- Abstract
- Motion pictures, “just around the corner” for many years, have at last “come into their own.” Although educators proved by numerous tests and studies that lessons, taught through the medium of motion pictures, were learned faster, retained longer, and were more thoroughly assimilated than by any other method of teaching, only industry had really recognized these facts and put them into action up to the start of the war. It took a world upheaval to break the inertia, and give motion pictures their rightful place in training programs. In the agricultural field films are used to assist in the conversion of our agricultural production to the needs of total war. This, too, is a training job—the production of new and unfamiliar crops, efficient methods and short cuts to offset the lack of labor, good soil conservation practices, etc. Agricultural pictures are made also to assist in building and maintaining morale, to inform concerning war food conditions, and to promote definite agricultural programs. Industry has cooperated by producing pictures designed to help the war food situation. Foreign governments, notably the British and Canadian, have also produced and made available in the. United States many pictures on the production and conservation of food. These agricultural pictures are bound to have a tremendous effect in the prosecution of the war.
