MOTION PICTURES OF THE UNITED STATES

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, I951i

INTRODUCTION

The motion pictures produced by the Department of Agriculture are informational and instructional in type. They are designed to demonstrate improved

methods in agriculture and home economics ; to stress the need for conservation

of soil and other resources; to explain the farm credit system, the rural electrification system, forestry, land use, marketing, and kindred subjects; and to help

increase the effectiveness of cooperative extension work.

All the current films of the Department are listed in this catalog, as well as

some that were produced by other Government agencies but are distributed by

the Department. It is hoped they will be used widely to promote a better

agriculture.

1 This Handbook supersedes Miscellaneous Publication No. 673, Motion Pictures of

the United States Department of Agriculture, 1949, of which it is a revision.
USING USDA FILMS EFFECTIVELY

You are a farm leader planning a meeting, and you want to show your group

a USDA film. You want the film to help make the meeting a success. How

should you select and show it to get this result?

Your meeting might be very informal and you may want a film merely for

entertainment's sake. In that case you might go through this catalog and select

the film with the most general or dramatic interest and show it how you please.

Movies can and should be enjoyed . . . and if the film helps to establish the

right frame of mind to carry on with farm matters . . . well, that's one of the

important advantages of movies.

Usually, however, your meeting has been called to discuss one or more

important farm problems. Your purpose is to show these problems and instruct

your group in how to overcome them. The film you use will have to serve as a

tool. You will want to select and show your film in a dififerent way.

First, how good a form of instruction is the film ? The film is not limited by

time and space. It can take you to a fruit orchard in California and in one

second's time whisk you to a dairy farm in Maine. It can show you in giantsized pictures how the little bee makes honey and the cow makes milk ; it can

show you months of plant growth in the time it takes to read this; it can

show you how sheep are sheared and great fields of wheat harvested. In short,

it can bring the agricultural world into your meeting room.

And because it strikes the intellect and emotion at the same.time during a

period of high concentration (in a dark room), the film can impress knowledge

on the mind quicker and keep it there longer than any other single medium of

instruction.

But the film has some limitations also, one of which particularly should be

understood if you're going to use the film with success in your meeting. That is

the limitation of subject coverage. As a rule, the short information film simply

can't show every facet of a subject; there is always more to be explained.

Even Department films, which are produced with a wealth of agricultural

knowledge, cannot individually say all there is to say on any one topic. That is

why the Department tries to make more than one film on a subject, viewing it

from as many sides as possible. (For complete coverage, the Department uses

many dififerent information media; combined they do a thorough job of informing the farmer.)

If you recognize this limitation, you will select and show your film with good

judgment.

You know the purpose of your meeting. Is it going to be on milk production? Cotton insects? Conservation? Then look for the film that bears most

nearly on the subject. You will probably find one or more in this catalog.

Then when you show the film, don't rely on it alone to carry your meeting.

Discuss the subject thoroughly, inviting questions and using information from

the film to get points across. If possible, use other information media dealing

with the same subject: pamphlets, charts, etc. These ways combined will stimulate thought and interest and will open the way to a wider study of the subject.

You will then have used the film to best advantage, in the way it was meant

to be used—as an information tool to help farmers help themselves.

HANDLE FILM WITH CARE

Film is the life blood of the motion picture industry. Its care is as important

as the care of the equipment used to project it. Prints are expensive; they

should be handled with care. You will be held responsible for prints that are

damaged.

1. Do not attempt to project l6-mm. sound pictures on- a silent projector

unless it has been adapted for such projection, as it will destroy the

sound track.

2. Don't thread a film into a projector until the picture aperture has been

cleaned of all lint. Any emulsion sticking to guide tracks should be carefully removed with a damp cloth. Any hard tool used on these tracks

will scratch them and damage the film. Sprockets should be gone over

periodically with a stiff brush and carbon tetrachloride. The' projector

should be oiled after every few days' operation. Wipe off excess oil.

3. Be sure film has been properly rewound before threading. Check threading carefully before starting the projector. Make sure loops of films are

not too long or too short. Turn the machine by hand first. Keep film

ofi^ the floor.

4. One of the most common causes of damaged film is ''riding a sprocket."

This can be prevented if the projectionist will check the film at intervals

as it goes to the take-up reel, or at any time during, projection when an

unusual noise occurs, or a splice goes through the projector. Running on

the sprocket will cause an indentation in the film that is easily detected

by feeling the edge of the film. If this precaution is' taken, much-.film

will be saved from damage.

