January Flowers
I wonder sometimes if common sense in our nation a thing of the past is. At a meeting of outdoor writers some greatly admired turkey hunter who worked for the Forest Products Institute told them all that today there are more trees growing in America today than ever before.
EARTHWORMS
By their activity in the soil, earthworms offer many benefits: increased nutrient availability, better drainage, and a more stable soil structure, all of which help improve farm productivity. Worms feed on plant debris (dead roots, leaves, grasses, manure) and soil. Their digestive system concentrates the organic and mineral constituents in the food they eat, so their casts are richer in available nutrients than the soil around them. Nitrogen in the casts is readily available to plants. Worm bodies decompose rapidly, further contributing to the nitrogen of the soil.

Betty Gaedtke on a day in December

Artist Betty Gaedtke is doing what she can as a one-quarter Quapaw, to rebuild what has been called a dying nation, having lost 80% to smallpox. She has said that her mother was a half-blood and noted the full bloods of the tribe have died. Her mother, now recently gone, was the daughter of the oldest pure blood and her mom was the eldest living half blood.
