LIEUT.. GOV. TILLMAN IN THE RACE.

Columbia State: In the last few
days, in fact ever since the State Con-
vention, it has been generally report
ed that Lieut.. Gov. James II. Tillman
would not be a candidate for governor,
but would stand for reelection as
lieutenant governor. None knew where
the report originated. but all doubt
about his being in the race was dis
PEELED yesterday when he came to the
city and in person filed his pledge with
State Chairman Jones and paid his
assessment, thus officially becoming n
candidate for governor. In talking
yesterday Col. Tillman said that he
was in the race to the finish and pro-
posed TO make his first speech of the
campaign at Donnalds at meeting to
be held there just prior to the open
ing of the regular campaign series.
He says that at this meeting he will
answer charges made against him
soon after the adjournment of the leg
islature in regard to that ruling. in
accordance with his statement that
he would answer those charges at the
proper time. Col. John r. Sloan, who
came so near being elected lieutenant
governor two years ago. has also de-
teTmined to enter the race and yester-
day filed his pledge.

shallow vs.. Deep Flowing by Corn.
The time was. when. to advocate
shallow blowing for any crop was con-
sidered the rankest kind of agricul-
tural heresy, and I remember, says a
writer in Ohio Farmer, when Horace
Greedy was publishing in the the New
Y ork Tribune his series of celebrated
articles. entitled What / know of
farming" that-one Of the other New
York papers, to ridicule his strenuous
advocacy of deep blowing, published
cartoon representing Greedy standing
on the beam OF a plow to which a yoke
of steers was hitched, grasping a steers
tail in each hand and yelling over his
shoulder to the man holding the pillow.
Put 'er down! There's moisture and
fertility down there"
Since that time farmers have learned
that to bring the cold subsoil up on the
surface is not only ruinous to the first
crop but that it takes several years to
get the soil back again to its former
state of fertility.
A few years ago I was blowing
piece of stiff timothy sod for corn when
one Of my neighbors-a German and a
good farmer-cane into the field and
the first thing he said was, why you
ton't blow dis teeper? You yust ought
to see NE we're I been BLOWN: put him
town eight inch" We'll" l said, you
just wait and see the difference in the
way the corn grows on this field and
on yours. His corn came up spindling
and yellow and made a slow feeble
growth. The last of July it was little
more than knee high. Then we had
some fine rains that pushed it along
but it only made about half a crop
while mine came up and made rank
vigorous growth right from the start
and all through the season it had that
dark green color and kept up that
rank, luxuriant growth that delights
every corn grower. My neighbor was
ready TO acknowledge his mistake long
before the growing season was over.
He said: Dat been the foorst time
blow SO teep for corn and l guess
don't do it some more"
l suppose there are deep alluvial
soils like river flats where deep plow-
ing is allowable and perhaps preferab BILE
but on land underlaid with cold stiff
clay subsoil, deep piowing for any
crop, especially if it brings up much
new 3ubsoil, is detrimental and espe-
cially so for corn.
l know that writer's often advocate
the bringing up each year a little of
the subsoil, submitting it to the action
of the elements and thus gradually
deepening the soil. I believe there are
several better. quicker and more eff
| tectual ways of increasing soil fertility.