5. Don't use pins, tape, wire staples, or clips to join the ends of broken

film. Run a foot or so through the projector and lap the end under the

end of film on the take-up reel.

HOW MOTION PICTURES ARE DISTRIBUTED

The distribution of the Department's l6-rtím. motion pictures has been entrusted to cooperating film libraries in 48 States, the District of Columbia, and

the territories of Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. A list of these State film

libraries may be found on page 6. Persons interested in using Department

motion pictures should apply to their State film library for bookings. Department employees and State and county extension workers may obtain for official

use motion pictures deposited by the Department with these libraries, free of

charge other than transportation costs.

To enable the libraries to continue rendering free service to Department employees and State and county extension workers, they are permitted to make a

service charge to all other users of Department motion pictures, tO' cover the

cost of handling the films. The service charge may not exceed $1 per reel per

day, and not more than a total of $5 per reel for »a single booking, for blackand-white films. For color films, libraries may make a service charge in accordance with the policies each has established. Most libraries require all borrowers

to pay transportation charges.

The service charges above indicated apply only to motion pictures that are

deposited in cooperating film libraries by the Department of Agriculture; there

are no restrictions on rental rates or service charges on prints of Department

motion pictures that are purchased by the libraries.
DISTRIBUTION BY NONDEPOSITORY LIBRARIES

In addition to the list of 73 State film libraries, there is included in this catalog, and may be found on page 8, a list of Nondepository Film Libraries That

Lend Department of Agriculture Films. The libraries on this list are those

which, although not officially connected with the Department, have purchased

many films of the Department, and are thus able to givG ample service to film

users.

Nondepository libraries establish rental rates or service charges according to

the policy of each; the Department of Agriculture places no restrictions on

rental rates or service charges on prints of its motion pictures that are purchased by libraries.

HOW TO PROCURE 16-mm. FILMS ON A LOAN BASIS

Before films may be booked, some responsible person must assume liability

for meeting the requirements of the film library supplying the service. All

libraries require that:

1. Films borrowed must be used with reasonable care to protect them

against damage.

2. Films must be returned promptly, and prepaid after the last date for

which they were booked.

3. Reports must be made on the use of films.

4. Most film libraries require borrowers to pay transportation costs both

ways.

When requesting films, the following questions should be answered:

1. Do you wish sound films or silent films .^ (Most Department films are

sound, some are silent, and still others are released in both sound and

silent versions.)

2. For what dates inclusive do you want films, or for what period of time?

(The former information is preferred.)

3. Do you wish the library to make substitutions in case the films requested

are not available.^ If so, please state the purpose for which the films

are to be used.

4. Requests for film should be made at least 2 weeks in advance of scheduled show date. Three or 4 weeks would be better.

5. Return films promptly to organization from which they were procured,

unless instructed otherwise.

ALPHABETICAL LIST OF FILMS WITH DESCRIPTIONS

ADVENTURES OF JUNIOR RAINDROP. (1 reel, 16 mm., sound,

color; released 1948. 8 minutes.)

Animated cartoon of a raindrop's visit to earth. Shows the need for everyone

to be informed on good watershed management practices. Raindrops, like children, become delinquent and lawless when their welfare is neglected. The animation is supplemented with "live" action scenes showing contrasting results

of poor and good watershed management. The message is carried in terms that

any school-age group can understand. "Watershed" will be a new word added

to the school-child's vocabulary. The treatment of the subject—and the picture

itself—will also be of interest to adult groups.

AVALANCHES TO ORDER. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; also b/w;

released 1950. 17 minutes.)

To guard against the hazards from avalanches on the snow-covered mountain

slopes of National Forest ski areas in the West, Forest Service snow rangers

have joined forces with the National Ski Patrol and Winter Sports Associations to predict and control avalanches. They make good avalanches of bad

ones—a 'good avalanche" meaning one that has happened at the right time,

without injury to anyone. The importance of skiers doing their part in obeying

avalanche warning signs is emphasized. The film is narrated by Lowell Thomas,

who has frequently skied in National Forest winter sports areas.

BANKING ON THE LAND. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; released

1946. 20 minutes.)

Tells the story of the development of the cooperative farm mortgage credit system. Ned Harper, a charter member of a local national farm loan association,

recalls in his own experiences the handicaps farmers face in having only shortterm mortgage loans, high interest rates and renewal fees which drove farmers

to insist on their own cooperative system. Ned was one of the farmers called

to Washington to testify when Congress was considering the Farm Loan Act

finally passed in 1916. The Act set up Federal Land Banks and made provision for farmers to organize national farm loan associations to bring longterm loans to their communities. Mr. Harper traces the development of the

system to date and the service it has rendered and is now rendering farmers.

