Quantrill sacking of Lawrence marks Civil War atrocity
The 1863 Lawrence raid led by guerrilla chief Quantrill involved about 250 men crossing from Missouri into Kansas and burning 150 to 200 buildings. Estimates of dead range from 14 to 43, with property damages around 1.5 million dollars. Union unprepared, Order No. 11 depopulated large Missouri frontier counties. The piece also traces Duff Green’s postwar Missouri promotion and politics.

Farmers wage war against bindweed in Scott County
Farmers across Scott County plan demonstrations in early September on controlling bindweed and Johnson grass. The program will cover recognizing bindweed, two control methods clean cultivation and chemicals, with sodium chlorate as the recommended chemical applied by spray or dust. The spray mix requires 3 to 3½ pounds per square rod and 3 gallons per rod, while dust uses three pounds lime to one pound chlorate at least four pounds per rod.

Caution on Sodium Chlorate Use in Land Care
The notice warns that mowing should wait until after application and dead vegetation must be removed first. At least two chemical treatments are needed as seedlings return next year. Sodium chlorate is costly and highly toxic, creating fire hazards if exposed to clothing or dry materials. Wash clothing and gear after use and keep stock away from treated areas.
