FARMERS APPLY TO SOIL

FOR COMPLETE FARM PLANS
Continued from FIRST rage)

developed undet1 the direction OF
Herbert Il. Hendrick and Russell
f.. Wilson. soil cOnServationists
and these farm plans include all
conservation practices which are
recommended for each individual
farm after which an application has
been made to the Soil Conservation
District. OF the 100 farms for which
applications for conservation as
sistance have been received to date,
the majority has indicated drain
age problCms but recently the dis
trict office has received number
OF requests for farm plans where
wind erosion control or other con-
scrvation needs are most import
amt
These rcqu%t4Ds are indicative OF
the increasing interest which land
owners arc showing in the pro-
gram being offered Ay the Soil Con-
scrvati0n District. anu there is cv-
cry indication that many more far
mcrs will make applications for
this work as this program cOntln-
ucs to function throughout this
county and state. The objective OF
farm plans is to establish prac-
ticrS ON farms for the best utiliZa
ton of the land for conservation
and the improvement Of soil fer
tlty.
Some farm lpA. which is now
being used for crop production pur-
,oscS should be planted to forcs'
trees or pasture for the most profit
able permanent use Of the land
These conclusions are based on the
information obtained by soil sur
,rys which are the basis for dc
tcrmining the capability of the
various types Of soil. This is the
information which farmers ahOuIt
have in planning their crops ant

mendable ones by j. Carroll Naish,
lachery Scott, Beulah Bondi and

You do not need to be told, for
instance, that the farm Sam Tucker
rents in an attempt to break away
from life as cotton picking wage
slave will turn out to be a hope
lessly drear and ramshackle place,
that his new neighbor will be far
from neighborly, that rain will ruin
the first cotton crop, that Sam
stubbornly will plow again, being
welded to the soil that scarcely
sustains him. Everything that hap
pens turns up properly on schedule,
as events have habit of doing in
any well-regulated but scarcely i'm

Authenticity is not aided, either,

BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

There is hardly anything about
"The Southerner," which opened
yesterday at tLoew's Capitol, that
provides a clue to the basis for the
hubbub raised about the picture,
which led to its temporary banning
in certain Southern quarters. To
be sure, the film does have a grim
and hopeless tone and it does not
deal kindly with the poor share
croppers of the South, but life itself
has hardly dealt kindly with these
slaves to both the elements and eco
nomics. If their plight is a shame,
1t is the Nations shame, not a Sec
tional one.
1t is understandable, of course,
that unreasoning sectional pride
might be offended If it infers that
a motion picture which is a sort of
Tobacco Road" with cuteness sub
stituted for the sordid, is meant to
cross-section of life below the
Mason-Dixon line. The implica-
tion of "The Southerner" hardly is
this, but rather is that these folk
pictured lead dull, toil-filled and
hopeless lives, with the odds ap-
proximately 99-1 against their even
getting enough to eat from one year
to the next, and probably 1891
against better life ever, as things
now stand.
AS you no doubt have gathered
by this point, ''The Southerner"
is not pretty picture, not a gay
entertainment to brighten an eve
ming. Unfortunately it is not a
great one, either, and cannot stand
as social document or a cinema
of high dramatic integrity.

