Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Sowing Made Easy. DESCRIPTION: And here is another man at work, or he would be but for the atrocious weather. He wants to sow his broad acres, and, as a matter of fact, it’s being made easy for him. Sowing by air is the latest idea. Just load up the aircraft with seed, and the pilot will do the rest. The process has only been tried out for two or three months, so it is still experimental. SHOTLIST: Key scene (fade) man’s boots walking in mud. CU grain tipped out of sack. MLS (aeroplane) about to sow seed. CU same. CU grain being poured into aeroplane hatch. MS plane taking off. GV plane gaining height. GV plane sowing seed. CU farmer watching. MLS plane sowing seed.
