exhibit is installed is palntad pale
blue with an ornamental frieze run
ing lis entire length made Of corn,
kaflir corn and other ceroals. Mr..
Crumb,ugh is u glib tallor when
Missouri and her resources arc his
themo. lie says: missouri took
tho honors at Omaha and Chicago in
the Agricultural Building for the
best and most varied exhibit Of agri-
cultural products. The advantage
she has over all the other States in
tho Union is that Of location. In
1900 she raised forty thousand bales
of cotton. In the southern portion
OF the State we have complete line
of tobaccos and all varieties of wool
OF this years shearings, twerty- four
varieties OF wheat and ninoteon va
rleties Of oats besides all grades of
cotton. Besides the agricultural
products, we have on exhibit here
twenty oight ditferent brands Of
-four" In tho middle OF the pavilion
is an old fashioned corn crib mado of
wire surmounted by an car of corn
| that Baron Munchausen cou.d not
mako Il credulous public believe ever
grew on any corn stalk. It is twenty
seven inches long and four and n
half inches in diameter Over the
private entrance Of Mr.. Crumbaugh
ls large coat arms Of the State Of
Missouri, with tho motto Salus Po-
pull Supreme Lex Esto conspicuous
ly displayed in large letters on yell
low back ground. But it wouldn't
be safe for emigrants to go down to
the State expecting to raise ears of
corn the size of the ono MIR. Crum-
baugh exhibits on top of his corn
crib made with corn kernels and wire.
Next to that of tho State of New
York the largest agricultural exhibit
that comes from any State in the
Union is that Of Louisiana. Hero,
too, there are some mammoth objects
exhibited for the delectation of our
northern brethren. Mr.. Glenk of
New Orleans, the Superintendent of
the pavilion, has resorted to clever
ruso to make the visitors to the Pan
American Exposition believe that
cotton troes grow in the Pelican
State. In conspicuous place in
his exhibit he has what he labels a
"cotton stalk" The background is
a dark green against which are dis
played arches and clusters of palms.
The pictures, many of which arc very
attractive, are hung against these
clusters producing an effect at once
artistic and pleasing. On thirty five
tables are displayed in various at
tractivo groups the Immense resources
of the Pelican State. Jerusalom
corn, pearl miilet, sugar sorghums,
ETC., are among the forage plants.
Rice, miniature bales Of twenty-five
different varieties Of hay, including
the valuable alfalfa and thirty. ono
varieties Of peas are displayed.
There is large exhibit of Spanish
moss which is dried and sold as veg
table hair Big Ben, the sweet pota-
to weighing 1872 pounds commenced
to sprout three weoks ago and the
vine has climbed over the top of tho
case which contains thirty five vare-
ties of sweet potatoes "Big Ben"
is keeping up with his reputation and
it looks as if he will climb out Of the
window before t." arrival of Louisi-
ana Day. Blocks of sulphur foot
square are piled on ono of the tables.
Mr. Glenk says: "Sulpbur of 09 per
cont. purity Is found throughout the
Southern part of the State. It is
mined by driving twelve inch wells
to the deposit Of sulphur and insert
ing ask inch inner tube. The super
heated steam is sent down the out
