Elaborate Settings
In "Scotch" Village
Arranged for Bunty

Every one knows "Bunty Pulls
the Strings" 1t was considered one
OF the most delightful plays that
ever found its way to this country.
Goldwyn secured it for screening
only after a lot of lively competi-
ton Once the screen rights were
secured, the script was given to
Res inald Barker, director. with in
structions to get a perfect cast and
give 1t the sort of production that
would make it 100 per cent enter
tainment.
The scene of 'Bunty Pulls the
Strings" is a village in rural Scot
land. peopled by country folk in
whom flourish all the traditional
Scotch qualities Of thrift, humor and
"canniness." In this novel setting
takes place a humorous story, in
which the radIantly resourcefuI
Bunty. sweet-faced daughter of the
dcur Tam Biggar, plays a powerful
part.

while. An entire village was built,

with an old-world stream winding
its peaceful way under an ancient
bridge and the thatched huts of the
Inhabitants erected with absolute

at times clear, at others suffused
with the delicate lighting, endows
these beautiful backgrounds with
realism and romance.
The action of "Bunty Pulls the
strings" is Iarded with humor. Mr..
Barker, whose name has been asso-
Ciated with The Branding Iron"

Weevil Dispersion Has Begun.

Clemson College, August 30 The
bell weevil, so long as there is food
available in the cotton field, does very
little migrating during the spring
and summer; but beginning about
the middle of August, the pest is seiz-
ed by the migration instinct and be-
gins period of dispersion which
continues until stopped by the
first killing frost. This, says Prof
A. F. Conradi. entomologist, explains
to farmers why they have been OBJ
serving greater number of weevils
in their fields during the last week
or ten days than at any previous time
The weevil is now over the entire
state, specimens having been sen,
in by farmers from the extreme up
per portion of the Piedmont section
Although the weevils are more mum
erous than we expected, because Of
mild winter, every farmer should put
forth his best efforts to destroy the
weevils' winter homes. This destruc
ticn consists in cleaning up terraces
ditch banks, fence rows, the edges OF
woods, neglected orchards, and Other
places where the weevil may fine
proper shelter.
| Cover crops offer one of the bes
weapons in a weevil fight because be
sides their agricultural value In pre-
venting washing and teaching, and IL
adding vegetable matter, they serve a,
powerful cleansing crop which de
stroys the weeviIs winter quarter,
most effectively.
