The Passing Show
0"O"
Film Acting Was Good, Who Was Best?
Reviewer Finds No Easy Task Judge Between Cary Cooper
Richardson Tracy and So Many Other Performers 1852

Once perhaps there was
crispness in the edges Of the
years. This was when life was
much simpler and man could
enter a new wedge of time, one
like 1853, with no ravelings of
the old wedge showing.
An element Of that simplicity
of long ago was the absence Of
Sunday drama columns. And,
naturally, of drama itself save
as life created it in the daily
affairs Of men.
It was with the coming of
drama and drama columns that
one of the most persistent dis
orders of life began. 1t is a
minor untidynesS, as compared
with the ones provided by. say,
politics, but it never changes.
At years end. it is always there
like the cluttered ash trays and
unwashed dishes of New Years
eve revels.
This is one more thing to rue
In a too rueful world.
Unfinished Business
So it is. however. that one
comes to the first Sunday of a
brave new year graphing with
the unfinished business of best
screen performances OF 1852.
There is nothing cosmically
vital about this chore. It is
Just that it is a custom, like
telling ones wife that she grows
steadily more beautiful, which
is a fine custom. especially when
it is true. A man likes to con-
form. Well, often.
Again, there is something
challenging about the whole
nonsensical business. There
are no absolutes in evaluating
acting. Standards, yes, but not
final ones. Apply them with all
the taste one possesses and it
still comes out that, on their
income tax forms. Ethel Barry
more and Marilyn Monroe are
both called actresses. Obviously,
even governments do not care.
Nevertheless. there is lot of
acting to remember from the
year just ended. Good acting
and bad acting. Good is rarer,
That is why it is the more
memorable.
The most invitingly safe spot
from which to operate in choos-
ing ones preferred performance
of year is the area Of best
pictures. The chances are good
always that one of the elements
in q best picture Is the manner
IN which it is acted. At least. it
could not possibly be badly
acted.

Laboratories, Inc, a Paramount
subsidiary. recently showed the
latest version of the Lawrence
tri-color picture tube. which re-
portedly is ready for production.
Since this can be used with

Chromatic executives are more

This year also is likely to see

In connection with this. IL
might well be noted that David

had a lot to say about transis-
tors in his year-end statement.
Transistor is not the best word
to throw at you on a Sunday
after the Christmas and New
Year holidays, but you might
as well learn about'it now.
Influential Marvel
The transistor, Mr.. Sarnof
says, is "the latest marvel of
science destined to exert a pro-
found influence on the future of
electronics and communica-
tions." A transistor consists of a
tiny bit of the metal, germani-
um. no larger than the head of
a pin. imbedded in a plastic
shell about the size Of kernel

1t can be used to perform the
same function as one of the
tubes in your radio or television
set. It is still in the laboratory,
but this could be the year of its
emergence. Last year RCA en-
gineers held a demonstration of
progress, showing. among other
things, a television set in which
transistors took the place of all
tubes but the picture tube.
The Sarnoff statement does
not directly connect the two, but
the development of the transis-
tor could bear Importantly on

Yo~H SaOe Time, Feed IF Yon.. :.
Chop Hay For Lambs
By BILL STELLMON

LESS WORK, less feeding time,
less iced waste and less feed per
pound gain-these are your likely
savings if you chop your hay in a
amb-feeding operation.
That's what Bert L. Murphy of
Blaine county found out last winter
while feeding out 1850 eve lambs
on a gain basis. Murphy had the
same feed for all lambs on his Milk
river valley farm: Alfalfa hay,
mixed whole grains and dried beet
pulp. But some of, his alfalfa was
of relatively poor quality, so he
chopped it and fed it to $50 lambs
penned separately.
Those lambs, Murphy discovered,
ate the poorer quality, chopped al
falfa without waste, ate half a pound
less grain a day-and showed up
better than the lambs on good quail
ity, whole hay. And they took less
work and less time in feeding.
Murphy never got the chance to
compare gains made by the two
groups of lambs; the Milk river
took care of that. Came the flood
last spring and Murphy moved lambs
and feed to the highest knoll on his
farm. During the subsequent 80 days
for two weeks of that time Murphy
had to boat in feed-the two groups
got well mixed and separate weigh
ing was impossible. Overall, gain
on the 1850 lambs through the ex-
tended Oct. 10-April "a feeding
period was an average 1868 pounds.
Results Favor Chopped Hay
But results were clearly in favor
of the chopped-hay group, even
without weights. So, this summer,
Murphy field-chopped 100 tons of his
alfalfa hay crop and hauled it to his
feeding corral, ready for this winters
feeding. The rest, some so tons,
went into silage, also for the lambs.
Feeding is an integral and essen
tial part of Murphy's farm plan. He
figures it is the most profitable way
to market his crops, and he knows
he needs the manure to put back on
his fields. He usually lambs out
about 100 ewes each year; then, in
the fall, buys as many more lambs as
he can feed. This year, he put over
500 Columbia-type lambs on feed.
The fattening program starts be-
fore the lambs reach the feedlot,
however. This fall, the lambs grazed
alfalfa, oat and wheat straw and a
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-02-01

7-acre field of mang1es that Murphy
planted to replace sugar beets. They
got pound of grain a day in two
feelings while they were on the
mangles-a combination, Murphy
figured, that would give him car
load of top-end, 100-pound lambs
before drylot feeding began.
HOMEGROWN Grains
Home grown grains also are i'm
portant in the feeding program, with
barley, oats and some wheat regu-
larly used in the ration. This year,
Murphy is mixing all three, adding
Is pounds of wheat to IS pounds of
oats and barley, and feeding at the
rate of l to 2 pounds day. Wheat,
Murphy believes, is one of the best
feeds for fattening lambs, though
it shouldn't be fed straight. Last
year, he got good results with bar
ley and frozen wheat in a 2-to-1
combination.
With his chopped hay piled right
in the feeding corrals this winter,
Murphy thinks it will take less than
an hour to teed night and morning.
He gives the lambs as much hay as
they will clean up, mixing the grain
in and feeding in hunks. Alfalfa
silage is fed once a day.
M;<r HraS, rI.xx
Mixing grain with hay in feeding
is advisable, Murphy says. Lambs
eat the mixture slower than they
would grain alone, and that gives
them more benefit from the concen-
trate. In last years feeding, he no.
ticed quite a bit of grain going
through lambs getting whole hay and
grain separately, but not through
those getting mixed chopped hay and
grain.
Murphy's feeding corral, built in
natural, river-bottom shelter,
needed considerable repairing after
the flood. In layout, it is flexible
enough that he can enlarge or re-
duce the area according to number
of lambs on feed. Enclosed in the
feedlot and handy for both feeder
and lambs are large shed, the pile
of chopped hay and good watering
system-pump, storage tank and two
electrically heated, thermostat-con-
trolled watering units that can
handle 1000 lambs. These units,
Murphy says, paid for themselves in
a years time.
