds have been so much work this year and it is my son Raymond’s fault. Back in May, we had a big Honeysuckle vine that grew up the side of our front porch. Our daughter-inlaw Jessica was cutting out all the dead growth in the vine and he said, “As much as is dead you might as well take it out.” Well that sounded like a good idea. At the time. When that trellis came down we had to repaint the porch. Then we had to redo the rose garden beside the porch, and that led to putting a new sidewalk from the porch to the back patio. Then we redid the front garden last week. Well during that time the back flower gardens got away from us so we are weeding and putting down new mulch. Anyone who knows us knows the whole back yard is flowers. Funny thing when you are in your 30’s you want a big house and a big yard. Then you want all kinds of flowers and it is so nice to plant everything, everywhere. Then you are in your 60’s and you say, “What was I thinking?’ Anyway thank you so much Derek for helping us today. Here’s praying all of you have a great week. Patty.

Operation Benchmark American Soybean Association and Farmlink Team up to launch “operation benchmark” helping farmers improve yields through new benchmarking service
The American Soybean Association (ASA) and FarmLink are teaming up to help farmers close the $11 billion gap between what they harvested in 2013 and what they could harvest annually. The two organizations are launching a first-ofits-kind partnership called “Operation Benchmark” that gives producers the opportunity to benefit from FarmLink’s unique benchmarking capability and at the same time supports ASA and state association grower initiatives. The program is available nationally and will be promoted initially in seven of the leading soybean-producing states‹Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Missouri. The service, called TrueHarvest, is a new benchmarking service that for the first time accurately shows farmers the full range of performance potential for fields, down to a 150 square foot microfield level. This, in turn, allows farmers to determine the true potential of their land and to identify where to invest‹or not invest‹to optimize productivity and profitability. The TrueHarvest service provides a baseline that supports the farmers’ and their consultants’ and input providers’ expertise, while still respecting the integrity and privacy of a farmer’s data. “Our members understand that one of the most important tools to increase yields is the application of data to their farming practices,” said ASA Director and Ag Data Working Group Chair Ron Moore, a soybean farmer from Roseville, Ill. “But growers want to make sure their data is applied in such a way to increase their profits and provide greater re-
turns on their investments. We have chosen to partner with FarmLink on this particular initiative because they are independent and completely aligned with growers’ interests.” As part of Operation Benchmark, FarmLink will make contributions to ASA and its affiliated state associations based on participation. FarmLink will also offer incentives to every qualifying grower who purchases the TrueHarvest benchmarking service. The Association funding will be directed toward the valuable education and advocacy efforts ASA conducts to increase the profit potential of U.S. soybean farmers. Further demonstrating the support of this partnership, ASA will extend this offer to existing and new members of the Association, and FarmLink will pay one year of membership dues for all participants. “We appreciate FarmLink’s support of ASA’s membership development efforts and other key initiatives,” said ASA Membership & Corporate Relations Committee Chairman Bob Worth, a farmer from Lake Benton, Minn. “Through this partnership, each farmer who subscribes to the TrueHarvest yield benchmarking service will be able to assess its benefit to his own operation.” “We’re pleased to be working with ASA on this program because they truly understand the importance of data science to the future of agriculture,” said Scott Robinson, President of FarmLink. “For farmers to reach their potential, they first have to define it. TrueHarvest is the first and only benchmarking service to help farmers define the potential of their land and identify opportunities for yield improvement, so they can invest accordingly.” By using the TrueHarvest benchmark, Robinson said, the company conservatively identified $11
billion in unrealized yield potential for U.S. soybean and corn farmers in 2013 alone. Farmers interested in participating can visit www.farmlink.com/Promotion/ASA for more information. ABOUT FARMLINK As an independent company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, FarmLink offers unique services to help farmers maximize their resources through targeted investment. Through its TrueHarvest yield benchmarking service, FarmLink brings to farming the science of benchmarking and establishes a baseline by which to measure the impact of inputs and decisions. With the ability to benchmark all 230 million acres of row crop in the United States, FarmLink partners with farmers to provide precise, detailed and actionable comparisons that inform resource decisions, and help increase productivity and profit. Through MachineryLink’s fleet of rental combines, farmers access the latest technology without the expense or maintenance of ownership, allowing them to invest in more profitable areas of their operations. And that’s just today. FarmLink’s innovation pipeline identifies and creates ongoing opportunities for farmers to use technology and data to better assess and invest in their operations, for today’s needs and tomorrow’s potential. To learn more, go to www. farmlink.com . ABOUT ASA ASA represents all U.S. soybean farmers on domestic and international issues of importance to the soybean industry. ASA’s advocacy efforts are made possible through voluntary farmer membership by farmers in 30 states where soybeans are grown. For more information, visit www.soygrowers.org.
Local Students Attend American Legion Missouri Boys State La Plata Commander David Johnson of American Legion Post 280 recently announced Evan Carter and Kirk Larson from la Plata High School participated in the American Legion Boys State of Missouri program which was help June 14-21 at the University of Missouri in Warrensburg. Each student was nominated by his high school based on his leadership, citizenship, academics and character. Established in 1938, Missouri Boys State is one of the most prestigious youth leadership and citizenship training programs in the nation for high school juniors. During the eightday program, these highly distinguished students will experience government through a “handson learning” approach, enhance their leadership skills, and develop and understanding of their rights and responsibilities as citizens. Boys State is a pure democracy in that all citizens may vote and are eligible to hold office. The program is designed to ed-
C Y
ucate and train Missouri’s young leaders in functional citizenship, leadership and government. Nearly 1,000 student leaders will build an entire state government in a single week. Through their full participation and successfully completion of the program, students are eligible to apply for two or three hours of university credit and many scholarships provided by colleges and universities throughout the state and nation. All students who are nominated to participate in Missouri Boys State and their parents will attend an orientation session conducted by a Boys State representative to learn more about the program. A list of orientation dates, times, and locations may be found on the Boys State website (www. moboysstate.org). Each student selected to attend is being sponsored by an American Legion Post, a business, civic organization/club, school, or individual. Sponsors afford the opportunity for
M K
students to participate in this nationally recognized program and are critical to its continued success. A special thank you is extended to all sponsors. Organizations, businesses, and individuals interested in becoming a sponsor are encouraged to contact the Missouri Boys State Headquarters at 1-877-3425627. The entire Boys State staff is comprised of educational, legal, professional, and civic leaders who volunteer their time each year. Missouri Boys State is a 501(c)(3) organization and is a Missouri American Legion program. Students who will be juniors during the 201415 academic year and are interested in attending the 2015 session (June 1320) should contact their High School Counsellor or visit the Missouri Boys State website at www. moboysstate.org. Attending Girls State were Molly West and Gena Noel.

