BEACH RESENTS ATTACK ON ART
 OF THE MOVIES

Rex Beach, president of the Au. thors league as well as president or Eminent Authors Pictures, mas raj lied to the defense of the motion-plc- ture as an art. Robert J. Wlldnack' also of the Authors league, had at tackled the screen medium in an article in the bulletin of the league, and the reply of MT. Beach is made Tn the same publication.
 "Mr. Wildhack's article is interest ing not only by reason of what ne says, but also by reason of what he leaves unsaid," says MT. Beach. Any thoughtful expression o1 oplnloil about motion pictures is especially ln- teresting at this time because of the rapidly growing recognition of the authors place and importance in the screen world. Whether MT. Wildhack is entirely correct in his conclusions IS another matter. Like many who write of the movies, he appears to err in attributing to the art those failures and shortcomings which are. peculiar to the business. Upon the screen he sees reflected not the shadows of the players, but the crimes of the pro- ducers.
 Give Them Chance"
 "Channing Pollock's recent sul- phuric comments on the vertical drama were directed at the malprac- tices of the trade-he had no quarrel with the pictures themselves-but MT. Wildhack argues that the screen as medium of expression is not suited to the author, and declares that writ CTS will not be happy in availing themselves of it. That remains to be seen. Let's give them chance to try before we decide.
 "Nor can agree with him that an authors main stock in trade is words, and that the skillful use of them in plot development, style, character analysis, and the like is what makes him an author. How about the plot itself? Is there no importance to the idea. the theme, the story upon and about whic hthe words are draped 9
 Some Statistics.
 "Ten million Americans go to the movies every day-or else figures lie, We are picture mad, and the rest of the world is not far behind us. In Great Britain, to quote a recent dis patch, there are 4,000 picture theatres and it is proposed to build 4,O00 more France has 1000 and that number is soon to be trebled
 "The film speaks every language All it requires to make it eloquent is the magic justice from the transform CT. This whirling globe of ours is tangled up in celluloid like dancing darkey in the serpentine paper of a carnival. The day has come when an author can tell his tales to black and white and brown and yellow men the world around, provided he has a tale to tell" dA#

LIVE STOCK I'M THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIAN

A. B. H, San Diego, CAL, writes: 1

cattle, shep and hog raising business IN
the southern Appalachian region. Is
cheap mountain and obtainable? How
many months of the year is range avail
able? Can alfalfa be raised without
further irrigation? What is the approri-
mite price of mountain land?
There is no reason why one should
not be able to purchase considerable
areas of mountain land at a very
reasonable cost. The price of this
land naturally varies according to
location and accessibility to railroads,
schools and churches. There is much
good land available and then, of
course, there is some that is not so
desirable. In the high mountains,
say $500 feet and upward, there is
likely to be more or less snow for
anywhere from one to three months.
Seasons very materially, as you
doubtless realize, during the period
of snow. One must feed live stock
quite literally, and Of course, the
grass would be very short and sparse
for at least three months more of
the year. In other words, there
should be considerable grazing avail

A Boil WeaviI School

Georgia farmers have lost at least
$3o,O0O,OO0. How did it happen? 1t
represents principally the damage
done to our cotton crop by the boil
WeeVil. This damage has been chiefly
done in the southern half of the
state. Of course some injury has
been suffered in the southern half
OF north Georgia, but it is as moth
ing compared to the terrific losses
experienced in the southern part OF
the state. In many of the north
Georgia counties, on the other hand,
an increased yield is recorded this
year as compared with last year
AS the weevil has apparently only
established itself in the northern
part Of the state we may anticipate
greater damage from it next year
than has occurred this year, pro-
vided always, of course, that nature
does not take a hand by introducing
some freezes this winter of the be-
low-zero type. Of course man can
do very much to protect himself
against the depredations of this In
sect, and unless we do this ou1
losses might even be doubled an

