How was this amount expended? To
! begin with, we call attention to the
magnitude of Missouri's agricultural
exhibit, covering as It does, floor

II Is the largest and best exhibit of

agricultural products from every one
OF the II counties in the state.
Located near the center of the agri

of Missouri products. Pictures of ag.
ricultural scenes form a frieZe around
! the interior OF this facade. These pic.
lures, astonishingly lfe.like. are ar.
tIstically made of products Of the farm.
without the aid OF artificial Coloring,
and they tell the story of Mlssouri's
agricultural progress from the earliest
pioneer days until the present day.
