READY FOR CROWDS
AL Chicago Prepared to FL
terrain the Visitors to
Land Exposition.
Never Such an Interest in Land and
irrigation Befcre-Al, Parts of the
Country Responding to the Call TO
the Great Land Rally.

When the Chicago Tribune first pro-
posed the Land and Irrigation Expo
sition the public little realized the
Juror 1T would create throughout the
country. The em:ssarics of the expo
sition management have gone into
every western state and aroused an in
tefest that will have its climax on the
opening day of the coming show.
Other representatives were sent
taiaughcul tee east aid south, calling
70 THIS elsat oolsaea,icn everyone
who is Interested in land development.
The work has gone on and ON with.
such energy and united effort that the
coming event will be one of the great
est in Chicago since the Columbian ex-
position in 1898
approximately half million dollars
will be expended on this magnificent
display of western and southern prod
ucts and the marvellous possibilities in
the states of the west and south.
Never has an exposition been UNDER
taken in Chicago where the entire
scheme of installation has been
planned on such harmonious scale.
The great Coliseum will be thing of
beauty throughout it's vast interior.
The decorations will be true to the
spirit of the whole enterprise. Com
Ing as this exposition does at the time
OF the International Live STOCK Show,
Nov. 20 to Dec. 4, Chicago will offer,
as theatrical people express ii, Il
"double bill" to the people of the coun-
try. 1t is the greatest combined
show of the period.
All the railroads centering in Chica-
go, and all of their connections at dis
tant points have prepared for large
traffic in view of the widespread inter
est which this exposition has created.
Chicago is unquestionably the great
est land center in America. All of the
large companies which are developing
the country have their headquarters
here, and it is entirely fitting that Chi
cago should take the lead in planning
and carrying out an exposition on the
grand scale which is now reaching a
olds5e VI COliplellOl. lnefe VIII be no
disappointment for the coming visitor.
The vastness of our land interests will
amaze those who consider themselves
familiar with this nations Develop
ment
The orchards of the northwest and
the central mountain districts; the
great stock ranches of Montana and
other states; the orange groves and
peach orchards of California; the rich
valley lands of Arizona where all SUBJ
tropical fruits grow in such wonderful
abundance; the great coastal plains of
Texas and Louisiana with their vast
sugar and rice plantations, will all be
represented in the exhibits, and the
homeseeker may have a choice of
countless opportunities which these va
rious regions offer.
The United States government is
lending it's aid to this enterprise and
will have numerous exhibits. The
great work of drainage and irrigation
and the equally important work of soil
survey and crop production will all be
in charge OF experts who will give first
hand information to every inquirer. IL
