Farm Program Is Television Success 4 Production Beamed <£’~'xs- * i From Illinois Farm ' CLOVERDALE. 111.. (INS) — ■ Children, animals and the weather I —three of life’s most unpredict- ■ able elements — have combined i to make “Out on the Farm” one ■ of television’s , moat hectic, and i enjoyable programs. i "Out on the Farm.” an NBC-TV i. production beamed from the Wili bert Landmeier farm outside Clov- • erdale. 111., probably has broken i every rule in the television "book" ' to,put on its intelligent and “difi ferent” show each Sunday afternoon. For instance: _ The "cast,” with, the exception of master -of - farm ceremonies Clint Youle, is entirely amateur. The "actors" are Mr. and Mrs. Landmeier and children — Joyce, 14, Janet, 12. Judy, 11, and Jimmy I ** Everything Real , Farm animals, who don't know a sponsor from a station break, t-avort through the show with unexpected results. So far, however, engineers have not had to cut off the image. - The show- is literally shot “out on the farm” in the Landmeier's corn fields, dairy barns, orchards and barnyard with wind, rain and sun always a factor. But — despite the unpredictable —each week a 36-in inute show that aims at giving city-bound TV viewers an “authentic” picture of life on a typical midwestern farm is put together. And put together well, too. according to the "Out on the Farm" viewer rating. Typical shows have portrayed 4-H Club activities, harvesting, dairy operations, “bedding down” for the winter and chicken raising. The Landnieiers were selected as the "typical farm family” by the University of Illinois after NBC producer Ben Park asked the University’s agricultural school to pick out an outstanding farm family. . When it is television day on the Landmeier farm, four crews of cameramen and a mobile unit control studio, plus soundmen, script girls, and technical assistants swarm over the place.

In the Landmeier’s orchard is ■ n 75-foot high steel tower which transmits the picture by microwave to Chicago 30 miles away. Part of the landmeier's white frame house has been re-arranged to install cameras, sound booms and big lights. Stars of the show are the Landmeiers themselves. Father Wilbert shows the viewer around the farm, explaining the technical side of farming. Mother Bertha presides over the kitchen, mixing recipes and baking pies and other specialties. On one recent show she men-' tioned an old family recipe briefly I and the network was swamped with more than 44,000 requests for ' copies of it. The Landmeier children figure' prominently in most of the show as well. Joyce is obviously excited j by the chance to perform on television' but vows she’ll "marry a farm boy and be a fahner’s wife anyway.” She added: “It’s certainly fun and I don't! even mind the kidding I get at ‘ school. "You know, the kids will say they saw me on TV and say they ■ thought my face would break the ' picture tube and things like that.” j landmeier also takes “television 1 day" in stride. He said: “I get up same time as usual i —5:30 in the'morning. “But I’ll say this, if it wasn’t for the hired hand, the corn would never get in the silo until too late.” 4 , But the real "work horse” on “Out on the Farm” is Mrs. Landmeier. Bertha, as she is called affectionately by all of the TV people, takes part in the show and then feeds the entire production I staff — some 40 hungry men and women. Brave Research SAN FRANCISCO, (INS) — One of man’s best hopes for a I better future on earth is in “brave ■ new research” to find new sources ’ of energy, according to Monroe > E. Spaght, executive vice presi- • dent of Shell Oil Company. Speak- - ing before the Stanford Research Institute in San Francisco, he » urged an audience of western f business men to large- i - scale studies that will Improve the I t efficiency with which present eni ergy sources are used and devel-' op new sources for the future.
