There is some talk OF "Rufe"
Hutchens, of Rome, being candidate
for Congress against Gordon Lee in
the Seventh District, but so far it
has not been authoritative, and hence
is not being taken with a great de-
gree of seriousness.
Mr.. Hutchens and Mr.. Lee have
been firm political friends for a long
time, and there are many who do not
think the Rome man will seek to win
Mr.. Lees seat. II he does it, how
ever there likely will be some lively
times in that Georgia vicinity. as Cor
don Lee is about the hardest propo-
sition in Georgia Congressional cir
Cles to tackle, perhaps.
Mr.. Lee was in Atlanta Monday and
appeared smiling, confident and hap
py. Asked how about the suggested
opposition, he merely smiled and said
he had heard nothing OF it so far
and hoped he would not hear any
thing of It later.
Lee is mighty strong in the Sew
enth, and the man who beats him
unquestionably will have his hands
full.

DEEP FLOWING ON DRY FARM
Many Farmers Do Not Realize POSI-.
bllItIes of.Thelr Soll-PIant
Food Locked Up.

The majority of farmers do not re-
alize the full possibilities Of their soil
because they do not unlock by their
process of cultivation the plant food
that is stored a few inches beneath
the surface OF the earth.
Repeated blowing at approximately
the same level forms a sort of floor
through which the plant roots pass
with difficulty. Beneath this floor is
an abundance of the elements which
are necessary for plant life, and un.
less the tiny roots are allowed to
reach down and make use of this food
1t is of little avail in increasing the
yield OF the field. The usual practice
OF blowing has another disadvantage
In that 1t does not break up the pores
OF the soil and check the evaporation
