A GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITY
What May Come of Making a
Creditable Display at
WerId'S Fair

Frederick w. Taylor, chief of the
department of agriculture and horti-
culture at the st. Louis exposition,
was in Reno yesterday, and addressed
a large audience there on the subject
Of the great fair. endeavoring to i'm
press upon mis- hearers the benefits to
be gained for the state by a creditable
display, particularly of products. other
than of our mines. From his address
given in the Journal, we take the fol-
lowing:
Il came here because no official of
the ST Louis exposition has yet WIS.,
tied this state. / represent other de-
partments of the exhibit. but my chief
attention is directed toward horticul-
ture and agriculture. 1t is our desire
to make a great success of these de-
partments and to especially give the
arid states every chance, so that per-
sons who are interested in the soil
possibilities of those states where the
rainfall is light can see almost at d
glance what can be accomplished there
with and without irrigation. One por-
tion of the great building will be de-
voted to this and / hope that Nevada
will take full advantage of what is
offered it.
THE CHER products of Nevada up to
this time have been from the mines
and while enormous wealth has been
produced it has hardly resulted in
home building. But the products oi
the soil will bring in those who will
make their homes here and rear fam
lilies who will continue to claim Ne
vada as a place of residence for gen.
erations.
mo conception of Nevada's wealth
and possibilities can be gained by
riding through the state on a train
There are two methods by which out
siders may be impressed with Ne
vadas beauty and productiveness. One
is by stopping off and visiting The
valleys and canyons where nature has
scattered it's richest benisons. The
other method is to take the cream
of the productions of the state and at
tractively prepare them and place
them on exhibition where they can bt
viewed by people from all over the
United States and the world. These
exhibits can be sent to the Nevadi
commission, who will see that they
are attractively displayed
THE people of the east do not com
prehend Nevada's resources because
the exhibits made at expositions from
this state has in the past been prin
cipally mineral The splendid worl
OF the department of the interior IL
undertaking the system of storage o
flood waters and diverting them t.
lands where now nothing is produced
should encourage the people of Ne
vada to show the world that the gov
ernment is not throwing away it
money.
81 think Nevada is very fortunate
in that the eastern dairyman, farme
and fruit grower will find conditions
here similar to what they are accus
toned to and will find 1t easy to adap
themselves to conditions In this state
Another great advantage to b'
gained by liberal display at thu
ST. Louis exposition will be the les
son that the exhibit will afford Ne
vadans themselves. l learn that ther'
are many people from this state whit
contemplate going to st. Louis mex
season. A liberal display of Nevad;
products will make your people prouj
to describe the exhibit and dilate upor
the possibility of the state to visitors
1t will increase their loyalty hom
and will show them something tina
