Uncle Jerry" Rusk is happy over the
great big exhibit his department is going
| TO make at the Worlds Fair, an exhibit
| which will for the first time present to the
world comprehensive idea of the greatest
| single American industry agriculture, in
| cluding stock and cattle raising. He de-
| votes much of his time overlooking the
| preparations for this exhibit which are
now we'll under way. Only two other bu-
| reaus of the 2overnment-the Smithsonian
! Institution and the Fish Commission-wil i'll
| have $50 900. which IS the amount at the
disposal of the Agricultural Department,
allowed them for the expense Of their ex-
hbits. Secretary Rusk thinks the exhibit
of his department will have an educational
value not to be computed in dollars and
cents to the American farmers who Il
attend the Worlds Fair, and that the con-
plete method of government inspect ton of
meats for export, which will be shown.

OF American meat abroad, because of the
reports Of 1t which foreign visitors will
carry back home with them The entire
exhibit will be so arranged that the pro-
ducts Of every state and territory of the
Union will confront the visitor; besides,
the various bugs, pests and diseases with
which farmers have to contend will be
shown, and the best way Of getting rid of
them will also be shown.

the amount of available cash on hand
since the first Of September. Wonder il
there Is single Democrat who would OBJ
ject to personally going through that sor,
of bankruptcy! The Democratic calamity
walters now SO numerous on the stumI

about this little matter: they are not owe
