Tucker, Editor Subscription Price - - $1.00 s Entered as second class mail 1 matter at the post office at Page- 5 land, S. C., und?r Postal Act ! of March 3, 1879. October, 4 1916 ( Sandstorms in the spring have become a menace to young croos on clean sandy land, and the thoughtful farmer is endeav oring to find a way to protect his young cotton and other crops from the hard winds which blow from the west or southwest at that season of the year. It is not unusual to see whole fielus and many of thdm where the small cotton has been blown to pieces or wrapped up wi th sand. ; The opinion of those who have made close observations is that plenty of humus in the land will largely overcome this trouble. This then is another of the many splendid reasons why every acre should be growing something during the winter. There are vetch, rye, oats, wheat, several kinds of clover and a number of other cover crops which may be grown in winter. Don't have anv idle acres. ^ IS A WOMAN A CITIZEN The Chesterfield Advertiser in discussing the action' of the Winthrop college authorities in awarding the Chesterfield coun- , ty scholarship to Miss Houser who is said to have been in the county only temporarily makes the following statements: ^ I4W* J a 1 I Hf !.. we uu iiui uegruuge .vuss Houser a scholarship at Winthrop. She is doubtless a worthy student and ambitious, but ^ we do say that she ought to have tried for this scholarship in the county in which she was educa- ^ ted and was making her home. ?funrpftnd~Super g intendent Rouse and Mr. Swearingen for the stand taken by them in this matter and only re- 8 gret that they have no authority to safeguard the county scholar ships, though they are partiv ^ paid for bv tax monev, Chesterfield paving its pro rata share. - ? "There is one phase of this question that ought to occasion ^ serious thought. The word "cit izenship" is freely used in these ^ discussions. It is said and re- ^ peated that she had not established a "citizenship" in Chesterfield r County, Now what we want to know is how could she establish a citizenship in this or any other county? So far as we have been able to learn "citizenship" does not apply to women at all. , Only men are "citizens," if we are not mistaken. Women are c only women. Apparently our ^ wise lawmakers have not thought' it worth while to take note of ? women when prescribing the ^ length of time a residence is required in order to establish a citizenship. ^ "We fail to see that the ques tion of citizenship can enter this discussion because we are not . talking about citizens but J women." It is with the last t\yo para- s graphs of the above that we de-? I sire to take issue. That "Only c / men are citizens" is contrary to our understanding of the term s and to the definition given in ( the best dictionaries. A citizen t ''a member of a state,* a person, native or naturalized, of either sex, who owes allegiance to a government and is entitled to ^ reciprocal protection from it" , VT f-. ' auya me iNewimernauonal. , The ballot is by no means necessary to citizenship. This n young lady was a citizen of the , county while she made her ' home in it, but the Winthrop authorities should require applicants to be citizens of a coun- ] 4 > y for a definite time. It isn't J accessary to have legislative ac:ion to define citizensnip. Any person bom in the United States e >r any naturalized person be- c :omes a citizen of a coynty y when he or she moves into it $ and makes it home. No stated time must elapse before citizenship is established.

The seed stalk should be rom 8 to 10 feet tall. 2. The base of the stalk hould be large and somewhat lat. .X^-Tho- blades of the stalk hould be broad and long. 4. The seed stalk should taper gently from the base to the tasel. 5. In all prolific varieties here should be at least two fully leveloped ears to each tassel. 6. The ears oa the seed stalk hould be well placed, one on tach side of the stalk, about four eet from the ground. 7. The seed ears should be >orne upon short stout shanks I our to five inches long that I >ermit the ears to hang down. I 8. The stalk from which seed I ;ars are to be selected should - lot occupy more than normal oom, should not stand at the snd of skips nor at the end of a ow. Select a stalk that has ought its way out and won. 9. Every stalk in the vicinity if the seed stalk should be well ruited. If barren cr weak stalks tand near a normal stalk, the iars from the normal stalk will | lot be suitable for seed. 10. Be careful to select stalks hat are free from disease and hat do not stand near diseased talks. 11. It will be noticed in gong thru the field that those stalks hat "lay bv" last, or that remain trowing despite wet or dry pells, are the ones that bear t^e leaviest ears. This persistent is certainly to be desired. 12. Every seed ear should be nugly covered by the husk.? J A. Cobb, Mississippi Agriculural College.
