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 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 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 filled 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 Ex-
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 TINS
industry. outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, an instructive
six acre farm maintained by the INIT
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 Ear

Orleans County Fair at Barton
Vermont.

The Orleans County Fair Association
will hold its fifteenth annual fair at
Roaring Brook Park, Barton, VT, on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, September 60, 1904. The asso-
citation is offering $4,000 in purses,
premiums and attractions. There is
every indication that there will be a
large number of entries for the races
which should be fully up to the usual
standard. Several new classes have been
added in the stock department and
this should be better than usual, They
have secured very good variety of
vaudeville attractions which will furnish
entertainment for young and old There
will be game of baseball each of the
three last days. On the second and
third days Barton and Woodsville will
cross bats and on the fourth day the
winning team will play the Island Pond
nine. These are all strong teams and
the spectators will see some exciting
games. Each game will be for purse
of 500, to be divided o-thirds to the
winner and one-third to the loser. The
Barton cornet band will disperse excel
lent music. Nearly six hurdred extra
reserve seats have been provided making
eight hundred in all. These new seats
were taken from the opera hall at St.
Johnsbury and no better seat can be
found in any grand stand. There will
be special train from Wells River each
of the three last days, leaving there at
s o'clock in the morning. Admission
to grounds, twenty-five cents; children
under twelve years, 10 cents; teams,
twenty-five cents.

THE FINAL WORD
ct Democratic State Committees
to Good Citizenship.
TRUTH ABOUT STATE EXPENSES
Warning Against Republican Attempt
to Fool the People, So Late as to
Be Safe from Exposure Some
SAMPLE Items,

1t was announced a fortnight ago
that the Republican State Committee
would attempt an answer to the ex-
posure made in these columns of the
enormous, unjustifiable and unparal-
lelled growth of state expenses in
the past 20 years of great Republican
majorities.
Knowing that no such answer can
be made, without Justification, that
will in any considerable degree justi-
fly or excuse this growth we. have
watched carefully for the promised
appearance in order to meet ii with
the truth from the official figures. 1t
is now evident that if made at all, II
Is to be made in the last issue before
election of this paper, so as to be be-
yond reach of reply. Such action of
itself ought to be seen by every intel
ligent citizen to be CONF ESSION
OF GUILT.
We purposely made our first arti-
Gle in this talk with the people that
about state expenses so as to afford
the other side plenty of time to reply
II II dared, because we knew the more
the matter was discussed and anal
yzed the more complete and decisive
would be the verdict against Repub-
lican misrule.
Articles have appeared in one or
two state papers, for which perhaps
the state committee may not be re-
sposible, which are. nevertheless,
samples of what may be expected in
defense. They assert that the state
highway and school taxes, to the
amout of s235.526.O1 are included in
the $738,368.95 of state expenses in
1908. Whoever is responsible for
this statement, could hardly have
failed to know, as even the Free
Press admits, that these taxes
merely pass through the state treas
ury and do not enter into state ex-
penses at ALL" They are included in
the $1,601, ,307.29 which Treasurer
Bacon reports to have passed through
his hands during the year. His ac-
count is perfectly plain and business
like, showing auditors orders, classi-
fed according to law to have been
drawn for state expenses $S21,001.64

large areas Of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
is hardly ever the case, as the large
tracts are very often owned by hun
dreds of different men, whose individ-
ual plots Of ground bearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out, so
that each individual owner may cult
vate and pick his own crop Of tea.
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
CHOP on the packages. Hence the
term "chop" signifies an individual
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 like number OF
"chops" of tea.
1t must not be imagined that all these
different owners of the tea get the
same price for their commodity-far
from it, as each Of these individual. tea
growers has his own secrets for I'm
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 So 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 .yaria-
tion and which the tea grower must ac-
cept or go elsewhere to dispose of his
wares. In single tract of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from IA cents, the lowest, to
4S1a 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
special favors.

Many expositions of stupendous char
lcter make up the Worlds Fair of
1904. Each part is 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 u wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found a
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her TO make u dis
play of teas that we should not for
get
In sealed glass Jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 100
kinds of tea. Young Hyson and Old
Hyson have a string of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of Il
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
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 a 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 is 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 1t is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
tions or gardens right under the shad-
ows of the great wall of China. Its cul-
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family Of China and
few of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made of the word
"chop" in connection with tea, and It
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown In va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on
