ence'' with the governor, the compaH-
4 son is unfortunate and alike insulting
| to the memory Of a man with a genius
for practical politics and to the chle1s
of the republican party. The Repuo-

/ for the exhibition of his products, and
| he deserves 1t. The wealth Of the
United States in agricultural products
runs into figures far above the hun
dreds of millions-figures easily stated
and looking very large In print, but
not conveying, to the public the Won
derful value as that seventy acres at
