nIRECTOR LOWRY makes his tests
~ in a different way from most di.
rectors.
On Saturday We found in the studio
q "set' representing a small room.
with wicker table and chairs in the cen.
ter.
When everything was ready Betty
Bovee. the leading lsly Of the Tooner-
vile comedies. sat in one chair, looking
over a pile of photographs. On an
order from Mr.. Lowry the contestant
walked on to the set and Miss Bovec
rose TO greet her, quite ne though Il
we're a visitor in her own home.
They .chattpd a moment and then the
contestant was invited to sit down. \
few feet Of this were cranked by the
cameraman: then the contestant rose.
said good by and left the set.
And there is one thing that each Of
the fifteen very nervous girls asked Us
10 say about Miss Bovee. And that is
that no one could possibly have been
more adorable. more helpful or more
reassuring than she was.
She went among the dressing rooms
when the girls arrived. She picked out
a couple of the most nervous and took
them into her own room She helped
them make up. fixed their hair for
them. lent them little things that they
had forgotten and gave them valuable
suggestions as to how 10 conduct them
selves before the all seeing eye OF the
movie camera.
And then when they came on the set
with the operator grinding she said
something reasSuriug to each one OF
them and smiled so confidently at them
that it gave them confidence in them
selves.
THIS test constituted the 'long
i shot" which will show the general
appearance of the girls and their grace
of movement.
Then came the CLOSE ups. with the
camera set 50 near that the pictures will
show only the head and shoulders.
Director Lowry sat under the camera
with the contestant before him. Very
slowly he had her turn her head from a
left side profile. through the full face
to a rights side profile.
In most competitions Of this kind the
director has the girl laugh. look sad and
then emotionaly say II love YOU e
some imaginary hero just alongside th'
lens.
Mr.. Lowry. however. did not make th'
tests so severe as that.
I'VE HOPE to announce the three
w winners on Thursday, The judges
with Mr.. Lowry. must first view the
tests and then vote on the three who
are the most beautiful.
After that il will no longer be q
question Of mere beauty but Of absolute
moving picture ability. The three win
ners will be given minor parts in the
next succeeding comedy and the ono who
does the best work will be tho final win
ner Of the contest and get the 500 a
week leading part.

With or N,thout Nursn or6p.

The question Of seeding with or
without q nurse crop-that il, sowing
the alfalfa with some other crop such
as wheat or ~barley-is one that has
received q good deal Of attention. APP
parently the principal consideration in
this question is n Of moisture. That
is, IL 1t Is quite certain that there IL
sufficient moisture in the soil so that
when h nurse crop is cut off the al
falfa will continue growing, there may
not be any very great risk in using "a
nurse crop. ~ /.
There r several methods Of seed
ing alfalfa with a nurse crop. One
quite frequently used is, to mix the
seed with the small grain in the regu-
lar drill box. This is perhaps the
least satisfactory method. as the alfal-
ia seed is so small that 1t does not
run out evenly with the grain. and q,
rather scattered or uneven stand may
front of the grain drill is a much more
satisfactory method, and usually gives
; success. The alfalfa seed may either
be u into the drills with the grain,
or 1t be sown broadcast in front
of the disks. AS to which OF these
methods should be used is largely de-
pendent on the moisture in the soil.
This question will be treated further
under Methods of Seeding"
AS to what might be used as q nurse
crop. it is probable that any Of the
small grains or flax may be used sat
isfactorily. However, in trying out the
various grains we have secured better
n other crop. Marquis wheat is ear
lier. and grows less foliage, and is less
liable to lodge than any Of the other
grains. Being early it gives the alfal-
IA q longer time to grow before frost,
after the wheat is harvested. and also,
having very little foliage, it does not
shade the alfalfa plants as much as
the other crops. ~.
In seeding a nurse crop it is advis-
able to seed less than the usual
amount of seed, half to three-quarters.
Ordinarily the extra work which
should be put on the preparation of
the LAM for alfalfa will give as large
or larger yield of grain than ordinary
Alfalfa may also be seeded on winter
wheat or rye. The land should be
properly prepared before seeding the
wheat or rye, and the following spring,
as o o as the land is in workable
condition. the alfalfa seed may be
drilled in. We use the ordinary grain
drill with, the grass seed attachment.
and run the seed into the drills the
same as grain. We drill this crossw:se
of the grain drills, and set the disks
SO as to owe the alfalfa seed one
half to three-quarters Of an inch.
This disking doubtless ear out an &C.
SEASONAL wheat or rye plant, but it is
believed that the cultivation does more
good than harm. The = is the earli-
est Of the grains to ripen, so the al
falfa has a longer time to grow before
frost than after any other crop.

nurse crop choking the alfalfa too
badly, it would be best to cut It for
hay before it was mature. 1t fs
probable that more harm comes from
taking off the nurse crop during dry,
hot weather, and exposing the altal1a
to the hot sun, than anything else.
Il the nurse crop can BE- ~ u dnr ing
be subjected to the hot, burning sun,
which Is always more noticeable in "a
stubb1e field, there would probably not
be so many cases OF failure with q
nurse crop. It is also advisable to cut
the nurse crOp as low as possible. Inc
reflection Of the stubble is not then so
great, and the stubble will not bother
later in the first hay crop.
Best Success May BE Expected BY
Seeding Alone
While there is a great temptation
to SOW with a nurse crop, n thus
avoid the loss Of the use Of the land
but that the chances for success with
alfalfa are greater IL it is sown alone.
We usually advise that the beginner
had best prepare the land carefully,
and sow without a nurse crop.
Rate OF Seeding
1t is probable that the question OF
how much to sowtper acre Is more Of
ten asked than any other. and It ts
| doubtless true that the amount OF seed
| really has less to do with the success
Of securing a stand of alfalfa than al
realized that m pound Of alfalfa seed,
| equally distributed over an acre OF
land would mean six seeds to the
square foot, it is realized that the
amount of seed per acre would have
very little to do with the securing Of
a proper stand, as 1t is probable that
no field Of alfalfa three years old or
over would show this many plants to
the square foot. Especially in the
that the use of too much e is large
Fly responsible for the slOwness with
which the alfalfa seems to become
established. :
While a thin stand of alfalfa does
/, not show up SO nicely at first there is
no question but that there is a big
advantage in having fewer plants, so
rather than to have them crowded
up until they are ALI weakened.
In the sections having 20 inches or
more rainfall, a seeding of 8 to IL
pounds per acre is usually recon-
! mended, and there is probably nc
! great harm in sowing this amount OF
seed. However, further west, as the
rainfall decreases, the rate of seed
