AN ASTONISHING EXHIBIT.
Governments Display OF Cereals, Grasses and
Luguminous Plants at the Exposition.
News and Courier, May 81

News and Courier, May g..
There is a sin gle exhibit at the
exposition that would be worth hun
dreds of millions of dollars to the
State every year, if only the farmers
of every county, or the leading men
among them, could be brought to ex-
anime it for few hours and learn
the surprising and immensely valua-
BILE lesson it teaches. We do not
think its value can easily be over
stated, if the great possibilities it
shows forth are fully considered.
The difficulty is to give an adequate
idea of what it is, and what it shows,
to those who have not seen it. 1t
will certainly give to any intelligent
farmer, or land owner who is not a
farmer, information and suggestions
that will be worth large money to
him, if he will use the knowledge it
affords so freely and 81 convincingly.
1t will pay any farmer in the State
many times the expense Of a visit to
the exposition to see it, even if he
were to 60 back home without look
ing at another exhibit.
1t is the exhibit by the United
States Agricultural Department of
native and foreign cereals and grasses
and leguminous plants growing in
the soil and climate of this section.
AS the exhibit is made on average
sandy land of the low country, it is,
of course, of especial interest to low
country people. No farmer of the
low-country should miss it accord
ingly, and no one will miss it if we
can happily give him all idea of what
it is, and if he regards his own life
long interest.
We can do little more here than
indicate its general character and
scope, as several of the crops shown,
taken singly, would each afford ma
terial for long descriptive article.
What follows is merely body of
notes, taken off-hand while passing
through the exhibit, and conveying
such information regarding it as can
be given in single article covering
the whole display.
The exhibit comprises about two
acres of the exposition grounds, and
is divided into small plats or sections,
each as large as an average garden
bed. All have been planted since
last fall and throughout the winter,
until now. The ground was former
ly planted in strawberries-and it is
particularly to be noted that no ferti-
lizer whatsoever has been applied to
it for the crops now on it that the
seasons have "not been favorable" to
the crops on it; and not drop of
water has been applied to it artifi-
cially. The exhibit is in charge of
Mr.. J. j. Bean, who has ha6 forty
