in WHEAT FILM
Kansas Farm Life Is Vividly
and Accurately Portrayed.
Picture Being Made for State
Council of Defense.

The biblical parable of the sower
who went forth to sow has been made
into a motion picture scenario
A film of about 1000 feet, made
under actual Kansas conditions, with
actual Kansas farmers as principals,
with a Kansas girl to fill out the love
plot which it is said every successful
film must have. is being completed
this week for the Kansas council of
defense for use in its wheat drive, and
will be shown in the movie theaters
of the state.
winning With Wheat is the title
of the film and the prologue shows
the sayings, Some seed fell on I'M
prepared ground and "Other fell on
good ground and sprang up and bore
an hundredfold.''
The play has an unusually strong
human interest appeal, especially
since there is a total lack of the
grotesque and impossible costume and
acting of the typical film farmer.
Feature Kansas Farmer.
A young man is the hero, of course.
and the father is strong type OF the
Kansas farmer. Contrary to tradi-
ton. but in line with facts, he wears
no long whiskers. An examination of
stills from the action" shows that
the acting is exceptionally well done,
expression that the play is sure to be
great artistic triumph.
The film undoubtedly will attract
much attention in the motion picture
world, as il is staged with the real
material thruout and there is no hol-
low sham about it. Considerable
technical skill has been displayed in
the photography, as it employs the
latest tricks in 'fade-outs," close
ups" and dissolving views.
In brief, the plot is that of the son,
who reads the appeal of the Kansas
council of defense to raise more
wheat, especially by the employment
of better farming methods, and Sc
cures his fathers consent to try out
field by approved methods. The
son beats his dad in the competition,
and at the same time wins the girl.
Beautiful Kansas Scenery.
There is a lot of beautiful Kansas
scenery for the background and one
of the charming touches is the mid
afternoon lunch in the wheat field
which the mother has brought to the
/ father, son and harvest hand Many
a city man will feel the touch of a
caressing hand from the distant past
on his heart strings as he sees the old
away saying, Those actors don't
know anything about farming" like
they do after the laboriOus efforts of
perfectly good-intentioned actors, por-
traying "old-homestead" stuff with
out knowing the difference between a
clevis and a self-feeder.
Final dates have not been set, but
they are being scheduled so that man
ayers of theaters will soon know def
initely when the film is available.
Several copies will be made so as to
afford wide circulation.
