The BREAD AND

FINE AGRICULTURAL SHOWING
AT ST. LOUIS.
Minnesota's Exhibit in the Palace of
Agriculture Is Notable for Its Beau
tiful and Practical Features-The
Horticultural Exhibit, Too, Is Strilx-
ing and Attractive.

Special to The Journal.
ST. Louis May 516.-That depart
ment of the exposition in which the
northern states are most conspicuous
for the value and merit Of their ex-
hibits is the section devoted to the
great agricultural interests. The Pal
ace of Agriculture is the largest Of
all the buildings, being 1000 feet long
area of over twenty acres-the largest
building ever constructed to house a
singh, class of exhibits. It contains
almost every known agricultural prod
uct and every imaginable appliance
for the farmers use. Beside the raw
products, there is to be a collective
exhibit showing the hundreds or ar
ticles made from them and in many
instances the process Of manufacture
actually carried on. For instance, in
addition to specimens of corn, one
may see it made into, many of its nu
merous biproducts, from meal, starch
and breakfast foods down to cob
pipes. And SO with many Of the other
staple products, such as wheat, cot
ton, tobacco and. cane.
In her exhibit, Minnesota has as
sumed her well-knoWn name, "The
Bread and Butter State" and, appro-
priately, grain and dairy products
form, the greater. part of her display.
The booth is in section so of the Agri-
cultural Palace; the entrance, facing
the south, is in the form of Roman
arch, about twenty feet high: made
of yellow corn; across the top in red
letters is the inscriptions:
