We would again urge upon you
the importance Of selecting for eX-
hibit at Chicago the best specimens
Of your grains and grass S, fruits

crops with a view of display at the
Worlds Fair, care should be taken
to produce the best in.every lin -,
not to the greatest quantity, but the
largest and best in quality. Our
success in the display of Arkansas
products will depend largely upon
the cooperation and assistance OF
our farmers during the next three
or four months, and we desire to
have their hearty support in our
work. Farmers who desire to send
specimens Of their best products,
should communicate with G. w.

distance all competitions and keep
Arkansas still in the lead. In maxi
ing this display the farmers will
bear in mind the fact that they will
not be called on to bear any Of the
expense Of shipping. All they
are asked to do is to furnish the
exhibits. The Worlds Fair diree-
tory will pay all freight and exe
press charges. Farmers and fruit
men are requested TO observe The
following suggestions of the cons
