Producer p-el-jh-sh-c Guide 15c Devon beef cattle farming, llmin 16-si-sd- apply 35-si-sd-f-apply 1937 VL 636.2 "This is a very good film. The climatic and landscape settings in which the Devon cattle industry is carried on are well in- dicated, the contrast between the high moorland pastures and the well-grassed and well-cultivated lower slopes and valleys be- ing especially well seen. The shots of the farmhouse, the farm yard and the labour- ers' cottages all show characteristic fea- tures of the country. The tending and management of the herd both in the pas- tures and in the farm yard, and of its subsequent marketing form the main fea- tures of the film, and, while other activities of the farm are indicated, the emphasis throughout is rightly placed on the cattle, and a coherent and continuous picture is presented. . . The maps are adequate. The commentary is clear, matter-of-fact and in- formative, but the natural sounds are much exaggerated—cutting hay from a stack and forking straw into a shed are not noisy operations. . . The photography is excellent. (Suitable] as a classroom film for the teach- ing of geography. . . Also suitable for adults and evening classes." British film inst.

The teaching notes are adequate, and the photography good."

" Producer "This is a story of pig club activities and the activities of young men in this phase of their life in agriculture. A very fine film, well filmed in Kodachrome with fair sound. While this film shows only the Duroc breed of hogs, and thus it might be considered a commercial film, this fact in no way detracts from the film." H.L.K. Jh-sh-c-adult Pigs.
