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.

Twelve Suggestions On Select- I
ing Seed Corn in The Field I
TL!_ 11 1
tnis ran
1. 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.?

How Not to Make a Town splf
From the correspondence of Toi
an exchange the following truths neo
are taken: fort
"You can't build up a town bv spir
simply cramming a few goods fajt]
in a hole on the sidewalk and jU(jj
then sitting yourself down at the cve
entrance to watch and wait for (jev
a customer to happen along and t|le
