Like the phonograph, the moving pic ture machine is to be made to serve a more worthy purpose than gathering tn the nickels and dimes at small the ater doors. It is to be put to the most practical purpose imaginable showing modern methods on the farm. C. W. Martin, an Omaha Insurance man, has demonstrated that the-moving picture machine was made for a more worthy purpose thau reproduc ing a prize fight by rounds, showing children how daring firemen rescue people from burning buildings" or throwing upon a white sheet a Mex ican bullfight or the dancers of a bal let show. . As a result of a conference with the managers of the national corn exposi tion, which is to be held at Omaha Dec. 9 to 19, Martin is visiting the "moder farms of Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska and making pictures which are to be later shown at the big agri cultural show In Omaha and the vari ous colleges and experiment stations In the west. Farmers will be shown on the canvas using the latest planting, cultivating and harvesting machinery. says an Omaha correspondent of the Chicago News. While a lecturer ex plains the process the model farmers will be seen going about their work. Every one will ' be Interested In knowing something, more of the proc ess responsible for the loaf of bread that comes to the table dally. The moving picture camera will show the modern wheat drill at seeding time, the perfection self binder which . cuts the grain, binds, bunches, ready for the shockers at one process, and the modern steam thrasher which cuts the bands from the bundles, feeds the grain into the machine with more than human precision, separates the grain from the straw, fans and cleans it ready for the great mills and elevates the grain into the wagon ready for its Journey from the farm to the flouring mills.

De- Their Mission Is to Supply the mand For New Forests. B. H. Green of Monterey, Cal., has sent out a circular giving information regarding the tin can clubs through whose beneficent activities he expects to see the United States supplied with needed forests. The attempts to cultivate tree claims in the Dakotas many years ago were rather discouraging, says the National Magazine, but Mr. Green insists that he has been successful in planting tree seeds, nuts and cuttings in refuse tiu cans and can how show an oak tree twenty feet high, only eight years of age, and also a redwood tree, grown from seed, which Is now fully thirty feet high and only twelve years of age. . Mr. Green Insists that a tomato can with a fair sized' hole'punched in' the bottom and filled with good .earth Is just the thing heeded to start a tree In and that if the earth is never allowed to become dry the growth of the young tree will be amazing. Later the little trees are transplanted without remov ing from the cans, for the rust eats away the can sufficiently to allow the roots to free themselves as they need more room.