I intend to write it.” With August 5 rapidly approaching it can be said Missouri farmers and ranchers have every intent of writing history by passing Constitutional Amendment #1—Keep Missouri Farming. For those who wonder what the hullabaloo is about perhaps a history lesson would be useful. Missouri remains an agriculture state with more than 99,000 farms. Agriculture is important to our economy as marketings approaching $10 billion support more than 300,000 jobs. Our food system cannot be taken for granted; it requires a great deal of skill and technology still hasn’t been able to overcome the vagaries of Mother Nature. Amendment #1 will update the Missouri Constitution by stating “the right of farmers and ranchers to engage in farming and ranching practices shall be forever guaranteed in this state.” This sounds simple enough but a group based out of Washington, DC, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is
leading opposition to the language. Again, some history will be helpful. In recent years, HSUS has used the legislative and ballot initiative process to promote their radical animal rights agenda. They have bankrolled campaigns in states including Florida, Arizona, Colorado, California and Connecticut. In 2010, HSUS was successful in placing language on the Missouri ballot aimed at reducing the number of commercial dog breeders. Among other things, Proposition B prohibited ownership of more than 50 female dogs. There was no rhyme or reason for the arbitrary number--it just sounded good at the time. More than $4 million was spent promoting Proposition B in Missouri, and HSUS contributed more than half of the total raised. In fact, more than 80 percent of the funds to promote Proposition B came from outside Missouri. Nearly 75 percent originated in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and California. Proposition B won statewide by less than two percent. It failed in 103 of Missouri’s 114 counties yet passed by large margins in the St. Louis and
Kansas City metropolitan areas. Opponents, including many of the state’s agriculture organizations, were outspent roughly 9 to 1. It came as no surprise HSUS and their East and West coast contributors focused on the metro areas where their large advertising budget could replace a non-existent ground game. The impacts of Proposition B were so bad the Missouri General Assembly was forced to make changes in early 2011. All is not the same for Round #2. Campaign records show HSUS is financing essentially all of the opponents’ campaign efforts. They may well again target large advertising buys in the metro areas as the campaign comes to a close. We anticipated opponents’ use of scare tactics and outright lies. Yet this time, using history as a guide, farmers and ranchers have gone on the offensive and are working together to protect not only themselves but consumers as well. In the end, we believe history will show Missourians stood up for their agricultural heritage and sent a message that grassroots and common sense can indeed trump scare tactics and extremist agendas.

The Shepherd Calls
Obituaries
by Dr. H. Wade Paris
Hummingbirds For years I have hung hummingbird feeders so I can see the birds from inside the house. The speedy little fliers are not only beautiful they are fascinating. They can hover or fly backwards, even upside down and judging by their visits to my feeders, they are quite ravenous. As I watch I wonder if they know I am inside, in an air-conditioned dwelling watching them (with binoculars even) toil in the hot outdoors. If they know, they don’t seem to care. Part of my fascination with the bitsy birds is realizing that like me, they are creatures created by God. God who made elephants and whales also made the humming birds. We humans tend to think bigger is better; but watching the humming bird says, “It ain’t necessarily so.” They are called humming birds because the rapid flapping of their wings, up to 200 times per second, make an audible sound like humming. Again, that puts them high on my list. Some of my favorite people were/are hummers, e.g. my wife, my parents. Another thing I like about the little birds is their stamina. They migrate thousands of miles each year. Given their size, I think that would be like you and me flying back
and forth to the moon. Having observed these God given attributes of my feathered friends, I have also noted they possess some less desirable i.e. humanlike characteristics. They do not seem to get along well. They are always chasing one another. They are quite selfish. They work hard at keeping other hummers from their feeders. Perhaps you are thinking this is a rather trite subject for The Shepherd Calls, but this column is dedicated to finding God in the ordinary everyday stuff. What could be more ordinary than a bird? Then again, what could be more extraordinary than a hummingbird? Think about it, other birds fly and sing; this bird flies backward and hums. I am constantly impressed with God’s creativity. Even more, I am impressed with His attention to detail. I think I can understand God’s attention to the universe, and maybe even His attentiveness to us inept humans, but a tiny hummingbird? If you will allow me to paraphrase, the scripture could just as easily have said God knows every hummingbird that falls. (Matthew 10:29) Once again, a small smidgeon of creation has taught me a large lesson about the Creator.
