edge she has acquired in the past two years, for she never lived on a farm.
While Billy Wilder, who directs Ginger, Ray Milland, et al, in his first assignment with a megaphone, arranged a scene. Ginger had a few things to say of the 4R outfit.
"We now have fourteen Guernsey cows — pure-breed Guernseys," she tells you proudly, "and twenty-two mixed breed. We have sixty chickens, Plymouth Rocks, and 220 acres under cultivation."
The 4R is but partly stocked, and only recently was equipment installed which permits the milk to meet Oregon standards for Grade A. Now that the new barn has been completed and the electric milking machinery is operating, the pure-breed Guernseys are proving their value, and soon the twenty-two mixed breed will be replaced.
"But," cautions Ginger, "this isn't going to be done immediately. Guernsey cows are expensive. They probably will cost $400 each, and possibly more since everything is going up."
The boss of the 4R is especially proud of her chickens. "They lay absolutely enormous brown eggs, extra rich in vitamins. We sell them at two cents a dozen over the market for white ones."
You may be certain that Ginger is watching the income and outgo on the ledger of the 4R, since it is a matter of pride and scruples with her that the ranch shall pay its way. Many motion picture people have bought ranches as playthings,

as they would buy a yacht," she explained. "But other people — real farmers and ranchers — have to make their places pay, and it isn't fair to go into their community, compete with them and even take some of their markets with the produce from a ranch that is subsidized by a motion picture salary."
But even should Ginger fail to make her ranch pay its way, she has a home there that many would consider worth all that it may cost. It is a comfortable sort of place that fits into the scenery and by renovation she has made it as modern as a motion picture script. The original dining room, kitchen and two small bedrooms have been changed but little. She has added a living room and two bedrooms so there now are bedrooms for Mrs. Rogers, Ginger, the maid, and a guest room.
The biggest problem faced by the Boss of the 4R is Hollywood. She has been so busy with pictures she has been able to spend but little time on the ranch these past six months, and prospects for the next six are no better.
Next year may be different. At least Ginger declares she is determined to arrange her picture schedule for 1943 so it will permit her three uninterrupted months bossing the 4R in person. And any time she wishes, she can return to Hollywood in 15 hours by automobile.
And if she is unable to get tires — the rubber situation being what it is — for her car, she rates priority on retreads for her milk truck, and she always can hitch a ride to Medford and catch a train. I
