FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggest Department of the Great EXPOSE
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 ostensfbly
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 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 flied 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 Elk
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. an 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
display vast enough and instructive

spread out before bis eyes, the Worlds
Fair visitor IL impressed with the inn
portant part the farmer plays In the
great world of industry. and every
farmer who views these interesting ex-
hibtts Is given a new pride In bis vo-
cation If flied 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 win 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 insectsal
these and many more things of vital
interest to farmers and fruit growers
ere taught at the Worlds Fair.

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China's
Show at the Worlds Fair---The Most
POpuEOus Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.

Many expOSitions of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair of
1904 Each part is q vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres Of wonderful things wonderful
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most Of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here prominence
quite exceptional 1t is a wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports Of teas, which have found
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make a dis
play OF teas that we should not for

lected chops" in the language of the
tea farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400.
The,teas exhibited vary In price from
a few cents pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight In gold, the tea IN the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that rs TO say, the tea Of this expensive
kind IS worth about $50 gold an ounce
Only very small quantity of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited, and it is

tons or gardens right under the shad-
ows Of the great wall of China. It's cul-
tivatfon Is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family of China and,

"chop" In connection with tea, and it

reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on

growth or picking Of tea by one owner.
In an area of tea land Of, say, thou
sands acres, all apparently under one
ownership, there may be some forty,
fifty or more owners OF the plantation
and consequently a like number Of
''chops" OF tea.
1t must not be imagined that ali these
different owners Of the tea get the
same price for their commodity
from it, as each of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for Inn
proving the quality and flavor of tea.
Take, for instance, the Annoy and Flu
chau districts, whence most OF the tea
for the United States comes. The own
ers Of ''chops" of tea varying from 10
to 200 chests of Sc pounds each bring
samples of their goods to the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over
to the good Offices of the foreign or
American professional tea faster, who
passes on the goods as to price. The
tea faster has the samples infused, not
boiled, in his presence and passes upon
the quality, flavor, twang and manner
of curing, fixing price accordingly,
from which there is never any varia-
ton and which the tea grower must &c
cept or go elsewhere to dispose Of his
wares. In a single tract Of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from il cents, the lowest, to
1914 cents, the highest, per pound
among sixty-one different tea produ-
GERS. A matter of great moment that
also figures in the price of tea is
that very often tea from the same dis
trict will have the various chops"
blended together in order to produce
Pecial favors.
