The National Corn exposition opens this
morning at o'clock, after many busy
weeks OF preparation. Twenty-Five states
and the federal government are represented
in the exhibits Of the big show. The Audi
torium and large temporary structures
erected adjoining are filled with the dis
plays of King Corn and other products Of
the -lclds.
Education is the central idea OF the ex-
position. It Is a place to see and learn.
But little space is occupied for the ex-
ploitation of private interests and the few
exhibits that might be SO classified have
their educational and instructive value.
Sunday night found the workers in the
exposition stlll busily hanmerng away and
installing decorations and exhibits. The
chaos Of the last week viii be resolved
into order by this morning, when the
visitors see the show for the first time
Bad weather has caused a trifle Of delay
| in the completion OF the outside decora-.
tions at the entrance to the exposition, but
| It VIII shortly be complete in its resplend-
ercy Of yellow corn on a field OF rich
mussy green.
Within the attractive decorations formed
| BY the clever arrangement of products Of
( the field have been enhanced by graceful
| festoons and panels OF gAily colored bunt-
ing. The auditorium above, formed by the
construction OF a temporary floor at the
level Of the balcony is hung with many
colorcd flags, token OF the international
character which the exposition Is fast
assuming
EEverett Buckingham, general manag IT
Of the Union Stock Yards company Of
South Omaha, one of the boosters Of the
Corn show, strode about the Auditorium
on a tour Of investigation and survey.
Fine. Very good indeed" was his
decision when he paused at the end Of the
main floor to take a general view Of the
display. I'm a day or two more all the
finishing touches will be completed and
this will be the best ever"
Lighting is Notable Feature.
The lighting Of the exposition has been
skilfully handled A complete illumination
and thorough distribution OF the radiance
Of thousands OF incapdescents has been
accomplished without making any glare
spots"
particularly artful bit OF work is in
the decoration Of the pillars which support
the temporary floor above. Casing Of plate
\ glass lined with grain laid in carefully
arranged stratas OF contrasting colors con-
ceal the true character OF the supports
and add to the beauty OF the show
The entries OF the show include enough
corn 20 reach for three miles II stretched
out and in samples OF one peck each there
is more than ! 900 bushels OF threshed grain.
OF cornstalks and sheaves OF grain there
Is ample to stock very presentable field.
Among the exhibits there will be shown
miniature fields OF growing grains with
daily demonstrations Of their care
In the Nebraska exhibit there Is a tiny
wheat field, with the tender sprouts shoot
ing up braYely under the electric light. A
southern exhibit shows q field OF rice. It
win be irrieated daily 70 Shove the visitors
Just how this Celestial cereal grows
Prominent among the attractions OF the
big show outside Of its teehnlcalities will
be the daily concerts by the Mexican Ma
uonal band, which will be here throughout
tho show The concerts begin with the
