TO THE FARM EItS.
Circular issued by the State Board Of
Worlds Fair MANAGERS.

C'rcuihr Issued by the state Board %,
Worlds Fair Managers.
The following circular just issued by
the State Board of Worlds Fair man
ayers will be read with interest. 1t is
addressed to the farmers of Montana and
is as follows:
In view of the fact that Montana will
be represented at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition in Chicago, beginning Nay
LIST, 1888. and closing October 31st, 1893.
and that much of the material to be used
in the agricultural display from this
State must be taken from the crops of
lo92. the farmers of Montana are now
urged to do their duty, and assist in ac-
comprising for this great
wealth her proper place among the won
dertul agricultural statee of this Union.
Montana is one Of the best agricultural
states in the Union. and it is the boun-
den buty of each farmer to do what he
can to make the agricultural exhibit
second TO no other state. To ensure that
the true standard of excellence may be
reached, great care will be necessary in
planting, nursing and harvesting the
crops from which your exhibits are Sc
cured. With this extra care on the part
OF a few farmers in each neighborhood
or district, grand results will be accom-
plished, and you, the farmer. reap a Just
reward for your labor.
Agriculture. with the march of immi-
grafton, has already reached well over
the State; and. with it, horticulture is
beginning to play a conspicuous part as
one OF our most promising industries.
The possibilities of fruit culture. while
thoroughly demonstrated by those inter
ested, are still scarcely understood by
the majority of the people of the State;
therefore. for this reason, if for no other.
it behooves all parties interested IN such
matters to lake advantage of the present
grand opportunity-the opportunity of a
li~fetime-and, by the educational char.
acter of the exhibits made, practically
convince the outside world that the soil
OF Montana in productiveness is equal, if
not superior, to the best the country
affords:
That this good work may go on with
out break or hindrance, to a seccessful
completion, and believing that o real
ize that agriculture is the basis of all
prosperity, the Board Of Worlds Fair
Managers of Montana earnestly trust
that, as farmers and patriotic citizens of
the great State of Montana you will not
permit this great industry, on an occas-
ION like this, through apathy or indiffer-
ence on your part, to be sighted, but
that you will cooperate with us in max
ing this exhibition a great and grand
success. The managers not only appeal
to you as individual farmers to aid in
this great work, but to all farmers Or
CARNATIONS throughout the State. With
the assistance you are capable of render
ing at our command. we can feel well
assured Montana will stand second to
no State in the Union at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, and establish an
enviable reputation at Chicago.
That errors may be avoided, and such
information and assistance rendered as
you may need this Board requests that
you make known to them, at the earl
lest possible moment. the special pro-
duct or products you propose to cul-
tivate for display, and at what time they
will be ready for shipment. If there is
anything you are not informed upon
this subject. don't hesitate to write to
us at once: your communications and
suggestions will be gladly received and
promptly considered. Very respectful
ly yours. w. M. BICFoRD, Executive
Commissioner, JAS. q. RAMSAY, Secre-
tary.
