GREW WHEAT

Experience of a Dakota Father
and Son on Same Farm

The following experience reported
in an Aberdeen paper is not uncom-
mon in the Dakotas:
my father was a wheat farmer.
AS far back as | a remember he
planted wheat everv year. Then he
would watch weather conditions and
worry. Of course, there were some
good years. but it seemed to me as
though NEST Of them we're poor. At
least. we were always hard up and
everything was nortgaged for every
cent that we could borrow.
Fortunately for me | was sent away
to the State Agricultural School and
you know what that meant. 1t
didn't take long for me to find out
why we had always been so poor.
When | got back home | tried to show
my father some of these things, but
do you suppose | could induce him to
let loose of wheat? couldn't make
much Roadway at it.
Finally he just wore out with worry
and the farm was left to me. 1t was
still loaded down with mortgages,
but had long ago made upmy mind
what | would do when the RESPONSE
billty rested on my shoulders.
Instead of planting all wheat put
in some barley. oats. rye. speltz, etc.
| planted some corn and the second
year | put up a silo. have had corn

New Cattle Brand
Shot Into Critter

Onida Watchman-Ralph Bagby
has another invention, this being a
buckshot brand for cattle. The own
err shoots a charge of silver shot
bearing his brand into the muscles
of the animal and thus it can be trac-
ed after the animal is turned into
meat. The advantage of this lies in
the fact that there is no other way to
identify an animal after it has been
turned into meat and the invention
should do much to discourage cattle
stealing.

The Theatres
DOROTHY GISH REHEARSED
AS REAL SCHOOL TEACHER

Before beginning her latest Triangle
photoplay, 1.-THE Little Schoolma'am,"
Dorothy Gish, who plays the name
part, spent several afternoons as CO.
teacher in the Triangle school main
tanned at the Fine Arts studio for the
dozen and odd child players employed
there. She wanted to be absolutely
correct as to schoolroom detail, and,
incidentally, she says she had a won
derfully good time and found the most
responsive and interested group of pu-
pills she had ever seen. AS the same
group of children played with her in
the picture, she was able to continue
some of the actual lessons, and her di-
rectors, the Franklin brothers, say
that this was a marked contribution
to the effectiveness and realism of the
school house scenes.
Which is an interesting example of
the care that is taken to secure atmos-
pheric detail in the making of TRAN
gle pictures.