tourist camp homes" in which they
lived, structures that were MASTER
pieces Of maddening inefficiency;
the nightmarish return to class
rooms and weirdly new military
textbooks on the part of men who
had earned fame in civilian intel
lectual pursuits; the back breaking
physical routines, and all the Short
ages and strange relationships be-
tween the famous and their fans.
Miss Gordon's play misses none
of these and both she and Miss
Dunno have sharp eyes for the visit
full comedy that underlay the Sc
rlous business of converting civilian
innocents into muscular warriors.
The chief characters in the Earle's
screenplay are famous woman nov
elist and her liberal editor husband,
played, of course, by Miss Dunno and
Knox.
She sounds oddly unlike the type
for 1t, but every woman who con-
tributed man to the military and
tried to follow him through train
ing will be able to identify herself
with Miss Dunno. And a large
number of males will be able to
identify themselves with her poor
husband, or recognize in him some
one they knew.
The Identification appeal is fine
one for any screen play to have
and it remains as intact in the
movie version as it did on the stage
when Miss Gordon was starring in
her script.
The husbands role In the screen
treatment of the subject is a bit
larger than it was In its predeces-
sor. He was rather vague, be-
devilled character in the theater.
In Knox's version he Is less vague
and more bedevilled. 1t helps to
retrieve "Over 81" from the obso-
lescent look it might easily have
taken on after VI day.
X y X X
Another thing that helps toward
the same end is the cameras ability
to open up the narrative. The liv-
ing room, that wonderfully funny
thing which contained a hidden
kitchen, window which opened by
pounding on the floor, and had It's
light switch located on the outer
wall of the house, still dominates
the retelling of the story. Most of
the action takes place there. But
the camera looks elsewhere to find
how life was for the poor husband
in the barracks, in the classroom,
the field and in the Office of the
commanding officer. These had to
be mere hearsay when "Over 81"
was in the theater. Now audiences
may see for themselves what these
things we like for men who wanted
to be officers. The sight is both
funny and familiar.
Miss Dunno, as is her won't in any
role, does an engaging job of rep
resenting the famous sophisticated
novelist who underneath is like any
other woman with a man suddenly
swept off to war. 1t is hard to tell
just where she is at her best, but
it could be the night she prays for
liberation from any more of the
strain. A funnier prayer seldom
has been heard, one in which she
asks Providence to let her husband
pass his final examinations, or may
be funk them, and then concludes
by just leaving the whole thing up
to any divinity which happens to
be listening.
"Over 21,'' as we say. has become
a sort of reminisence now that the
war is over. more amusing than
lot of others.

Returning Stars
Up in the Air
By HAROLD HEFFERNAN.
HOLLYWOOD.

Behind movie headlines:
Postwar flying will soon come into
its own and there is plenty of evil
dence that the skies over Holly
wood will be dotted with film actors
guiding their own aircraft. The
ban that once kept many an in
trepid actor on the ground will be
definitely off and already the boys
and some of the girls-are shop
ping to see what they can round
up for sky travel.
John Payne, who has 1000 flying
hours to his credit as a result of
his two years in the Army Air
Forces, is the first of the boys back
home to take matters into his own
hands. He is negotiating for a
four-place, high-wing monoplane
and expects to do some serious
cruising when his current film is
completed. Before he went off to
war, Payne's bosses at Goth Century
Fox forced him to stop riding a
motorcycle. That was two years
ago-how times have changed! He
looks for no interference on his
dHpldne plans.
What can they possibly do about
1t now?" asks Payne and then he
proceeds to answer his own ques-
ton. Not thing, because darned
near every actor in town will be in
the market for plane. There were
plenty of flying addicts around
here before the war. Just think
how it's going to be-and within a
year, I would say.
CLARK Gable says he will have
one. Naturally Jimmy Stewart
won't sit on the ground. Then
there's Robert Cummings, Wallace
Beery, Bob Taylor, Ty Power, jim
my Dunn, Wayne Morrison and
on.
IT can remember when Jimmy
Dunn was taking flying lessons and
had to do 1t secretly for fear the
studio would cancel his contract.
All contracts included a clause pro-
hibiting actors from flying. Even
air travel on regular commercial
lines was often prohibited"
Payne is undoubtedly correct. The
producer who attempts to flag an
actor out of the air hereafter will
be branded as an old-fashioned kill
joy.

Pretty Martha McVicars, who gets
her first real break in THE Big
Sleep" with Humphrey Bogart
came to Hollywood as Macvicars
with Selznick contract. For q
year she did nothing, then was re.
leased. Universal signed her as 6
horror girl-and she spent the yea
being chased by monsters. RKC
put her to work in one film, bu
when it was shown she discovered
that the back of her head was al
that had been photographed.
When Warner Bros. signed he
experts went to work and decidet
all Martha needed was a nam
