CLASS 2 — Industries, Forestry, Agriculture 35 REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER A-296 Irrigation in Alberta Essanay Panorama of the town of Alberta, Canada, with interesting and instructive views of the method of flooding the land from a huge dam. The water is conducted along a main ditch for a short distance and is then stopped and allowed to back up until enough has collected to flow out through smaller channels and spread evenly over the land. The result has been to transform a barren countryside into a most fertile and productive region. A-311-b With the Fishermen of the Deep Bray Pictograph A trip to the fishing banks in the Atlantic. A trap is laid for the fish. The net is arranged like a funnel and the fish swim into it. A homely skate, or sea monkey is caught. The fishing is interrupted by a shark, but he is caught and proves to be only a hammerhead, which is harmless. There are many good closeups in this reel which make it very interesting. A-313-b Chickens as Big as Turkeys Bray Pictograph The light Bramah of India has been bred for the past 200 years for size and is a famous egg layer. Their eggs for setting are worth $2.00 each. They weigh 36 ounces to the dozen while the average dozen eggs weigh 26 ounces. When each chick is hatched its pedigree number is recorded in the web of its feet. This reel is very interesting to all poultry lovers as well as others.
