FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggest Department of the Great Exp0si-
ton Ready For the Inspection OF the
Army of Men Who Made lis
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 Aofrered 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 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 CT
charge. Here will be kept list Of
moderate priced rooms 10 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 a 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 at the En-
position, the paramount Importance Of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
of the Worlds Fair movement.
About seventy acres Of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horti-
culture department at the Fair, large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers. IN instructive
six acre farm maintained by the Unit
ed States Government Plant Industry,
and gardens in all parts Of the grounds.
There are more exhibits in the Agri-
culture building than in any other sec
ton Of the Exposition. This building
is considered by many people the most
interesting part of the Worlds Fair.
The exhibits in the palaces of Agri-
culture and Horticulture constitute a
display vast enough and instructive

enough to occupy the attention Of Wis
itors for many days. Nothing to COM
pare with them was ever attempted be-
fore. They are the climax of several
decades of educational work which is
placing farming on 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
portaEt part the farmer plays in the
great world Of industry, and every
farmer who views these interesting eX-
Libits is given 4 new pride in his vc-
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-all
these and many more things Of vital
interest to farmers and fruit growers
nre taught at the Worlds Fair.
