II is expected that this exposition will

of the demand that our exhibits will
produce for American.gf gfavn products
With this idea In view eVerS thing POS
sihle has been done to show the ex-
eelleuee of American Wheat,# corn. rye
aud other cereal products. while equal
attention has been given to display
ing the best of our apples, pears aud
other fruits. Ii is believed that the
| Paris exposition presents splendid
opportunity To make all Europe we'll
acquainted with the possibilities of
this country as a grain and fruit pro-
ducer. The agricultural department
has gone into the present exhibition
with the sole idea of helping the farm

/ lieved that as a result Of this rNhi-
hition large foreign demand will
be created for many Of our goods
