THE NEVADA EXHIBIT.

nevada mas never been considered
an agricultural State and many there
are who even believe the soil incap-
able of producing anything; but when
they enter the Nevada pavilion and
sec what Nevada soil aid Nevada
climate really does produce, it is a
revelation to them. Even then many
doubt that Nevada has produced all
that is shown there. Here were ex-
hibited the first figs of '93, week
before California could produce her
earliest, and California claims every-
thing in the fruit line. Mr., Yering,
ton says that visitors are constantly
asking him how he bleached his
sheaves of oats and wheat to make
them look so white and silvery, and
how he dyed the alfalfa to make it
keep so green. He can hardly make
them believe that it is only Nevada's
soil ana climate that makes them so,
The Nevada pavilion occupies por-
ton of the space Idaho would have
had, had not her exhibi. been con
sumed by fire while in transit. The
floor is 26x24 feet and is surrounded
by wooden archways about IL feet
high and railing ABOUT feet high,
around the outer edge of the floor.
Thr entrances to the pavilion are
from the north and over each en-
trance is the seal of the State.
The side arches are very prettily
draped with orange colored Japanese
silk, and bunting of the same color
while the wood work is every where
ornamented with rows and punches
of wheat and alfalfa, oats sagebrush
and other Nevada products. In the
center of the pavilion liz g long pyra-
mid and this is covered VIII the eI-
hibits of the different rieties Of !
grain in little woods boxes with |
glass tops, or III glass Bottles; also |
potatoes, fruits and vegetables. Sur
mounting the pyramid is large |
sheaf of oats which is the most strik- |
ing thing of the kind in the entire |
building. This sheaf is the drawing |
card of the Nevada display for nearly |
every one that goes by the aisle that |
leads from the exhibits of Great |
Britain to that of Nevada and Utah,
sees this beautiful sheaf. They 60
down to get better look at it and |
see what else there is to be seen
there. Around the side of the pa
vilion are little tables and on these
are shown fruits and vegetables.
There are also small bales of alfalfa,
timothy and wild hay and to the sur
prise even of Nevada people, bale
of cotton. Mr.. Yerington's head
quarters are in this pavilion. He
has arranged it so that he can enter
tain his Nevada friends there when
they visit the exposition. 1t must be
also that much of this ex-
hibit is from the agricultural expert
mont station and the eight panels on
which are placed many varieties of
grain and other products of the sta
ton, calls forth much favorable COM
ment. Professor Mcdowell is deserv-
ing of no small share of the credit of
this showing
In the arranging of this and also
the other exhibits, Mr.. Yerington
has been ably assisted by Mr.. Will
lam Shirley of Dayton. AS the sea
son advances Mr.. Yerington is
lesirous that the different agricultural
products of the State be sent him.
he wishes quality and not quantity
nd it is to be hoped that the people
# Nevada will lend him all the aid
hey possibly can to make the exhibit
IS great a success as possible.
The appro oristion by the State was :
