Woodland restoration encourages diverse plants that help maintain the diversity of herbivores and insects. Don Farrar, a botany professor, is working with Mabry. These facts and more will be on display as the ISU College of Agriculture takes a look back and ahead during the 1999 Iowa State Fair. A collection of facts and photos about Iowa agriculture and Iowa State's contributions over the past century will be on display. There also will be activities for people of all ages at the exhibit.
Visitors can create their own farm scene using rubber stamps.
They can also test their knowledge of Iowa agriculture with a quiz. A computer will be set up for visitors to explore ISU with an interactive CD-ROM about the university. Adults can sign up for daily prize drawings. The fair runs Aug. 12-22. The College of Agriculture display is on the second floor of the Agriculture Building.
