IRRIGATION CONGRESS;
TO be HELD AT SACRAMENTO,
IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE
CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR.

From Irrigation Congress headquar-5
tiers at Sacramento, Cal, comes the
following announcement, which is OF
interest to North Dakota: "a
It is announced here by the officials
of the National Irrigation Congress
and of the California State fair, that
the dates of these two events have
been fixed to cover the first two weeks
Of September, and that an interstate
exposition Of irrigated lands, products
on a large scale will be held, com
mencing with the opening Of the irri-I
cation congress on Monday, Septem-
Der 2, and continuing until the close Of
the state fair, Saturday, September IA.
This will have the effect Of making
the California State fair an interstate
fair, SO far as agricultural products
are concerned, and it is altogether
probable that the live stock feature,
too, will be made to include all the
western states. "The California State
fair, Interstate Irrigated Lands Prod
ucts exposition and Western Stock
Show" is the name that has been sug-
gested for the big event, which will
eclipse any similar effort ever made
in this state, with the single exception
Of the Midwinter fair, held in San
Francisco several years ago.
Under the plan tentatively agreed
upon, the details of the Interstate ex-
position will be handled by the state
agricultural society. The board Of CON
troll of the irrigation congress will, Of
course, take an active interest In it.,
and will offer handsome prizes for in
terstate exhibitors, in addition to
those offered BY the state agricultural
society. a number Of cups and other
trophies well worthy Of Interstate COM
petition will be among the prizes Of
fered, and it is expected that competi-
ton for these will be open to all other
states, but not to California, as sec
ond set Of trophies and prizes viii be
offered for state fair exhibitors. In
the interstate exposition this state viii
act as host to visiting states and visit
ing exhibitors Of irrigated land prod
ucts, and will hang up prizes for which
her guests will compete. .@5 ...i
The proposed exposition has been
fully discussed between the members
OF the board Of control OF the irriga-
tion congress and Mr.. J. IA. Filcher.
secretary Of the state agricultural So
ciety, and the plans are practically de-
termined, subject to the approval of
the. directors Of the state agricultural
society at the next regular meeting, to
be held In this city February "a.
n Details for the big event are still to
be determined, but 1t Is probable that
the Interstate Dry Lands exposition
will open Monday, September b. and
that an effort will be made to have
the agricultural and horticultural ex-
hibits Of the California State fair in
place also by that time. The irriga-
ton congress will be scheduled to
meet on the Cd, but the proceedings Of
the session will probably be deferred
until Tuesday the Sd. Saturday, the
closing day Of the irrigation congress
and the opening day OF the state fair.
