Ernst LubitSch'S Directing
 Likely To Win Years Prize
 For Film, "The Man l Killed"
By GENE COIN


 New York-Hailed by the ace film reviewers of Manhattan as "the Justification of talking pie tures' and "the most important film since the talkies were born" 1t would seem that Paramounts proudest production, "The Man l Killed" might be headed for the film prize of the current year.
 Certainly 1t is directorial triumph for Ernst Lubitsch, who has been doing those gay, naughty bits, such as Smiling Lieutenant" with Chevalier.
 Something like million dollars is reported to have been spent in making "The Man Killed" This Is a brave gamble, and as much intelligence as money should have been spent on the casting. It hasn't been. Phillips Holmes, while agree ably young and sensitive, Is not the man for the leading role. Frederic March would have been a far bet ter selection. And Nancy Carroll is not the actress for the girl-in- tereSt.

Dear comrades:
With no objections to sincere and
earnest comrades who feel that their
presence at demonstration should
only be one of activity, our objec-
tions are against their planless &C.
tivities.
June %, at Union Square, saw a
gathering Of protest against the Dies
Bill. Did we attract workers ig-
norant of the latest weapon of our
aggresSors? Or was the crowd COM
posed Of the usual faithful workers
connected with our mass organiza-
tions? If the latter is true what is
the reason we can't attract greater
number Of outsiders nearer to our
movement?
Why should this isolation from the
masses be outstanding in our demon
STATIONS?
The speakers at this meeting were
quite interesting and their speeches
quite educational to newcomers
Could we have attracted a greater
number of workers and would-be
sympathizers to the working class
movement? The answer, no doubt, is
YES.
What then we're the shortcomings
in this demonstration?
That our over-enthused comrades
were responsible for driving away the
would-be listeners, this would seem
] paradodcal. Yet this is fact. A

BY ANNA LOUISE STRONG

THE use of the aeroplane in farm
ing in the Soviet Union may
make in the near future changes
as great as those made in the past
few years by the tractor. Such at
least is the opinion of many Soviet
farm experts, as a result of the
experiments in aeroplane-sowing
made during the past year.
Tulaikov, e-president of the
Lenin Academy of Agricultural
Science, goes so far as to say: 1.-THE
entrance of the aeroplane into
farming causes us to view agricul-
tural technique from an entirely
new Standpoint"
Though the aeroplane has been
used for several years in the U. S.
S. r. as an aid to farming in the
fight against pests, it's first use in
sowing was through the advice of
an American, Professor Sterneman,
who came on two years leave of
absence from the chair of agricul-
tural economics in the University
of California, to work for the Grain
Trust in its organization of large
scale farms.
Rice Experiments
While helping to organize the
agricultural experiment station and
school at Verblud in the Caucasus,
Sterneman called attention to Die
use of aeroplanes in California for
the sowing of rice. During his
second year of work for the Grain
Trust, he was transferred to the
Kuban for rice experiments.
The first modest experiment
covered only 1872 acres. 1t was found
that an aeroplane took 40 to so
seconds to SOW one hectare, or
somewhat less than 20 seconds per
acre. This replaced the usual
backbreaking labor of the rice
fields where men all day long
bent over in the water.
The result, as shown by the
autumn harvest, was AIS centners
per hectare, instead of the IS cent
ners obtained through the usual
sowing methods.
Sowing by plane has several prac-
teal advantages. In no other way
can rice-sowing be so easily mech
anized. Tractor farming is largely
inapplicable, due to the necessary
flooding of the fields.
AS result of last years expert
ment some $500 acres are being
sown to rice this year by plane,
a hundredfold increase. Meantime,
the use of the aeroplane for sowing
has been extended to other cultures.
Turning Desert Green
WHAT kind of cultures can be
" most successful sown by aero
plane, asks DUNN in a long article
in "Izvestia." First, those which do
not demand that the seed be placed
under the soil or that 1t be dis
tributed with great exactness. This
includes many fodder grasses,
clover, alfalfa, vetch, timothy,
drought-resisting oats. etc.
These cultures are further
adapted to aeroplane sowing from
the fact that their seeds are light
in weight Give and twenty kilo-
grams seed a hectare) SO that the
plane can cover a considerable
acreage on each flight.
The sowing Of such grasses from
the air was done on an experiment
tai scale Iase year and is being
greatly extended this year in
regions as far apart as Leningrad
and Lower Volga. Aeroplane SOW
ing seems also well adapted to
spreading fodder grasses into
hitherto virgin regions, and to
enriching the mountain pasture
meadows.
Over 100000 acres of unprod-
uctive desert lands lie along the

