of the exposition are arranging for
adequate exhibits of fruits, cereals,
vegetables and other products or irrl-
gated land forestry products in the
several departments Of the exposition.
Inquiries are pouring in at headquar-
tiers from many states for informa-

in that direction, is a foregone con-
clusion. The keen interest shown by
those most vitality concerned leaves no
doubt upon the subject.

and facilities for a state display in the

sition and no stone is being left un-
| turned to have the wishes OF that
body carried out to the letter.
Messrs. Thomas Judd and ]. Edward

Utah state board of horticulture, were
in Sacramento last week to arrange
matters in this connection. They look
ed over the ground thoroughly, and
completed preliminary work for the
| state display before returning to Salt
Lake.
