Overeas project cut in Missouri budget talks
Missouri lawmakers trimmed an overseas promotion office from an emergency funding bill. The conference panel also reduced funds to upgrade the Revenue Department computer system to 172,166 for improvements, and restored 83,000 for Bicentennial medallions, after debate over revenue and overseas promotion. A Senate investigation of Kansas City Police morale was debated alongside modernization of the General Assembly and school aid reform.

Grow potatoes with straw rather than digging. Plant 1 inch deep or on soil surface, cover with 6 to 8 inches straw, and harvest by brushing straw aside. Prepare soil, fertilize, and plant seed pieces on the surface or in a shallow furrow. Stop at Westlake's Hardware for gardening needs.
