About Our Cotton Crop
Our farmers really got their
cotton land prepared and planted
in a hurry this year. As late as the
middle of April very few of our
cotton farmers had started plow
ing. But the weather turned off
right so that by the end of the
month many folks already were
planting or at least well along
with their planting.
Since soil temperatures were so
slow in warming up, it’s a good
thing we didn’t get to plant any
earlier. Now, if the weather stays
anything like normal, we should
got a good stand. Let’s decr.de now
where to go from here with our
cotton crop.
First don’t be in such a big
hurry to thin out your stand. Most
growers used pre-merge chemicals
at planting so we don’t have to
worry too much about grass. We
suggest waiting at least two
weeks after cotton is; up to a
stand before chopping. Then make
sure you leave 3 to 4 stalks per
hill r:t time of thinning*.
Next plan to fertilize and con
trol insects for high yields of cot
ton. If you didn’t * put down
enough fertilizer at planting time
add some more as ''sidedressing.
We now know thet cotton can use
and should have about 1000
pounds of each of the 3 plant
foods, nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash. This amounts to roughly
1,000 pounds of complete fertiliz
er plus 50 pounds of actual Ni
trogen used in the sidedressing.
Next control insects from the
time the cotton comes up. If you
didn’t plant thimet treated seed
then plan to begin weekly appli
cations of insecticide as soon as
chopping is completed. Find out
more about Clemson’s cotton in
sect control program. This pro
gram tells you how to control cot
ton insects throughout the entire
season with the least number of
poison applications. Now that
you’ve got your cotton planted,
let’s make this a real cotton year.

Soybean Production
Let’s not overlook the possibili*-
ty of adding to our farm income
this year by growing soybeans.
Don’t let last year’s reduced yield
discourage you from growing soy
beans again this year. One good
rain in September last year would
have made a great deal of differ
ence in our harvest of soybeans.
There are several things we like
about growing soybeans. First
there is a ready local market. It’s
also one of the few crops that can
be completely- mechanized from
planting to harvest with present
equipment on most farms. Also
we don’t have to fertilize this crop
as heavily as most other crops
and we don’t have many insect
problems with soybeans. Then too,
we still have^tbo many idle acres
in Newberry County not to take
advantage of this profit oppor
tunity.
There art iwo things highly
important in growing soybeans
First, plant tL right variety at
the right time. j?rom now until
the middle of June plant either
CNS 4, Jackson, Lee or Bienville
variety. For planting after small
grain harvest, plant only the JEW
45 or Yenanda variety. The Lee
Variety in particular should be
planted by May 15th only on good
land. Next, lime is important ’to
success in growing soybeans. Use
at least a ton per acre on land
that has not been limed within the
past three years. Also be sure to
innoculate soybeans at time of
planting. Let’s plan now to plant
more soybeans in Newberry Coun
ty this year!

