FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggest Department of the Great ExpOsi-
ton Ready For the Inspection of the
Army of Men Who Made Its
Creation Possible.

Now that crops have been or are be-
ing laid by, the farmer prepares for his
trip to the Worlds Fair, a treat that
has long been promised him and for
which he has patiently waited. No ex-
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence as this
one at st. Louis, nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmers months at the Exposition,
for it is at this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state in the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section Of
the great Agriculture Palace, but for
their special convenience there has just
been completed a Grange House, stu
ated in the south end of the building.
1t is equipped with a reception room,
ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms,
where parcels may be left free of
charge. Here will be kept a list of
moderate priced rooms TO aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building on the grounds
is the Palace of Agriculture, covering
twenty acres, while the Palace of Hor-
ticulture near by covers about third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filed with exhibits of
the farm, garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
every state in the Union and most Of
the principal countries of the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department Ct the Elk
position, the paramount Importance OF
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
of the Worlds Fdir movement.
About seventy acres of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horh-
culture department ut the Fair, large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, an instructive
six acre farm maintained hz- the Unit

itors for many days. Nothing to com

FORE They are the climax Of several
decades Of educational work which is
placing farming on a high plane and
Is making scientific agriculture pleas
ing reality.
The conspicuous role played by agri-
culture at the Worlds Fair should
bring untold benefits and wealth to
the farming community Of the world
and impress all farmers with the i'm
portance and dignity of their calling.
Passing through these colossal build
ings, studying the attractive exhibits
and fascinated with the bewildering
encyclopedia Of rural life which is
spread out before his eyes, the Worlds
Fair visitor is impressed with~the i'm
portant part the farmer plays in the
great world Of industry, and every
farmer who views these interesting ex-
hibits is given a new pride in his vo-
cation if filed with inspiration and i'm
pressed with new ideas in harmony
with the progressive strides that farm
ing has been making for the past few
years. The visit will give an insight
into up to date farming on the most
approved plan and will bring new
hopes and blessings to the farm.
How properly to rotate crops, how to
get the best results from fertilizing and
irrigation. how to protect crops and
fruit from the ravages Of insects-an
these and many more things of vital
interest to farmers and fruit growers
are taught at the Worlds Fair.

SEARCH FOR BODIES.
Loss OF Lives Estimated At From 7OO
To 1000.

New York, June 1s.-With unceas'
ing effort, search is going on for the
bodies of those who persisted on the
General Slocum What the list Of vic
tins will total scarcely any one dares
venture guess, but whatever the
number may be there is hardly a
parallel in the history of disasters
where death came to so many in SO
brief a time.
Police and health department officers
have placed the number at figure as
high as 1000 and more, but it would
seem that the maximum fatality vii
not largely exceed 700.
All day long, from sunrise until
darkness shut off even the melancholy
satisfaction of watching for the dead,
anxious searchers kept up their vigil
lance, and at dusk there had been
recovered $40 bodies, for the greater
part women and children.
During the day 400 bodies had passed
through the morgue, and OF these
more than 300 were identified.
Perhaps the most remarkable case in
the many appalling experiences OF
those who were on the Slocum was
that of Miss Clara Hartman, who was
picked up for dead, towed behind a
boat for several miles, wrapped in
tarpaulin and tagged as dead, and
then recovered consciousness. 1t is
now believed she will recover.

The Russians followed and opened
heavy fire, directed about the water

was terrific and in few minutes the
decks were covered with corpses and
wash with blood, one shell which
struck the engine room, killing two
hundred men. Captain Campbell, the
English master of the transport,
