Do NOT BURN
GRASS AND STUMBLE
Demonstration Agent Outlines Plan
for Land Now Covered With
Grass and Weeds.

Owing 10 the continued rains since |
near the first Of November last there /
has not been a time when the farmers I
could get into the fields TO do any fall |
or winter blowing. Nothing Ike half
the fall and winter oats planted that
would have been had the ground been
In fix. The fact that this fall blowing
has not been done is very much 10 be
regretted because there never was
better crop Of Vegetable matter in the
fields than there was last fall. II this
blowing could have been done while
this matter was green It would have
added very materially to the strength
and fertility Of the soil and would have
added greatly to the yield OF this
years crop. ! am very frequently
asked this question: "lnasmuch as
THIS green stun could not be plowed
under during the fan and as a great
deal OF the land is still covered with
this grass which is now dead and dry,
how is the best way TO get rid Of this
grass? Since II is so late, will it not
be hes, to burn IL of so as TO get the
land clear to pillow well?" My answer
to this question would be, No, Never
burn grass or anything else off the
land that needs to be made better.
Better far to lose one whole crop than
to keep burning of the grass and
other trash and impoverishng your
land But there is no need Of losing
the crop.
would suggest that you 90 Just as
soon as you can get into the fields
and pillow these grassy places, turn
ing under every sprig Of the dead
grass and there let 1t lie until April,
when you can plant II in any late
crop. such as field peas, peanuts, Su-
dan grass, feterita, milo maize or cot
ton. BY the time this crop will need

decayed and out of the way. The
deeper this grass is buried the sooner
II will rot and the further out of the
way It will be of the cultivating plows,
and the deeper it is covered the more
II will add to the fertility of the soil
and the better it will aid in the con
servation of your summer moisture
Hence my advice is to pillow with the
d largest pillow that you have and let II
well in the ground so as to cover as
completely as possible all this dry
4, grass, which is sure to give you
trouble in cultivation of your crops
in case you leave 1t near the surface
I again, in conclusion of this LITTLE
e article, admonish you not to burn thu
n grass or anything else in the field, be
cause the future of this country de
ponds more in the long run on wha
you put into the soil than II does OF
what you take off and out of the soil
Don't burn the grass.

Fault Not With the Court"

" Wilmington Dispatch.
Certainly il is disappointing to the
women and to those men who believe
in fair play that the Supreme Court
handed down an opinion declaring
unconstitutional the Legislative act
permitting women to be notaries. or
course, the fault, or error is not with
the court. because that tribunal de-
Cldes matters upon the law involved.
That is what the court is for and 1t
l. 20 it's credit that it remains strict
~ in it's sphere. If the people want
different conditions they must provide
4 different guide post, in the way of a
different Constitution, either in part
O. rs a whole, with the State possessed
of a learned court, that protects the
interests of the people.
But there is no more reason why
women should not be notarieS than
why they should not be clerks, book
keepers. stenographers and the like
Notaries are pert Of the ordinary
business of life. They are needed III
many ways So they are matters ol
business convenience.

Too Much Restriction.

Henderson Gold Leaf
The Gold Leaf, for one. regrets that
under the decision just handed down
by the State Supreme Court woman
cannot hold the office Of notary pub
lie in North Carolina. BLt the court
says, however, that for her to do so
would be unconstitutional. and there
appears to be no other remedy than
to amend the constitution. While the
Gold Leaf is not an advocate of wOm
an suffrage. although it is offering no
opposition to the suffrage movement,
this decision of the Supreme Court
would indicate that our State cOnSti-
tuition is rather too hidebOund and
throws too much restriction around
the usefulness and activities Of wOm-
an. One could hardly imagine any
nicer or more becoming office a wom-
an could hold than that Of a notary
unless it would be that Of member
| of school board. If the rights of
women are so restricted under our
State constitution as is indicated by
| the decision of the Supreme Court,
we do not blame them for kicking up
| a little dust about it.

''NOted With Regret"

kjnStOn Free Press.
The Free Press noted with regret
that the majority Of the State Su-
preme Court had declared the recent
act Of the Legislature, to appoint Wo-
men nOtarieS public, unconstitutional.
StenographerS and business women
generally are as a rule, at their Of
fees more regularly than are the men,
whose work carries them on the out
side considerably. Then, too, the
StenOgrapherS usually have to pre-
pare the papers and do what copying
is necessary in connection with the
notary's work, and it is but right that
they should be permitted to receive
the compensation for the work. The
prevention section Of the Constitu-
ton ought to be removed 1t is OBJ
solete and behind the times. 1t was
drafted perhaps before any women
were engaged in business, or none to
speak Of Give the business girl a
chance to pick up these extras She
is entitled 10 them and they come in
mighty we'll in adding to the income

seems TO think. There are hundreds
or stenographers throughout the State
who are affected by the decision OF
the court They are deprived Of
Wnat the laity and q great many Of
the best lawyers think. their rightful
privilege to receive the benefit from
the notaries' fees.
Chief Justice Clark, in the minority
opinion called attention to the fact
that but ten of fifty-three States and
Provinces denied the women this
privilege. The decision of the ma
jority of the court settles the matter
for the time being. The Free Press
does not believe that this decision
will be accepted as final by the people
OF the State. The action of the Legis-
lature. The Press Press believes was
in response to public sentiment in the
State and the constitutional obstacles
will sooner or later be removed

SmOuidering Hopes.

charlotte Observer.
No doubt Justices Walker, Allen
and Hoke followed what they con-
reived to be the law in the case when
they handed down their opinion that
the Constitution of the State is in
the way Of woman's eligibility to serve
q, notaries public. If they had been
voicing sentiment instead of law,
they might not have smothered their
spirit of gallantry, and would have
opened the door to this Office to the
hundreds of deserving and well-quali-
fed applicants that would nave come
forward. But law is law. and the
hopes of the business world whose in
tcrests would have been so we'll served
l., woman notaries, must shoulder
yet awhile. A way will be found in
time
