jamestown Exhibit.
John b. Ward. who has been selected as
manager of the Alabama exhibit at the
jamestown exposition, will get to work
at once. He will be in Montgomery this
week to confer with the Governor and
other members of the commission with
regard to the make up of the exhibit. Mr.
Ward was second in the race for commits
soner of agriculture and is one of the
best posted pen Of the state on farms
and farm products.
1t is expected that the Alabama exhibit
viii have more farm showings than has
ever been the case a enc of the big fairs
Heretofore most of the money for the
exhibits has been put up by private par
ties and from the industrial territory as
a rule, hence the industrial showing has
been best and most complete. However,
this time the state has done a good part
in the way of footing the bill and there
will be lots of the things that grow and
domestic ANIMALS presented
In the past ten years Middle and South
Alabama have grown many fine stock
including cattle and mules, and naturally
there has followed a development of the
feed products, so that at this time the
stock show can be made one of the best
from any southern state Mules, as fine
as are found in any country, are now
raised within fifty miles of Montgomery.
All this will be a big help in inducing
good immigrants to come to the state, a
thing much desired at this time
