cusses Fattening At
f Short Course
COLLEGE STATION, Tex. Aug.
1.—Fattening poultry for market is
one phase of the farm business of- j
ten overlooked and a phase that
may be made profitable if gains of
12 per cent to 30 per cent in ten
days time are registered. Clyde In
gram. poultry specialist of the
Louisiana Extension Service, told
the poultry group at the Farmers
Short Course. A. & M. College of
Texas, Wednesday. "A pound of
gain usually results from a con
sumption of three and one-1 alf
pounds of concentrated feed," he
said.
The process of fattening poultry
is simple, requires little equipment
and the feed is easily procured and
used. During fattening the water
In the muscles is replaced largely
by oil, the flesh is enmarbled with
delicious fat, the tendons lose their
stringiness and the birds become
very plump and exceptionally well
filled In breast and back, the
speaker went on to say.
Chickens may be fattened either
In a crate or in the general pen. Mr.
Ingram said, but experience has
shown that birds gain much faster
and more economically in crates.
The battery crate used in commer
cial plants is too expensive for the
farmer producer but a home made
stationary one is easily made. Scrap
lumber and old wire will do to make
the crates in units 10 feet long. 18
inches wide and 24 inches high, di
vided into four compartments. It is
well to have the floor of the crate
30 inches above the ground and
made of ordinary plaster lath run
ning lengthwise. The front should
be slatted vertically allowing 2 1-2
Inches between them in order that
birds may reach through to eat
from the v-shaped trough which
hangs at the floor line on the
from of the crate. The crate should
be sheltered, shaded and well ven
tilated.

GALLANT CA PITULATION
Richard Dix and Esther Ralston in the Paramount talking picture,
“Wheel of Life," opening Thursday at the Capitol theater.
Bernard Fagan, i.ow showing at the
Capitol Theater.
High up into the glacial slopes of
Mount Everest, king mountain of
the world, and into the secret re
cesses of the Buddhist monatseries
of Tibet, where sacerdotal Lamas
ponder their ancient wisdom in the
light of guttering butter lamps, went
the researchers who prepared for
the filming of "The Wheel cf Life.”
Much of the action of the pic
ture. which was made with full
dialog by the players, takes place in
a temple of the Buddhist lamas or
high-priests, where only very re
cently have travelers from other
lands and of other religions been
privileged admission.
Major Fairbanks Smith, who spent
14 years in the British army in
India, near the Tibetan border in
the Punjab, was secured by Para
mount as the technical director of
the production. Major Smith's
knowledge, gained through years of
study and travel, was called upon
freely by architects, sound experts,
wardrobe designers, writers, set
dressers, property men and other
studio artisans, who had a part to
play in making the production ready
for the screen.
No picture that Paramount has
made in recent years has demanded
such assiduous research, such care
ful attention to detail, such exacting
work on t^e part of all.
Much of the genuine but mysteri
ous glamor of the Lama’s cere
monials has been transplanted
faithfully and audibly to the plot of
the film, which gets its' title from a
symbolic painting representing the
wheel of life, the philosophy of the
living, which is found in every
Buddhist monastery.
RIVOLI—SAN BENITO
A torchlight procession on the
campus, showing all the color and

by college student; for their foot-j
ball team, is graphically shown in 1
"College Love’ the Universal fcaturt
of collegiate life whicn opens at
the Rivoli theater. San Benito, Sun
day.
Since the entire picture is made
in full sound and u’alogue. this
scene, as well as ah the other se
quences of the film, is particularly
realistic. "Collpge Love" is the first
full length collpge picture In full
sound to be made and shown any
where.
On the evening before the big
game of the season, all ihe stu
dents of Caldwall college build and
light a huge bonfire and. carrying
torches, parade around the flaming
pyre. Co-eds, no less enthusiastic
than the men students, sing their
college tunes while they frolic and
skylark around the fire.
The entire gridiron contest,
which follows the next day also is
shown in complete detail with all
the excitement of the crowd, their
1 songs and cheers being reproduced
j in sound. The intimate conferences
i between the coach and the players
! between halves in the clubhouse,
as well as what actually happens in
a “huddle” in the middle of the
held, also are shown and can be
heard in accurate detail.
George Lewis, Dorothy Gulliver,
