JUST A BUNCH OF BELLBOYS Hollywood To George Bernard Shaw, the bearded bard of Irtland, Hollywoods scenario writers are just a bunch of '"bellboys." lie plastered that lable on movie literati in a let ter to Samuel Goldwyn, film producer. Goldwyn, for the second time in ten years, has been trying to negotiate a deal with shaw to film some of the t-havian plays. lie has even dis cussed the idea of bringing Shaw to Hollywood to do the adaptations himself. "When I allow the film firms to try their hands, they turn the job over to the bellboys," Shaw wrote. "And when the bellboy wants a bit of extra dialog, he docs net dream of asking me to supply it. He just sticks a patch of his raciest Californian on my classical English without- per ceiving the difference. He (the scen ario writer) has no more notion of telling a story than a blind puppy of composing a smphony," the dra matist concluded. "I must admit that some of the .vriters deserve Mr. Shaw's remarks," Goldwyn commented, grinning. "In general, tho, I find that most famous authors are satisfied with the screen treatments given their literary efforts."

Irrigated Cora is Good for Seed, Agronomist Says Scores Reports in Circulation that are Alarming Farmers Cites Sources, Types of Seed Need printing! Oust call No. 6, and you'll find us on the Job. Branding as untrue the report that irrigated corn will not make good seed corn, P. H. Stewart, extension agronomist at the college of agricul ture at Lincoln, declared that such "wild tales" are alarming some Ne braska farmers. For the most part, he said, the type and variety of corn grown under irrigation in the east ern third of the state is not differ ent from that grown on dry land. "The fact that the corn has been irrigated this season would in no way reduce its value for seed," said Stew art. "Irrigation would amount to nothing more than growing the corn during a good season with plenty of rain. Application of water would in no way change the value of the crop for seed purposes." The college of agriculture is recommending that farmers having to buy seed corn, secure it from ir rigated fields of the same locality if possible. Such sources of seed will bo very valuable this season in meeting the seed corn emergency which is bound to face farmers next spring. "In some sections of the state, particularly farther west, the type of corn grown under irrigation is slight ly larger and later than that grown on dry land." Stewart explained. "In such cases seed from irrigated fields might be larger in stalk develop ment than normal upland corn. Farmers seeking further informa tion on the irrigated seed corn prob lem were advised that irrigated seed from western Nebraska and Colorado can be used satisfactorily as far east, on upland as about North Platte and Holdrege. There are occasional field.? of irrigated corn in western Nebras ka that are quite late in type. This year these later types are well ad vanced in maturity, and such lots of seed possibly could be used with good results on uplands of central Nebraska.
