Missouri lawmakers invite farmers to help author new agricultural code
In Jefferson City farmers are invited to help draft Missouri's new agricultural code under the revamped Department of Agriculture. Senate Chairman Williams and House Chairman Endres urge farm leaders statewide to submit ideas, aiming for a bipartisan, knowledge based department free from politics. A separate report notes a $250,000 error in Highway 67 resurfacing due to eight foot under water after the Wappapello Dam, with residents affected until federal fixes. A bipartisan state park board bill advances to the governor to restore state parks with about $400,000 yearly funding. A marriage license reform bill sets ages at 21 for men and 18 for women without parental consent, and a minimum age of 15 with court order. Night sessions may aid regular legislation before June.

Worm to the Worms Himmler’s Buried in Secret Woods
The burial of Heinrich Himmler occurred in a German forest last Saturday after he died from poisoning. A British soldier voiced the only requiem, “Let the worm go to the worms,” as his body lay two days at a villa. An intelligence officer dumped the corpse in a truck, buried it secretly, and removed the grave’s marks. One proposed epitaph called Himmler “the first rat in history to poison itself.”
