INTEREST IN ALFALFA
GROWING IN PUTNEY
Large Yield on the Andrews Farm =
Club to Be Formed and Prizes
Overwhelming Saturday.

George M. barrow, who is employed
in the pomological and horticultural
Investigations of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture at Washington
and is also interested with George d.
Aiken of Putney in establishing and
operating an enterprise in growing
small fruits and vines on a large scale,
has recently been visiting Mr. Aiken
and while there called on Edward r.
Andrews at Elm Leigh farm, where he
was much interested in the very sue
cessful crop of alfalfa which Mr.. An
drews was just harvesting.
Slowed in August, 1912, this was the
first crop and yielded over - tons Of
cured hay from a yield of about seven
acres. The crop was cut June % and
at the date of writing, July II, sec
ond crop has started and is nearly a
foot high.
Mr.. barrow was aware that many
farmers who have experimental in
growing alfalfa in New England have
not been successful and have given
it up as a bad job, and very few per-
severed and tried to learn the cause OF
their failures. After seeing the crop on
Elm Leigh farm he was convinced that
the failure had been due to neglect of
proper preparation of the soil, sweet
ening the soil with lime and innocuIat-
ing it with the proper bacteria for al
falfa without which alfalfa cannot be
grown successfully. He learned the
methods used by Mr.. Andrews. who
said he had learned more from his
failures than his success, and now feels
so confident of success that he intends
/ TO SOW about II acres more with alfaI
! ia this year in August. One year he
cut, in three cuttings, five tons from
an acre and a quarter but was so de
sirous of getting as large a yield as
possible that he cut the last crop SO
late that the crowns were winter kill
ed, there being no snow to protect the
roots. Alfalfa should not be cut later
than Sept. /, but the growth after that
date should be allowed to remain as {
mulch and to hold whatever snow fall.
for protection from freezing out dur
ing the winter.
Mr.. barrow was strongly impressed
by what he learned from Mr.. Andrew.
as to his methods of growing alfalfa
and believing that same results can b.
obtained by anyone who will follow
the same methods of culture, which ar
not expensive, he has determined to d,
all in his power to induce the farmer
lof Putney to experiment on their owl

farms At his request Mr.. Andrews
consented to aid him in any way by
advice and would gladly show those in
terested his fields and tell them just
how he has succeeded in growing all
falfa. Mr.. Andrews thinks it is the
most valuable crop a farmer can raise,
that dairymen especially, by growing
it, can save buying large part of the
grain which they purchase now, and
that at the prices paid them for their
milk shipped to the cities it is only
by alfalfa that they can make anything
whatever. A ton of alfalfa hay is
worth as much for feeding cattle as a
ton of bran, and two or three tons of
alfalfa can be raised on an acre of the
rich-rooting fields of Vermont.
To show them his fields of alfalfa
and to explain his methods of culture,
Mr.. Andrews wishes the farmers of
Putney to meet him at Elm Leigh
farm Saturday, July 10, in the after
noon.
Plans are being made for the oreani-
cation at that time of an Alfalfa club
A sum of money has been subscribed
for prizes to be given for the best
acres of alfalfa sowed this August.
1913, the prizes to be awarded at the
time of the second cutting in the sum
mer of 1914.

HACKETT ON THE sCRErN
Famous Players Prisoner of Zenda
Production to be Seen at Princees =

James X. Hackett in The Prisoner
q Henda viii be shown at the Princess
theater next Monday and Tuesday.
This production, made by the Famous
Players Co, is said to surpass the
Bernhardt film, Queen Elizabeth. shown
here recently.
From seat in the last row of the
orchestra IN New York house Mr..
Hackett recently watched his work on
.he screen, and scattered through the
large audience were other members of
the company that abandoned STAGE
work long enough to act out the pic.
ture version of Anthony Hopes ro-
nance. Daniel Frohman, managing d.
rector OF the Famous Players, appeared
before the curtain to introduce the pic
tufe and give brief history of the play.
BY means of motion pictures, he said.
he hoped to see the art of great actors
perpetuated and introduced to innu.
merable people in small towns who
would not have an opportunity to see
the players in person.
Edwin ). Porter, the director, has
presented the story in a clear. interest
ing fashion, making the pictorial YER
sion adhere closely to the narrative as
found in the book The idea of show
ing each of the principal characters on
the screen prior to the first reel, and
giving few words of explanation of
the parts these characters are to play
IN the story, serves a good purpose in
making Identities clear Even granting
that the spectator is being introduced
to The Prisoner of Zenda for the first
time, the plot development is easily
followed.
The idea of the producers, and of
Mr.. Hackett himself, no doubt, was to
make his performance as nearly as the
requirements of pictures permitted a
duplicate of his stage appearance. To
see Mr.. Hackett in this film is to get
considerable knowledge of his original
playing of the role. The manly bear
ing, the expressiveness of forceful GEES
lures and the play of his mobile fea-
lures (when close enough to be OBJ
served) lose nothing by being trans
ferred to the screen. Beatrice Beck
ley presents a charming figure as Prin.
cess Flavia, David Terrence makes a
convincing "BlacE Michael whereas
| Frazer Coulter, c. r. Randall, Walter

care that denotes finished production
is apparent
