BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, October 2S.-(SpeciaD. Congressman Gordon Lee of Georgia who represents the district lying next to north ern Alabama comes to Washington with c most encouraging story of corn produc- tion in his district
 He says he has something more than 300 boy corn growers in his district who have this year produced about 100000 bush- els of corn on 1000 acres of land. This is b00O0 bushels more than has ever been produced on the same land before" said Congressman Lee. T have one boy in Chatooga county who, I believe, has the record for the state. He produced this year 215 bushels on one acre at an average cost of 15 cents per bushel.
 "Other boys in the south have produced more corn to the acre but at a 'nucn higher cost per bushel. have another boy in my district who grew about 24O bushels on one acre but his cost was greater than that of the Chatooga boy.
 'The Chattooga boy does not charge against his crop of this year the peaYines that he grew on the acre last year for the reason that he gathered a good crop of peas. That crop alone paid for the growing of it and a good profit besides. After gathering the large crop of peas he

Suit Being Heard

Jackson. Miss, October 2S.-(Special.)- J. suit of far-reaching importance and of special interest to all Knights of Pythias is being heard here before Judge w. R.. Harper, by agreement of attorneys, Judge Henry being disqualified because of mem bership in the order. The style of the case is Carl Newman vs. the Knights of Pythias, both sides being represented by able counsel.
 Newman was one of the members who objected and protested against the in crease of insurance rates in the endow- ment rank, and sues for the difference between. what he has been compelled to pay on his policy and what he agreed to pay when the policy was issued to him several years ago. He claims that because of the increase and the crea- ton of new classes the majority of the members of the old class have either dropped out or have surrendered their policies so that the class to which he belongs is too small and weak to pay the benefits as they fall due.

 Dr. Jay A. Bonsteel, scientist in soil survey of the United States department of agriculture, has just issued valuable circular (No 46) on the Orangeburg fine sandy loam. Large areas of this soil are encountered in Alabama and is consider ed one of the finest utility and special types for general crops in the south At lantic and gulf states.
 The soil has been encountered in he soil survey of the following Alabama counties: Autagua, Baldwin, Bibb, But Ter, Dallas, Hale, Mobile, Montgomery. Perry and Sumter.
 The following summary by pr. Bonsteel gives a practical idea of the nature and utility of the soil;
 ''The Orangeburg fine sandy loam is one of the most extensively developed of the coastal plain soils. It is found chiefly in the gulf coast region, although scattered areas exist in the middle AL lantic states. It occurs in three exten- sive belts-the first extending from south- western Georgia and northern Florida

 Don't take any chances! Destroy the germs at the beginning of the trouble with that soothing and cleansing wash, the D. D. D. Prescription for Eczema.
