forests shOuld occupy prominent place
on that occasion. Is it is second to no 9th
CT rural industry. and that from the near
approach of that Exhibition Immediate
action Is necessary, The care of dairy
products at the Exhibition has been en-
trusted. bv the Association we represent,
To Us ~ its Committee, and in cunse-
qIence We haYe completed arrangements
with the Centennial Commission. for am
pie space in the Agricultural Hall for that
class of products, and we now ask the
daIrymrn and women, and the dairy as>O
citations in every State and Territory in
the Union to make and forward the hest

tally desired that butter and cheese in

the character of the prizes it is the inten-
ton Of the commission to award in the

those OF each county, in the same manner
