SUGGESTION FOR
ORPHANS OF
THE PEN

Motion picture goers who have
ambitions to write for the screen
should see Girls Men Forget,
the Trio Production at the Strand
Theater this week. This is the
opinion of Percy Heath, the
scenarist who, in collaboration
with Director Maurice Campbell,
prepared the continuity of the
picture.
Girls Men Forget" is an
adaptation from story by Fan
mic Kilbourne which appeared in
the American Magazine under the
title of "The Girf~Who Was the
Life of the Party"
1.-The story in it's original
FORM" Mr.. Heath said, lis just
the type of story that producers,
who do not wish to satiate the
public with constant sex orgies,
are looking for. l feel certain
that Mr.. Campbell and myself
have retained the spirit and
much of the original in our
screen adaptation. Those changes
that we made were necessary to
tell the story adequately in it's
new form.
1.-THE point is, though, that
Fannie Kilbourne's story is just
the sort of story that scenario
editors are forever urging aspir-
ing writers to submit to them.
Tell about the lives Of the people
next door to you the editors say.
The usual complaint of the begin
ner is that there is no drama in the
lives of the people next door.

Root Succulent Feeds

the Value as a iced is about equal

tabagas. Less grain is required in
the feed ration when silage is

COW will not hold up her milk

that root succulence forces the
COW to- produce more than any
other succulence save pasture.
Oftentimes a COW will turn near
ly all of her surplus fat into milk
before she will let down on her
milk flow, when fed root crops.

Roots may be substituted for
grain or other concentrates to the
extent of replacing one-half the

centrates when roots can be pro-
duced and stored for 81 per ton.

Arrayed in fantastic military CO.

swinging swords of wood, the army
Of Penrod Schofield and Sam Will
liams battles with the army of Roddy
Bits, their mortal boyhood enemy.
Little Verman is captured and hid
den in the clothes closet of Penrod's
sister. The boy goes to sleep, cape
falling over him. When the girl
opens the door, the cape, without vi
sible means of locomotion, ambles
out of. the room, throwing the entire
household into state of panic.
81 Penrod and Sam organize secret
society with the initiation of George
Bassett, the incest and prettiest boy
in town, as the first event. AS far
as the kids are concerned, the affair
is a huge success, until Mrs. BaSsett
relates to Penrod's mother and Sans
father the extent of the children's
mischief On top of this comes the
complaint of Deacon Bits that his
son has been abused by the kids,
they having daubed him with tar,
covering his clothes and face with
the sticky stuff. Sam is led away by
his father while Penrod is ordered
to the barn to await the usual thrash
ing.
Periods only friends now are Sam
and his faithful dog, the rest of the
children in the neighborhood having
been forbidden to play with him.
Roddy Bits car kills Penrod's dog,
which throws the child into mood
of sorrow and mourning. He buries

what he pleases.
Roddy Bits is forbidden access to
the secret society, but his father
buys the lot where the society meets.
Roddy and his father arrive and de-
mand possession of the property
just as Penrod and Sam are at the
height of their careers, running a

(By Geo. o. Jorgensenl

There are several root crops
that can be used as succulent
feeds. Mangels, tllrnips, carrots,
sugar beets and rutabagas may
all be used to advantage in local
tiles where they can be best
grown. Mangels in many local
tiles are the best because they
yield heavier and they are easier
to harvest than other root crops.
Around Askoy they do not seem
to thrive so we'll as rutabagas.
Turnips are good succulent
feed; they are not so valuable per
ton because they contain more
water than other root crops. They
are very valuable as catch crop
because they can be sown late in
the season and be made to yield
quite we'll with no care or culti-
walton. Carrots are good succu-
lent feed for horses and can also
be used for cattle. They are not
so economical for this country be-
cause the yield and cost per ton
do not compare favorably with
other crops. Sugar beets are
perhaps the richest root feed
mentioned above, but the low
yield and their tendency to cause
scours eliminates them from be-
ing used here. Rutabagas are
really the only ideal all around
root crop that can be grown
around Askov. The only objec-
ton is that it sometimes tends to
faint the milk Of the COWS eating
it, but this is easily taken care of
by feeding after milking.
There is a good market for ru-
tabagas around Askov nearly ev-
cry year so that they can be sort
ed, the best going to market and
the balance used as feed for
mich cows. When the market
goes too low they can be fed to
good advantage as succu1ent feed
for dairy cows. Even if silage is
fed it is sometimes advisable to
feed roots. This has been shown
in three experiments by Shaw
and Norton at the Michigan Sta
ton and a trial by Morrison and
Humphrey at the Wisconsin Sta
ton. Averaging together the
results of the Michigan trials, it
is found that when the COWS were
fed the excellent ration Of 9.2 lbs.
concentrates, SO lbs. clover hay,
and 1913 lbs. corn silage, the
average yield of milk was 22.5
lbs. a day and of fat -O.88 lbs.
When there was added to this ra-
ton 1873 lbs. Of roots per head
daily, the daily yield of milk was
increased 1.3 lbs. and of fat 0.05
10. An increase of this, sort is
important for the breeder seek
ing high records of production.
However, this practice is rarely
economical for dairymen in gen
eral, for in these trials the in
crease in production was not
great enough to offset the cost of
the roots added to the ration;
taking the market price for the
milk" The above was taken
from Feeds and Feeding, by
Henry and Morrison, pages 39f
and 1872. .,... /
