THIS PICTURE GOT HER BIG MOVIE PART—When Jerry Lewis
saw this picture of Nobu McCarthy, taken by director Frank Tash
lin, he exclaimed “that's our girl!" and the search for his leading
lady in “Geisha Boy" was over. Tashlin dressed the girl in a man’s
shirt and posed her in his office window. The photo ended a long
series of disappointments for Nobu and made her the latest among
Japanese beauties to win a starring role in Hollywood.—UP) Photo

PLASTIC MULCH
(Continued from page 8)
with the University of Alaska Ex
periment Station.
Dearborn said that the plastic
was first tried at the Kentucky
State Experiment Station and has
been tested on vgetable plots
grown last year at the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture research
center at Beltsville, Md. It con
trolled virtually all weeds except
nutgrass, which has sharp pointed
leaves able to pierce the film.
Crops mulched with polyethylene
during the dry season grew faster
and larger and yielded more than
similar plants grown without
mulch.
Locally, chickweed is common
and will come through any slit in
the film that will permit the emer
ge'ey of garden seed crops,”
Dearborn said. “Thus a little hand
weeding must be practiced even
with the mulch.
“For those who use the plastic
in dry regions, I would suggest
that the planted area under the
plastic be in a depression so that
any rainfall would run through
the plant slit and water the
crop. In wet regions I would sug
gest the reverse; that is, mound
the row so that the rainfall runs
away from the plant stems. In
windy regions care must be used
to keep the mulch in place.”
To cut the cost of mulching
home garden plots with plastic,
Dearborn agreed with the Belts
ville specialists that strips of
film be used, rather than attempt
ing to cover the whole garden
surface. Directions come with
the film packets, which are avail
able from most local hardware
stores.
The soil should be fertilized and
thoroughly worked into a pulver
ized condition before it is coverd
with film and the plants set in
place. If it is necessary to feed
later, fertilizer in solution can be
poured into the opening around
each plant through holes punched
m the film or along the edges of
the covered plant bed. In this way
it will soak in as rain does when
it falls on the film.
At the Beltsville testing station,
researchers found that in the un
mulched plots in the heavy silt
loam soil, the plant growth was re
tarded during the dry season. But
soil beneath the polyethylene
mulch remained moist, porous and
loose.
“I think the plastic is worth
while especially cm tomato, pep
per, cucumber, summer squash
and possibly strawberries,” Dear
born said. More details can be ob
tained by writing the Information
Office,, University of Alaska Ex
tension Service, Box B, College,
