Educational film productions of the United States Department of Agriculture will be used to promote Americanization of immigrants. Arrangements have been completed between the office of Motion Pictures, of the United States Department of Agriculture and Will H. Hays, President of the Motion Pictures Producers and Distributors of America whereby the Government films will be shown to immigrants arriving at American ports as a part of the Americanization service recently inaugurated by the film producer’s organization.

The film program consists of pictures of historical, geographical and natural classification, including many leading feature productions of the industry. The four United States Department of Agriculture educationals selected are expected to assist in orientating the new Americans by acquainting them with the agricultural resources of the Nation and with American farming methods.