BLISTER RUST—ENEMY OF THE PINES. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound,

color; released 1948, 13 minutes.)

The story of the fight to save the white pines of America from destruction by

the white pine blister rust, a fungus disease which entered this country from

Europe at the beginning of the century. Shows the many and varied uses of

pines, life cycle of the disease by graphic presentation, and effective control

measures now being taken to stop its spread.

BLOCK THAT TERMITE. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w;

released 1940. 20 minutes.)

The termite lives in the ground and feeds on wood. Poor construction methods invite the ravages of these devastating insects. The film shows how

infested buildings can be protected from further damage, and points to be

observed in undertaking new construction.

16
BLUE LUPINE. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; released 1947. 23

minutes.)

This is the story of blue lupine, a legume or nitrogen-producing cover crop c^c

veloped to combat the decline in soil fertility in the southern States, by the Soil

Conservation Service. The picture shows clearly how to plant, harvest, clean,

store and care for the seed, and the importance of the crop to southern agriculture is stressed. Mechanical changes required to permit the use of standard

combines are shown and discussed. Particularly applicable for use by 4-H

Clubs and Vocational Agriculture students in the southern States and wherever

blue lupine is being introduced.

BOB MARSHALL COMES HOME. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm.,

sound, b/w; released 1946. 20 minutes.)

A down-to-earth film of rural electrification today. Bob Marshall, electrician's

mate, 2nd class, USNR, comes back to his home farm, wife and small son. He

and three neighbors do not have electricity; they are a few miles off the line.

Bob goes to see the REA co-op; states his case before the directors. The ultraconservative directors begin to turn him down ; then one who has both foresight

and hindsight speaks dramatically for extending the line. He reminds the conservatives that they, too, were once beyond reach ; that they would not do without electricity now; that the co-op was formed to give area coverage, which

includes Bob and his neighbors. Bob gets electricity, and he makes business for

dealers, railroads, and manufacturers throughout the country.

CANE SUGAR. (1 reel, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w; released

1939. 5 minutes.)

Short version of SUGARCANE, condensed for school use. Shows in interesting

detail hovi^ sugarcane is grown and harvested, and how sugar is manufactured.

CHOOSE TO LIVE. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w; released

1940. 18 minutes.)

A picture on cancer control, for lay audiences. It tells the story of one woman's

encounter with cancer, and presents a background of educational information

on the subject. (U.S. Public Health Service film.)

CICADA. (1 reel, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w; released 1939. 10

minutes.)

Short version of THE CICADA, condensed for school use. The life story of

the 17-year locust.

CICADA, THE. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w; released

1937. 20 minutes.)

Life story of the 17-year locust. The nymph emerges from the ground in spring

and crawls up a nearby plant. After spending considerable time anchoring its

claws securely it begins the laborious task of emerging from its shell, first

splitting it in the back, and then by supreme effort becoming free. After

17
resting, the insect fills its blunt wing pads with air and liquid. Upon emergence

the. Cicada is snowy white, but within an hour has turned a dark brown in

color, its wings now flat and dry. The female deposits her eggs in slits made

in young twigs. Less than two weeks after the eggs are laid the new generation will hatch. The young nymphs drop to the ground and burrow into the

soil where they remain for 17 years. Unusual cinematography.

CLEARING LAND. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm., silent, b/w; released

1929. 26 minutes.)

Shows various methods of removing stumps and boulders from farm land,

including burning, dynamiting, pulling out by means of a tractor, mule-power

for chain whips, use of the mallet or *Taul Bunyan" puller, and the handpower puller. Also discusses types of burners and blowers used by farmers in

the United States.

CONTROL OF WORMS IN HOGS. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm.,

silent, b/w; released 1934. 28 minutes.)

Portrays the life history and methods of control of various internal parasites

that infect hogs, including thorn-headed worms, nodular worms, stomach

worms, roundworms, lungworms, and kidney worms.

CONVEYING AND MEASURING IRRIGATION WATER. (2 reels,

16 mm. and 35 mm., silent, b/w; released 1932. 22 minutes.)

Areas that rely upon irrigation must have some accurate method of measuring

and conveying water in order to distribute it equitably, eliminate waste, and

extend the supply to as many people as possible. The film shows devices and

procedure worked out by the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering for measuring, proportioning, and conveying irrigation water to farm lands; also points

out the value of soil tests.