Workers approaching the meeting

money as possible, forgetting to make
personal contact with these workers.

plans to SOW 100000 acres.
In fact the programme for meat
production Of the Second Pyatiletka
now includes extensive use of aero
plane sowing in order to secure the
fodder grasses needed over wide
new areas.
On Grain Sowing
1t might be thought that aero
plane-s sowing is not applicable to
grain or industrial crops, which re-
quire either the buying of the seed
in the soil, or else more accurate,
even distribution than can be easily
secured from the air. Yet under
certain conditions 1t pays to use
aeroplanes for grain sowing.
The dry districts of the U. S.
S. R. have a very short sowing
season. Early sowing before the
dry winds take moisture from the
soil is of great Importance for har-
vest yield. A gain of even four or
five days in early sowing often
increases yield Is or 20 per cent.
Now, at the I.oment when the
snow melts, there is period, often
of several days, when the ground
is too wet and muddy to work in
the ordinary manner. Peasants
have found that the mere casting
of seed on the soil at such times,
rather than waiting till the seed
ers" can function often gives re-
turns which compensate for the
extra labor.
The seed sinks into rapidly drying
mud, and the lack of eveness in
the cast is more thar compensated
by the extra moisture obtained by
early planting.
For such conditions, aeroplane
sowing Is clearly indicated as a
possibility. Experiments have been
made this spring, some 10000 acres
having been sown to spring wheat
in Uzbekistan alone, and consider
able areas in other regions. Pre-
liminary results seem to justify the
sowing of some scores Of thousands
of acres his autumn in similar
manner to winter wheat.
Even with flax, which demands
accuracy in the placing of. seed,
experiments in aeroplane sowing
have been made this spring, in the
hope that the lack of exactness in
seed placing may be compensated
by the fact that sowing can take
place before roads and fields have
dried enough for ordinary sowing.
In this case, two crops in one sea-
son become possible.
Some Difficulties
There are many difficult problems
raised by aeroplane sowing. Chief
among these is the unevenes Of
seed scattering. The wheat sown on
one farm In Uzbekistan varied from
four to 1913 grainc per square metre!
Much technical improvements is
clearly called for, and work is pro-
ceeding in the direction of making
seed-scaterers more perfect, adapted
to special types OF seed, easily at
tacnable and detachable.
Considerable work must also be
done in preparing landing places
and in developing aeroplanss OF a
size which can work for some dis
tances without stopping.
The future plans, now under con-
sideration not only by agricultural
experts but also by the Osoaviak-
him, forsee an almost year round
use Of aeroplane in farming. Be-
ginning In the south, they will fol-
low the sowing season north. Then
they will turn to- the work of
spraying, grasshopper fighting, etc.

20 Per Cent More Patients

An increase of nearly 20 per cent
In the number of patients cared for

ciety during last month, as compared
with April of last year, was reported
at a meeting of the board of managers
of the organization yesterday. More
than a fourth of the families cared
for were faced with problems of un-

trude H. Bowling, director of the So
ciety.
The report showed that during April
the nurses cared for $500 patients and
made 1926 visits. 1t was pointed out
that SIT of the patients were children
of school age-a group which should
normally be carried by an official
agency, if appropriations from Con-
greSs permitted a larger staff of nurses
in the medical department of schools.
