other aids to progress.
Primarily the exposition is meant
for those who lack knowledge of the
wonderful opportunities open to the
settler. There are thousands toiling
in eastern offices and factories to
whom information of this sort will
come as blessing, for they are tired
Of their chains, but do not know how
g. freak them. Other thousands,
coming out of the mere curiosity pos
sibly, will see what home in one OF
natures favored spots means and will
plan to join the army that is march
ing westward.
Tourists search out scenic beauties
during their travels, but they are not
the class who remain. 1t often hap
pens that many who would be desir-
able settlers never travel more than
fifty miles from their homes, and to
them the exhibits will mean the rev.
elation of new world Of possibilities.
Their horizon will be broadened and
they will receive a new inspiration.
Undeveloped districts of all sorts
will be benefited by the exposition.
The possibilities of dry farming will
be shown along with the wonders Of
irrigation and the humid regions will
not be neglected. Even the reclama-
nation Of swamp lands is to find
place-anything in fact, will be in
: cluded if it represents a strong move
? ment for the general good and devel-
opment of latent agricultural resourc-
. es, Every effort is to be made to
8 make the exhibits as comprehensive
as possible, and the interests behind
81 the movement are now getting the
necessary material together.
Not since the convention Of gov
re errors, summoned to the White
s. House by President Roosevelt, has
or there been hint of anything Of
< equal scope, and even at the conven-
1t ton the eheshtarodilnumrfdwuyp
le ton the exhibits were lacking.
The land exposition will open at the
he same time as the annual Information
i'd al Live Stock exposition, and this is
nd an important point, as fully 100000
at visitors come to Chicago every year
he when the prize cattle, horses, sheep
as and hogs are on display. With the
alel double attraction thisassason, it viii
be possible for anyone visiting Chi
roc cago to see in condensed form prac-
DO tically all that the west and south
have to offer.
.os Interest in colonization has never
10 been as keen as today, and the de-
- sire to take advantage of the agri-
"a cultural possibilities that are offered
= has resulted in an extraordinary dis
= play of Gland hunger" on the part OF
the general public. And the majority
of those in the middle west who are
displaying the anxiety to join the
movement back to the soil realize thai
they lack accurate knowledge of thu
\, problems of irrigation, dry farming
IN and the drainage of overlooked lands
~ Let this information be presented il
an attractive manner, and the live
eat Hest interest will be shown.
Ir- The home instinct is strong witt
hi the American people. Sometimes thi
De- instinct is overruled and the possess
by or thereof lives for years in tiny
re- ill-ventilated flat, or exhausts his vi
r. tally in an office, but the feeling
owe there, nevertheless, and some day tn
The craving for freedom and place ths
can be called "home" will win th
mastery.
ho These men will be shown what Ma
a. ture offers to the one who wishes

"; " every part of the west and soutl
80 of any consequence from the agrlcu

- Final arrangements have about bet
- completed, and it is practically ce
tain that the splendid exhibits maj
Ger at Seattle by various departments
lass the government will be dropped off
the Chicago on the way back to Washin
meu ton. The date has been set SO tn
Nes' this can be done easily.
eioh The government exhibits are of &
ucts greatest interest to the farmer al
the the stockmen. One of the finest d
oe plays is to be made by the reclamati
ana service. Models of various projeC
any are to be shown. Dams and cans
nous will be seen in miniature, charts W
explain every detail of the constrV
nag ton work and well arranged d
ique. plays will show what can be produC
the from fertile soil by means Of iris
ton. This, therefore, will be ra
ition opportunity to study details Of
and work of the reclamation service

ctiye middle west. In addition to the q
ished plays there will be lectures that
