THE CINEMA IN THE SERVICE OF AGRICULTURE
Sweden
Although Sweden does not possess any official organizations for the particular purposes of the cinematograph as applied to agriculture, the Royal Administration of Agriculture in Stockholm (Kungl. Lantbruksstyrelseri) devotes a part of its activity to this important branch of the modern cinematograph, by furnishing slides for luminous projection and agricultural films to agricultural schools and the agrarian courses organized by the Rural Economy Societies in the several provinces.
The following private organizations moreover, are interested in propaganda and teaching by means of the film.
a) The General Agricultural Society of Sweden.
b) The Junior Agricultural Union and certain cinematographic firms, such as the A. B. Svensk Filmindustri, the Tullbergs Film A. B., and the Foreningen Arme-och Marinfilm, all of Stockholm, have produced agricultural films.
Some of these organizations have promptly answered the enquiries which the I. E. C. I. addressed to Sweden, and have forwarded to the organization of the League of Nations information concerning the films they had produced on behalf of the agricultural organizations.
Thus we are informed that the General Agricultural Society of Sweden owns and exhibits films on the following subjects:
« Breeding-stock — cattle and swine; Horse breeding in the Vastergoland Province; Sheep-breeding in Sweden; Fish hatcheries, Farming in the Jantland province, the Scientific cultivation of pastureland; the Swedish Dairy Industry and the cultivation of potatoes and alimentary roots.
There are also some films on the importance and use of artificial fertilizers, with special reference to the new fertilizers produced from atmospheric nitrogen.
A fee of 2 ore per metre is charged for the hire of the films (i). Carriage is to the charge of the hirer and the fee for the censoring of agricultural films amounts to i crown for the first ioo metres of ribbon and 50 ore for every additional fifty metres.
The « Tullbergs Film » of Stockholm, founded in 1920, is concerned with the production of industrial, technical, scientific, documentary