PEOPLE
Squaring With the Constitution
ONE OF THE major road
blocks to integrationists, usurp
ers of power, and idealists who
are determined to remake the
world overnight is the Constitu
tion of the United States. This
great document was designed
primarily by the Founding
Fathers to preserve liberty, pro
mote stability, and provide self-
government. To insure these
important aims, the Founding
Fathers wrote into the Constitu
tion a proviso that the Constitu
tion, which is the basic law of
the land, could bo changed only
by the process of amendment.
This requires a % vote of the
Congress, with % of the States
ratifying. To circumvent this
obstacle, zealots seeking rapid
changes have resorted to stretch
ing the Constitution by issu
ance of Executive Orders, court
interpretations,, and legislative
enactmenta.
FOR YEARS it has been a
popular political sport to shoot
at State qualifications for vot
ing, particularly the literacy
tests which are designed to in
sure that in governing ourselves
in this novel experiment in gov
ernment, the Constitutional Re
public, votes are cast intelli
gently. After all, the Founding
Fathers assumed in setting up
this system of self-goverament
that the people would be cap
able of exercising responsibly
this great power entrusted to
them.
IN FACT, this is why in giv
ing a federal right to vote in
federal elections, the Founding
Fathers limited that right by
giving the States, in two places
—a third was added in 1913 in
the 17th Amendment—the pow
er to fix voter qualifications.
Acting under this authority, 21
States, 14 outside the South, to
day have literacy tests of some
type. In South Carolina a per
son can either own $300 in prop
erty or demonstrate ability to
read and write portions of the
Constitution.
THOSE FAVORING the abo
lition of literacy tests first tried
to get the Supreme Court to
rule them out on the grounds
that they constituted a viola
tion of the 15th Amendment,
which provides that a person
will not be denied the right to
vote because of “race, creed, or
color.” As late as 1958, how
ever, even the Court recognized
that literacy tests are constitu
tional as they “are neutral on
race, creed, color, and sex.”
HAVING FAILED there, the
anti-literacy test advocates have
caused the Senate to be locked
in extended debate over the
question of whether the Con
gress can, by statute, set' the
standard that a sixth grade edu
cation is sufficient to meet any
State literacy test requirements.
They are resorting to the legis
lative stretch, which Attorney
General Robert Kennedy has
justified principally on the
grounds of expediency. He was
very frank to tell the Senate
Judiciary Committee that “the
question is not whether this bill
is valid, but whether it would
correct the situation.”
THE SITUATION he de
scribes is his problem in en
forcing the numerous federal
criminal statutes—not to men
tion the civil remedies—now on
the books for protection of the
federal right to vote. The Attor
ney General, the Civil Rights
Commission, and others opposed
to literacy tests have cited largo
figures about voter deprivations
in the South to justify this leg
islation. In fact, the Attorney
General sent teams of investi
gators into South Carolina last
year to probe for evidence of
voter deprivations, but to date
there have been no prosecutions.
If any person is being denied
the right to vote solely on the
grounds of race, then the At
torney General can prosecute or
the aggrieved person can sue—
or the Attorney General can sue
in his behalf under the 1957
Civil Rights Act—to protect
that right under the 15th
Amendment.
THE ATTORNEY General
may be willing to change the
Constitution by statute instead
of amendment for purposes of
expediency or politics, but the
U. S. Senate will not go along
with his proposal to do so. This
will be the principal reason why
% of tlie Senators present and
voting will not apply cloture to
shut off debate on this impor
tant constitutional point.

divinity school and the Harvard
University graduate school, spec
ializing in ancient Semitic lang
uages, mostly in Babylonian and
Assyrian. From Harvard he holds
the A.M. and the Bacheloi of
Theology degrees. He spent a
year at Yale university where he
fulfilled all requirements for the
Ph.D. degree and went to London
to work at the British museum on
an ancient Arabic manuscript
dealing with Medieval Mcslem
Philosophy and Theology. While
there he was called home by his
father’s illness, and became pro
fessor first at the Coptic Patria-
chal college in Cairo, Egypt and
later at the Greek Orthodox col
lege, also in Cairo.
During his stay in Egypt he also
used to go to a Concentration
camp for German and Austrian
war prisoners to conduct Sunday
services. In the long summer va
cations he attended the Evangeli
cal Theological Faculty of the
University of Tuebingen, Germany
and the Philosophical Faculty of
the University of Vienna.
After the inflation of currency,
following the first World War, he
returned to this country where
he has been living off and on,
preaching and lecturing on Near
Eastern Affairs for the Henley
Lecture Bureau in Boston. He
taught German at the Cambridge
School, a preparatory school
mainly for students who wanted
to enter Harvard university or the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. He came South in search
of a more suitable climate, stay
ing with his sister in Winston-
Salem, J*. <3., when calls to tepch
came from Converse and Wolford.
Professor Cooke has travelled
all over Africa, Europe, Asia (as
far as Ceylon, North America,
South America, especially Brazil
where a sister of his lives in the
city of San Paula.
He is very appreciative of all
the kindnesses shown him by the
citizens of Newberry, by the presi
dents of Newberry College, its
faculty and students.
Mrs. Maude Griffith Smith, 87,
