uuire the assistance of at least three
young men who may desire to learn
the process OF curing by fermentation
Sumatra and other types of tobacco.
1t has been arranged that these young
men may come from any Agricultural
College or Experiment Station which
may need the services of person so
trained, and which will bear the neces-
sary expenses of such person while
acquiring practical education in the
curing of tobacco by the fermentation
process, and which is otherwise en-
tirely free.
(5) The next section will be most
instructive, as it will be devoted large.
ly to the statistics of the crop in the
several States. The simplest and
most effective means for illustrating
statistics by means Of physical objects
arc to be employed in presenting all
the phases Of tue crop obtainable.
The main floor will be devoted to the
presentation Of typical sales-ware-
house floor, with its piles of tobacco,
hogsheads, baskets, trucks, etc, while
around the walls will be shown the
graded leaf samples from all Of the
States, together with the value, name
of the grower and such other Informs
tion as may he pertinent to the exhibit.
The tobacco from each State will be
grouped together under the name of
the State, and the labels will also serve
as an index to other exhibits from
that State in the Palace of Agricul-
ture. Here will be seen the leaf from
all over the country and it gives prom
ise of being most exhaustive in its
character.
(6.) The next section takes Us into
the realms of manufa curing, and
shows the machinery Of every descrip.
tion used in Transforming the weed
into its commoner merchantable form.
The presses, cutters, grinders, granu-
lators and cigarette machines all find
places outside the great pagoda, and
it is expected that many OF these, the
most interesting ones, will be in
motion.
a. On the interior of this pagoda,
which is forty feet in diameter, will be
shown the manufactured form of to-
bacco, pipes, etc. The pagoda is to
crown the exhibit and will be con-
structed wholly of tobacco, reaching q
height of 60 feet from the floor. 1t
will be artistic and elaborate in design,
illustra' ing the wide range in color OF
the cured weed and will also serve as
q marker for the exhibit, being dis
cernible from every part of the vast
structure.
(S.) Beyond this is arranged space
where States desiring to do so may
make additional displays OF distinctive
features not fully comprehended in the
general plan above detailed. Though
it is believed that but little Of such ad
ditional work will be necessary as the
scope and proportions, of the general
exhibit is intended to include all. that
is valuable to show.
(9) Adjoining the abovea number
of small exhibit spaces have been re-
served for cigar manufacturers and
others who may wish to take advan-
tage of this opportunity for advertis-
ing special brands by installing indi-
vidual overflow exhibits Of cigars, Gig
arettes, chewing. smoking and other
tobaccos, pipes and smokers acces-
sories.
Q0) The last section will be de-
voted to cigar making. Workers in
both domestic and Havana tobacco
will produce the fragrant cigar under
the gaze of the visitor, and arrange
ments will be made with the officers
of the Internal Revenue of the United
States to permit, under proper OBJ
servance of the revenue laws, the sale
from the space Of cigars and cigarettes
so manufactured.
How many people know that white
goods, such as linen, muslins, silks,
&C., should never be put away in
brown paper? In some mysteri-
Gus way the white materials absorb
the tint of the paper and lose several
shades of the pure color, and some
time spots appear, which are quite
indelible. All danger may be avoid
ed if the articles are wrapped in white
tissue paper Of good quality be-
fore the brown is used. Blue paper
is better than brown, however.