COOPERATIVE WOOL—FROM FLEECE TO FABRIC. (3 reels,

16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w; released 1938; revised 1941. 30

minutes.)

The story of wool, beginning on the western ranges where droves of sheep are

tended by herders and their dogs. A stop is made along the trail for shearing.

The film then shows the progress of the wool to market, to the great factories,

and finally to the consumer. Marketing is an all important chapter in this story.

Cooperative marketing associations have been organized by wool growers to

develop direct and efficient methods of selling. How these associations handle

and market wool for their members is shown in detail.

COTTON THE CO-OP WAY. (1 reel, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound,

b/w; released 1947. 10 minutes.)

Like other cotton producers, Jim Newton desires to know more about cotton

cooperatives. He visits the local co-op manager and learns of the advantages

of membership in such an organization. In addition to ginning, for its

members, many co-ops provide varied services, such as providing credit and

purchasing seed, feed, and other materials. It is a year 'round service which

provides for pooling, grading, storage, and selling of the bales.

la
CROP THAT NEVER FAILS, THE. (1 reel, 16 mm. and 35 mm.,

sound, b/w; released 1946. 8 minutes.)

The crop that never fails is plenty of savings for hard times. The picture points

to the bounteous harvests of recent years but warns that good seasons are largely

responsible. Floods and drought; dust, disease and grasshoppers; inflation and

depression of not so long ago are starkly recalled. The lesson is driven home

that regular purchase of savings bonds is excellent armor against future

calamity. For adult farm groups at any time; especially good for reinforcing

peacetime bond drives.

CURING PORK COUNTRY STYLE. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, b/w;

with color sequence; released 1945. 20 minutes.)

Shows how to cure pork 'by the "dry" and "brine" methods. With either

method, the main essentials are: (1) Chill the meat and keep it cold; (2) use

the proper amount of salt; (3) give the meat enough curing time to absorb

the salt thoroughly. Cured pork is soaked, strung, and scrubbed'. Then it is

hung in the smokehouse in a haze of hardwood smoke which colors, flavors,

and dries it. The smoked pork is cooled to air temperatures, wrapped in

grease-resistant paper, and bagged to protect it from insects. Then it is hung

in a dark, dry, well-ventilated room ready for use. A brief sequence shows

how hams and shoulders are artery pumped by commercial packers to speed

up curing. Another sequence shows how to construct a farm smokehouse. The

picture closes with tantalizing color shots of ham and eggs, ham with biscuits

and red gravy, sliced baked ham, designed to whet the appetite, and create a

desire to put more country cured pork into the American larder. A good companion picture to PORK ON THE FARM.

Scene from Dead Out

19
DEAD OUT. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; released 1948. 20

minutes.)

This film shows the dangers of burning brush in rural areas unseasonably or

without taking proper safety precautions. The story centers dramatically

around Ridge McDowell, prosperous young farmer who, though adhering to

most rules of safety, makes the mistake of not assuring that his brush fires are

"dead out." His little girl is burned severely and he loses everything when a

strong wind fans a smoldering brush pile into flame and carries the fire to his

house and nearby woods. Interwoven in the story are scenes of other such

catastrophes, as recounted by a veteran "timber cruiser" of McDowell's district.

The right and wrong ways of brush burning are shown.

DECISION FOR BILL, A. (3 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; released

1947. 24 minutes.)

This film is designed to encourage the student to give thought to a career of

public service in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, It shows the many and

varied activities engaged in by the Department, in which scientists, technicians,

and administrators are employed and in which there is an opportunity for

college-trained men and women to render worthwhile and satisfying public

service while working at their chosen profession.

DESTRUCTIVE INVADER, A. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; also

b/w; released 1949. 13 minutes.)

The northern part of the Inland Empire is covered by great forests of western

white pine. They occupy portions of eastern Washington, the panhandle of

Idaho and western Montana, and are the backbone of the logging, milling and

manufacturing industries of the region. Blister rust is attacking these forests

and causing serious damage. Strenuous efforts are being made to control this

disease so as to maintain this valuable forest resource to provide a reservoir

of western tvhite pine timber to meet future needs.

DONT LET IT HAPPEN. (1 reel, 16 mm., sound, b/w; released

1950. 10 minutes.)

Black-and-white version of THEN IT HAPPENED, page 43,

DO UNTO ANIMALS. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w;

released 1939. 21 minutes.)

