42 CLASS 1 — Travel, Sports, Manners and Customs REFL NO. TITLE PROniTCER out of the two-year old baby trees to the picking and shipping of the golden crop. Lemon trees know no season. They bloom and bear at the same time all the year round. An interesting activity is that of fumigating to destroy insect pests. A balloon-like cover is placed over the tree and bug-killing gases are introduced under this. As the gases would be injurious to the tree itself if used while the sun is shining, they are used at night. Occasionally a light frost threatens injury to the crop, and to prevent this large numbers of oil heaters are placed between the trees. Lemons require careful handling and many precautions are taken to avoid marring or bruising when picking them. They are then washed and sent to the storage rooms, where they are cured and ripened for about eight weeks, after which they are sorted for size and color, individually wrapped and packed for market. An extremely interesting and instructive subject. 885 feet standard length Rental $1.25 1102 Code CEBI The Wild Turkey From the Field and Stream scries of sports pictures The wild turkey is the wariest bird that flies and great skill and patience are required in hunting him. Setting out with guides from the lodge of the Woodmont Rod and Gun Club in western Maryland, we tramp through the snow to the turkey rendezvous. Here we hide in the underbrush and after waiting until we are all but chilled through, we are rewarded by a splendid shot which brings down our first bag. This is followed by others, and we return to the lodge hungry and laden with turkeys. Rain holds us indoors for three days, after which with the snow all gone, we again sally forth — this time with even more success. And on the way home we are interested spectators while the game-keepers dig out a fox which has been making inroads on the turkey population. 981 feet standard length Rental $1.25 1103 Code CEBO Stratford-on-Avon Hep worth The subject opens with a panoramic view taken from a boat following the windings of the River Avon to the vicinity of Stratford. Then in succession are shown the birthplace of Shakespeare, the school in which he had his early education, Ann Hathaway's Cottage, "New" Place, where he spent his declining years and the two magnificent Shakespeare memorials presented respectively by George W. Childs of Philadelphia and Sir John Gower. There are other pictures of a quaint 14th Century Inn much frequented by Shakespeare, Harvard House, where the mother of John Harvard, subsequently founder of Harvard College was born, and Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare's remains are interred. A few of the scenes are somewhat marred by indifferent photography, but the subject will be of interest to those who have made or would like to make a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Immortal Bard. 705 feet standard length Rental $1.00 To secure subjects of your own choice
