Abstract: The motion picture program of the U. S. Department of Agriculture contemplates a gradual changeover from silent to sound films, largely of the lecture type. A few sound films have been made, but realization of plans for distribution has been slow for these reasons; (1) The depression has hit farmers harder than any other class. Most of our 4000 County Agricultural Agents can not now buy sound equipment at any price; (2) the cost of portable sound equipment has been outrageously high; (3) uncertainty as to the ultimate development of 16-mm. sound-on-film equipment has tended to delay decisions as to the purchase of equipment. The Department feels that there can be no notable development in the field of educational sound films until very cheap and efficient sound equipment is available.