Thousands of hogs, sheep, and cattle are killed or injured each year in transit

to market, .with tremendous loss resulting to stockmen and packers and needless

suffering among animals. The United States Department of Agriculture and

the National Livestock Loss Prevention Board seek to eliminate these conditions

through improved methods of shipping.

DUCK FARMING. (1 reel, 16 mm. and 35 mm., silent, b/w; released

1934. 13 minutes.)

Types of ducks raised commercially, including the Pekin, Muscovy, Runner,

and Mallard; methods of brooding, feeding, and marketing. The largest duck

farms are found in the Northeast because this area offers the best market. Shows

20
in detail the operation of a duck farm on Long Island that produces and

markets more than a million ducks annually.

EROSION. (1 reel, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w; released 1948. 5

minutes.)

The third in a series of four films prepared especially for school use by the Soil

Conservation Service. This film tells the story of man-made soil erosion and

v^hat it has done to our productive land. It distinguishes between natural

erosion and man-made erosion. It depicts sheet and gully erosion by water and

erosion by wind and explains the destructive force of each. It ends 'by showing

that destructive erosion is not necessary if conservation farming methods are

used. Simple narration and photography. Has special appeal to both urban

and rural children. Suitable for use in intermediate grades and above. (Study

guide.) See TOPSOIL, WATER, and SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION for other films in this school series.

EUROPEAN CORN BORER, THE. (1 reel, 16 mm., sound, color;

released 1948. 10 minutes.)

An insect pest, the European corn borer first made its appearance in the United

States in 1917. Since then the corn borers have multiplied in great numbers

and are estimated to cause losses of 50 million bushels of corn each year. With

the aid of the close-up camera, we see in interesting detail the life-cycle of the

corn borer—from Qgg to borer, to moth, and back again to Qgg. The film

discusses control measures, tells the farmer how to recognize and where to find

the insect Qggs and the best times to use insecticides. Various insecticides are

reviewed and different types of spraying equipment are shown.

EVERYMAN'S EMPIRE. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; released 1948.

18 minutes.)

Today 152 National Forests are owned by the people of the United Stateis.

These forests contain almost one-third of the Nation's remaining saw timber.

Here, also, are vast storehouses of water from which many towns and cities

receive their entire water supply. Here grasslands provide range for cattle and

sheep of the livestock grower. Here are food and cover for wild animals and

birds—and streams for fish. In the National Forests are recreation areas for

generations of Americans.

FARM AND CITY. (1 reel, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w; released

1939. 8 minutes.)

Shows the relation of farm to city. Bears out that the economic status of one

reflects directly on the other. Especially for school use.

FARMERS OF JAPAN. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w;

released 1948. 20 minutes.)

No easy life is that of the Japanese farmer. He farms pretty much in the

manner his father did and his father before him, using the same primitive tools

and getting from the land not much more than a bare sustenance. The film

documents the activities of one such farmer—his work and way of life. Of

general interest to all audiences.

21
Scene from Farmers of Japan

FEEDING FARM ANIMALS. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound,

b/w; released 1946. 16 minutes.)

A carefully prepared mixture of information and entertainment designed to

give basic facts on feeding and to stimulate the desire of farmers to learn more

from bulletins, magazines and books. There are scenes from a number of

States, and the film should be useful in all parts of the country. The information is presented as practical advice from an experienced farmer to his young

neighbor. The good health, economy and greater production that come with

proper feeding are emphasized. In everyday terms the old farmer describes the

economy. The stately white pines have always been a major crop and one of

the principal money-makers for the region. Their scenic value, too, cannot be

34
minimized. The Northeast forests are a familiar playground to many Americans who are attracted to them by their traditional beauty and recreational facilities. The film shows that blister rust endangers the white pines of those

forests and must be stamped out or controlled to preserve our white pine

heritage.

Scene from Outbreak

OUTBREAK. (3 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; released 1949. 29

minutes.)

havoc to the livestock industry of every country it touched. The film documents

foot-and-mouth disease from its earliest history to the outbreaks in the United

States and Mexico. It shows what happened during the 1929 outbreak in California, and uses this occurrence to show how the disease was stopped in its

tracks by the combined efforts of local, State, and Federal agencies, using every

possible eradication method known. A Mexican sequence brings the data on

the disease up to 1949, and tells what the Mexican and United States Governments are doing cooperatively to combat it.

PAUL BUNYAN HAD A SON. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color;

released 1948. 13 minutes.)

