had many offers for his book

on his - years experience with

No one Is better qualified TO tell
the true conditions in Japan than
Jimmy, whose articles, Why ia
pan Can't Win" are now running
in the Hearst newspapers.
Young was thrown in iall In
Japan on the charge of knowing
political secrets and, frankly, what
he doesn't know about the Orien-
tails isn't worth knowing. He also
has been approached about being
technical advisor on a story laid
in Japan which is 10 be made by

STUDIOS CARRY ON

David Rose mot Judy Garland's
husband but Para's production

after the first bewildering excite
ment the Hollywood studios will
settle down TO uninterrupted pic
ture making just as the London
studios did. He and Mrs. Rose and
Fay Wray were having cocktails
at the Stork Club-and ! enjoyed
the talk with them just before
we caught the train.
David told me he had completed
"Hatters Castle" with Robert
Newton, Evelyn Williams and Deb
orah Corle and that he will re-
turn TO London after the first OF
the year. He said that studio space
is al a premium and that picture
goes right ahead, although
the government controls all STU

Achievement
BY CHARLES GENTRY

! THE STEPHEN BENET short
story, The Devil and Daniel Web
ster," finally reaches the screen as
"All That Money Can Buy" a pic
ture which we truly consider a
cinematic achievement.
This miniature classic, because
the story isn't a long one. was
first published in a national maya
zine two years ago and later re-
printed several times, read and re-
read. then staged on Broadway.
Now is has been adapted to a
medium we consider particularly
we'll suited TO its fantasy. its salty
humor and its stirring drama.
The story of the New England
farmer who sold his soul 10 the
devil for seven years of prosperity
and then had to turn 10 the mighty
orator, Webster, to break the bar
gain. has taken its place along
with "Huckleberry Finn" and THE
Legend of Sleepy Hollow" as an
American classic.

Claiming the rights. Byrnie Foy
at Twentieth is supposed TO have

Sam Bischoff production with the
same title has been registered with
the Hays office.
I heard an amazing story that
Sam Bischoff has received a letter
signed by 10 American-born Japa-
nese living in Los Angeles begging
for work In Burma Road. The
startling angle is that they say
they will work free in the picture,
with the studio having the right
to turn over their combined sala-
ries 10 buy defense bonds for
Uncle Sam or any of the war aid

The letter said: This is the best

trapping licenses in 1899, the
latest year for which figures are
available, according to a COM
pilation by the Fish and Game
service, United States Depart
ment Of the Interior. The COM
pilation included hunting lice
nses alone in q states and, in
the others, the fishing and trap
ping licenses that were combin-
ed with those for hunting.
As was true in 1898, the big
five for 1899 was headed by
Michigan, with ill., 33 licenses
issued. Pennsylvania, was sec
ond with 661 $50; New York,
third with SOL ,946; Ohio fourth
with 521 1868; and Indiana, fifth
with 358,386.
Federal migratory bird stamps,
commonly known as duck sta
mpS, also were issued to 100,0 1000
more Sportsmen in the 1899 sea-
son, a total of I'LL, 561 stamps
being sold to hunters of migra-
tory waterfowl.
The total paid for state lie
enses and federal duck stamps
was more than $14,100,000.
The federal stamps, at 81 each
are required of all waterfowl
hunters over 16 years old, in adj
dition to state licenses. While
issued for the fall hunting sea-
son, they remained on sale until
June 80, 1910.
On the basis of license re-
turns, officials of the Fish and
Wildlife service believe that the
number of hunters has continu-
ed to increase. From 1885 to
1888 the increase was at the rate
of half a million a year. The
tabulation showed $3.50, 900 lie
enseS and the tabulation in 1888
was 7,524,000. In 1889, the total
increased by 122, 900.

DEMONSTRATION SHOWS
VALUE OF MANURE

DEMONSTRATION SHOWS
VALUE OF MANURE
That livestock feeding in
connection with the operation
of an irrigated farm not only
provides a dependable market
for feed crops but also returns
valuable fertilizer to the land,
is well demonstrated in expert
ments conducted by two field
stations of the department of
agriculture, says G. H. Bing-
ham, irrigation specialist at
Montana State college.
At the Huntley Field station
in Montana barnyard manure
was worth 1888 a spreader load
according to a recent study
comparing the yields and rela-
tive value of crops in two six
year rotations. The expert
ment was carried on for a 12-
year period.
Results of lamb feeding trials
carried on the last few years
at the Belle Fourche field sta
ton in South Dakota show that
a pen of 100 lambs fed 100
days in an open feed lot wi h
ample bedding will produce
from 80 to SO spreader loads
of manure. Or to put it an
other way, three lambs fed 12O
days in an open lot with ample
bedding will produce one
spreader load of manure. On
the basis of the Huntley sta
TONS findings that one load of
manure is worth 1888, than
each lamb will produce manure
worth approximately Sill.
Bingham points out that even
in favorable years, nearly half
the profit in lamb feeding may
be in the manure left in the
feed lot after the lambs have
gone to market. In unfavorable
years, the fertilizer value of
the manure may represent the
only profit from the feeding
enterprise. But even in the
poor years, he says, feeding is
worthwhile because the fertil-
izer is needed on the irrigated
farm to maintain crop yields
at relatively high levels.
