AL JolSon, who is killing a little
time between jobs in making his
spare moments profitable, accord
ing to dispatches which drift in
from the paddock.
He has finished his Warner
Brothers contract and shifts to
United Artists where his first
picture will be "Sons O. Guns, :"
the musical in which Jack Dona-
hue IS now starring on Broadway.
Minstrel Jolson is waiting on Lily
Damita who will be his leading
lady and who at present is blow
ing IN some of her savings
abroad.
To return to the Jolson good
luck. He went out to Empire
City last Friday afternoon, he hit
the books for $4,000, playing
Mr.. Sponge. Then he collected
$4,000 more playing a tip on
Negopoli and rode a fat bunch
of these winnings on Ormseby at
10 TO l. Inc profit on the after
noon was $4,000.
Not so many years ago AL went
out to the neighboring Bowie
track and when the numbers
were hung up after the seventh
race he asid: "Never again. You
can't win. It would make a
thief out of a minister's son to
keep 1t up. I've learned my les
son. I'm through" He had Just
passed $4,000 through the mu-
tual windows on three-legged
mules which failed to get in the
money. Thereafter, he said Wall
Street would give him his specu-
lative thrills. It seems he must
have changed his mind.

The distinguished actress who
is emerging from a 13-year retire
ment will have a John Cotton
play for her re-appearance. It
is presumed that Washington will
see the drama before Broadway
or in it's try-out weeks and it is
possible that the National Thea
ter will get the first performance,
scheduled, from all accounts to
be a notable occasion.
Another nice piece of news is
that the new show starring Fred
Allen, Clifton Webb and Libby
Holman will be seen here in Octo-
ber. These are the principals of
the famous Little Show and their
new musical comedy will be called

FILM STARS In
EMBRYO HARD
TO PICK

syndicate, Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July 8.
A director friend of mine was
lamenting that promising young
actor was being released by his
studio. Somebody else will nab
him." he said, land then therell
be an awful cry raised over here" &"
This is exactly what has hap
pened in dozens of instances in
Hollywood. George Bancroft, for
instance, was the heavy in Tom
Mix'S old westerns. Fox didn't
see his possibilities as a new virile
type of hero, and now Paramount
is reaping the rewards Of its su-
perior Sagacity.
On the other hand, when the
talkieS came in, Paramount didn't
even take the trouble to give Bebe
Daniels a voice test. They were
paying her a big salary, and
figured she was through, so they
let her 60. Now, she is R-K-O's
biggest star.
Here are some others: Charles
Farrell was under six months
contract at Warner Brothers at
$100 a week. and they let him
go. Both Lewis Ayers, hero of
''All Quiet on the Western Front"
and jeanette Loft were at Pathe
but Universal first saw their
value. Pathe. in turn, signed
Twelvetrees after Fox released her
and now she is on her way
towards becoming an important
star. Paramount had Ell Brendel
under contract and let him slip
between their fingers. Nancy
Carroll and Stuart Erwin dubbed
around at Fox and are big hits
at Paramount. Both Jack Oakie
and Joe E. Brown were turned
down by Fox when Ted Nc
Namara died, and a partner was
being sought for Sammy Cohen.
Who remembers Sammy now?
It's a nerve-frazZling game at
which the best guesser wins. And
yet some people wonder why
producers lose their tempers.
His Only Chance
Robert Montgom merry just
learned that he is to be cast in
Dark Star" with those two
champion picture stealers, Wal,
lace Beery and Marie Dressler

Sweet Glover Found to
Be Popular Eep1lme

White sweet clover proved to be the
best legume as a ni0fey maker In
comparison with four other legumes,
on the light-cOlored soils, according
to G. ]. Badger, University of Illinois.
The crops Of wheat, corn and oats
following the use of biennial white
sweet clover were worth more money
than after any other legume, but red
clover was a close second. Values
of crops following hubam (annuai
sweet clover), yellow blossom sweet
clover, alsike and yellow biennial were
close together but below red clover.
The yields of corn following the
different clovers were III bushels,
following white sweet clover. 1874 for
red clover, Is after alsike. 1874 after
yellow sweet clover and IL bushels
after hubam.
Wheat yielded highest after hubam

Soy beans make the best emergency
hay for the dairy herd.
Starving baby chicks for the first
three days of their lives, once thought
to be necessary. is no longer so con-
sidered. Feeding the chicks when they
are forty-eight hours old. or sooner,
produces better results.
Cockerels are usually larger and
stronger than pullets. The shank OF
males just above the foot is enough
larger on chicks of the same age TO
help one in deciding which are cock
erels and which are pullets.
Crowding the chicks not only causes
coccidiosis and cannibalism among
them. but also delays their feathering
out. When six weeks of age they
should have at least double the space
that they have when first hatched.

Alfalfa Satisfactory
Pasture for All Stock

Alfalfa makes satisfactory horse
pasture, and in fact is good for any
class of stock, the only danger being
that of bloat when the growth is very
luXuriant and in wet weather. Ii is
advisable TO have some tame grass
pasture alongside the alfalfa so that
horses can have a variety of feed, in
which case they are not so likely to
take injury from the alfalfa.
There is not much likelihood of in.
PRODUCING noxious weeds into a farm
through the use of sweet clover or.
alfalfa. The first crop is very often
cut for seed, though some farmers
make a practice of cutting the first
crop early and high and allowing the
second crop to mature for seed. Where
seed is grown commercially, the first
crop is the one generally used.

Casein Superior
Spray Spreader
Makes 1t Easier to Give
Fruit Complete Coat of
Lead ArSenate.

tPrepared bv the United States Department
of Agrculture.b
A mixture of lead arsenate and wa
ter, when sprayed on the fruit and
foliage of tree. does not spread as
evenly over the surface as is desir-
able. The liquid tends TO collect in
overcome this certain materials
known as spreaders are used.
Use Is New.
The use of spreaders in codling-
moth sprays is comparatively new.
says the bureau of entomology,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. So far as is known at present,
Spreader is desirable addition to
a lead-arsenate spray. Ii is possible
to control the insect just as thorough
ly without the spreader as with it. 1t
is somewhat easier, however, to give
the fruit complete coat of poison
when spreader is included. The
spreader cannot be depended on to
make the spray go further, except
that without ii there is a tendency
to OverSpray, until the material col
lects in relatively large drops. The
spreader added to lead arsenate has
the advantage of eliminating the con-
spicuous white botches that usually
appear on fruit sprayed with the ar
senical alone. Chemical analyses
show that there is just as much poi
son on an apple when spreader has
been used as when ii has not. The
difference is that the poison is more
evenly distributed.
Among Fest Spreaders.
Among the best spreaders are soap,
certain oil emulsions, glue, and casein.
Casein is by far the most satisfac-
tory spreader obtainable at present.
In its pure form ii does not mix with
water, and it must be combined with
an alkali before ii can be put into the
spray tank. The manufactures gen.
orally does this, but any grower can
mix his own spreader by directions
the Department of Agriculture will
furnish upon application.