A story of white pine blister rust in the North Central States. During the years

of national growth, when the country was bursting out of its frontiers, a huge

swath was cut on the face of America by the hewing down of its impressive

forests. Indiscriminate logging practices laid low the forests of the States

bordering on the Great Lakes. The abundant white pine forests of that region

were almost entirely depleted. Folklore has it that Paul Bunyan, the legendary

giant of the lumbering country, cut down the great forests. This film tells of a

new Bunyan, Paul's son John, who is the symbol of conservation. Under John's

care the white pines have come back on the land. Now they must be protected

from blister rust. The film shows the damage done by blister rust and explains

what steps have been taken in the Lake States to stop the spread of that disease.

PINE WAYS TO PROFIT. (2 reels, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w;

released 1938; revised 1944. 9 minutes.)

Shows the causes and efl^ects of wind erosion and dust storms on the southern

Great Plains, and steps taken to reclaim ruined land. The rainfall in this area,

if conserved, is usually sufficient to produce good crops. The urgent need is

to conserve the rainfall so that a cover crop can be grown to hold the soil in

place. To do this the Soil Conservation Service recommends certain farm practices, including contour tillage, terracing, strip cropping with alternate strips of

wind-resistant crops, sodding, planting of windbreaks, and the construction of

dams, all of which are demonstrated in this film.

RAINDROPS AND SOIL EROSION. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color;

released 1947. 21 minutes.)

Through the use of close-up photography, raindrops are shown to be the cause

b/w; released 1932. 53 minutes.)

The honeybee, sole manufacturer of beeswax and honey, is even more useful to

man as nature's agent in cross pollination. Many plants would fail to seed, and

many orchards fail to bear fruit but for the work of the bees. The picture

photographed at the Government apiary at Somerset, Md., describes in interesting detail the life and work of the bees. Unusual close-up photography.

37
REALM OF THE WILD. (3 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; released 1945.

27 minutes.)

One-third of all our big game animals and myriad smaller animals and birds

claim the National Forests as their home. This picture shows many of them

in their natural haunts. It also shows that the area of land and its capacity to

produce food for wildlife are both limited. For this reason wildlife populations

must also be limited—^kept in proportion to the land's productive capacity.

1948. 20 minutes.)

The Tongass National Forest—Uncle Sam's largest—lies in southeast Alaska,

1,000 miles north of Seattle. For many years community development and

prosperity have hinged mainly on the fishing industry. But there is a tremendous undeveloped natural resource on the Tongass—timber. Properly utilized,

the Tongass timber could support several large pulp mills for all time and

double southeast Alaska's population of 30,000 citizens. This would mean

more than strengthening the local welfare—it would add to the security of

our nation.

released 1949. 19 minutes.)

Shows that the farmer depends upon water to raise his crops and livestock,

and the nation in turn depends upon him to guard its precious water supply

through soil and water conservation practices. Water is necessary to all life

but it can be a terrifying enemy in the form of devastating floods. The film

shows that conservation farming helps to keep the water in the soil where it

falls as rain or snow, thus preventing run-off and flood, and in arid country is

the means of utilizing every drop of available water. Sequences show farmers

and ranchers in different regions of the country farming the conservation way,

guarding the nation's water, raising their crops, and doing both bettei: than

ever before. Excellent photography, effective narration, and original music

score.

WETLANDS. (1 reel, 16 mm. and 35 mm., sound, b/w; released 1944.

11 minutes.)

Shows where our 120 million acres of wetland are located. Points out that 78

million of these acres will serve us best if left in their natural state for the production of timber and the preservation of wildlife. Thirty-one million acres

are shown to be suited to farming if properly drained. A section of the film

illustrates briefly the principal types of water control and methods of land

drainage. Through the use of these methods, farmers, working together, can

improve drainage on land now being farmed, and bring into production land

that is now too wet for any production at all. Recommended audiences:

Farmers in Atlantic Seaboard and Gulf States; Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri

Valleys.

WHAT IS A FARM WORTH? (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color; released

1947. 14 minutes.)

charts. The group then examines a farm. They study its soil map^ tak^ soil

samples with an augur, and see the profile in a highway bank. They check on

the erodability of the soil, the pasture it supports, and the weeds that grow

on it. Water supply, drainage system, and buildings are examined. The kind

of community and the nearness of the farm to highway, school, church, village,

and hospital are considered. Estimates are made on long-term earning power

based on average yields under average management.

WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST. (2 reels, 16 mm., sound, color;

released 1942. 20 minutes.)

This insidious disease entered the United States at the beginning of this century. The picture shows the areas affected; the complete life cycle in association with currant and gooseberry plants ; how the disease enters and kills white