Two trapping comrades were talk
ing things over outside the post
office. Each had just got his check
for furs from a large fur house. 1t
happened that their shipments had
each been of approximately the
same number Of skins and, as far
as they could tell, of the same quail
ity. And they had both shipped to
the same fur house. Yet the one
trapper's check was more than the
others.
On the face Of it, it looked like
poor service on the part of the fur
house-but it was nothing of the
kind The truth of the whole mat
ter was that though the catches
were approximately of the same size
and quality when taken, the poorly
paid trapper had carelessly wasted
his own money. He had trapped some
good furs, but he hadn't prepared
and shipped them right. He had
failed, through slipshod methods of
skinning, stretching, drying and
packing, to preserve the full orig
inal value in his pelts.
The grader employed by the large
house is a skilled worker and he
honestly strives to mark each pelt
| at it's full value. But he is not
magician or miracle man; he can't
| put into the furs what isn't there.
He can't bring back tainted or part
| ly decomposed skin to it's original
state of health, and he cannot brush
| away the scars on the pelt due to
trapper's careless knife.
He can't re-stretch poorly
stretched skin once it is completely
| dry, nor can he make right an over
| stretched skin. He can't case a pelt
which has been ignorantly taken off
| open; he can't fasten up fur which
| has loosened from the hide. He can't
| put in head or a foot where there
is no head or foot, and he can't re-
vive a tainted tail caused by the
| tail-bone having been left in.
Sometimes it is possible to give
pelt a little fixing and help it to
merit a higher class; and the big
fur house follows this practice. But
if the injury or defect is serious, no
amount Of fixing can improve the
fur's value.
So you see the fur house can do
just so much, and the rest is up to
you. The big fur house is anxious
to send you free all necessary in
formation on the proper methods of
skinning, stretching, drying, packing
and shipping furs. You should have
this information and follow the rules
carefully. It's up to you TO decide

School Opens in January


1t is the purpose and intention of
| the Boil Weevil school,, which is to
be held at Athens beginning on jan
uary 10th, to acquaint our farmers
with every phase of the life history
of this insect, to show exactly how
| he goes to work and how best to
| overcome his depredattons through
| checkmating his development and
spread. The whole question Of soil
preparation and fertilization, as re-
| lated to the soil provinces of Geor-
| gia, will be taken UP and discussed
| in detail. The best varieties of cot
| ton to plant under boil Weevil con-
ditions will be discussed and de-
| scribed, and the sources from which
seed may be obtained will be ex-
planned. The types Of cultivators
to use will not only be shown; but
the students will have an opportu-
nifty to handle them individually.
There will be a collection of dust
spraying machines on hand and the
whole process, of how to purchase
land apply 40 per cent siren 9Th cal
}cium arsenate as a means of poison
ing the weevil will be illustrated
and explained in detail. This par
ticular school is not to be a series
of lectures, but there are to be
short, concise talks followed by
complete and thorough demonstra-
tons. In other words, after all the
theory of the poisoning Of the wee
vii has been fully explained and IL

charge Of this work in the state of
Georgia during the past year, then
a survey will be made of the ma
chinery and equipment to use in ap
plying the dust spray. The actual
machinery will be here and may
therefore be examined and handled,
the good points or defects pointed
out, as the case may be, thus en-
abling the student to form his own
opinion and judgment as to which
type he desires to purchase and
use No phase of the boil weevil
problem will be overlooked or neg
lected in this school, and those
coming here may rest assured that
the slight cost involved will be re-
paid to them many times.

Destroying Weevi1s With Carbon

Destroying weevi1s with Carbon
Besu1phide
A. L. r., Abba, Ca, writes: 1 want
to use carbon bsulphide or my corn as
the " eevils are very bad. The crib is
16x2O, and 1 have about $50 bushels
of corn in it. The crib is not tight.
Could I use carton bisulphide success
fully in crib of this KIND ana now
much will it require
1t would be rather difficult to
treat corn satisfactorily in crib
of the character you describe. The
more open the structure naturally
the more difficult it is to destroy
WeeVils. Of course, it takes a large
amount of carbon bisulphide as COM
pared with the quantity which it is
necessary to use in a tight crib. l
suggest that you put battons on the
crib if it is at all practicable and
that you cover the outside with
sheets to help hold the fumes in
side.
You should, of course, put the
carbon bisulphide in shallow pans
on top Of the corn and cover the
crib with sheets. Let the fumes re-
main in the corn say for 80 hours
pr more. In other words, do not I'M
cover or open it up until the e.
piration Of this period Of time. Pre-
sumably you will need to use six
to eight pounds per ton of grain
and probably even as high as IL
| pounds under the conditions de-
| scribed in your letter.
You do not say whether this corn
is clean husked or slip-husked. 1t is
much easier to treat corn which has
| been completely husked with carbon
| bisulphide than that which is Slip
shucked, though in that event you
| will find the treatment fare more
successful than where the corn has
| not been huSked at all.
You will naturally need to repeat
this treatment several times during
the season. There is no doubt about
the effectiveness of carbon bisul-
phide as a means of destroying corn
| weevils when the grain Is pu in a
comparatively tight crib where the
fumes can be confined and as it
were held in place for some hours.
BY taking care and exercising pa
thence, however, we are disposed to
think you can treat this corn quite
successfully if you follow the meth
cd suggested.

intended for this crop should now
be broken deeply, and at least two

Knowledge Is Best Weapon
What can we do under such cir

has engaged the serious attention
of the Georgia State College of Agri'

During that time a persistent cam

preached and practiced. The college
farm is a living example Of what
may be done in Georgia in the way
of building up and maintaining
