THE AGRICULTURAL DISPLAY.
Wyoming's Proposed showing at the
Worlds FAIR.

Elwood Mead, secretary of the WYom
ing worlds fair commission, has received
a letter containing valuable suggestions
from w. G. Buchanan, chief of the
agricultural department. 1t is the desire
of the director general to have the cereals
and farm products enclosed in as compact
a group as Is possible and CONSTANT with
classification. In order to make a
thorough exhibit Chief Buchanan suggests
that the board Of each state be thoroughly
advised OF the probable extent Of its state
exhibit and supervise the getting together
and shipping of the exhibit. In order to
accomplish this, applicants for space, it is
suggested should be referred to the state
commission and the exhibits should be
shipped to the state commission instead
of direct to Chicago. This would place
the exhibit of each state within the
knowledge OF its commission which would
work to advantage. In closing Mr..
Buchanan says: Il shall be glad to have
you write me fully in connection with the
