IMPLEMENT SHOW GREAT.

Superintendent Green Of this Depart
rnent at Michigan state Fair Says
Exhibition Will Exceed All Former
Attempts.
Superintendent v. w. Green of the
implement and machinery department
of the Michigan State Fair, says he
has nearly Is per cent more contracts
signed at the present time with man.
ufacturers who are going to exhibit
at the Michigan State Fair than were
registered a year ago in the closing
week OF August Never in the his
tory of the fair have SO many manu-.
featuring firms sought to display their
products, he says.
How do / account for 1t, do you
ask? Simply this. The Wolverine
state has been blessed with bumper
crops and these manufacturers realize
that farmers are going to spend their
money for Improvements. Imple.
ments that will be displayed are all
of the latest design in labor saving
devices and the tiller of the soil
needs them. They have the money
and are going to spend II freely for
these necessities.
Just to show that the farmer is no
longer living the isolated life Of form
er years, | want to tell you that one
of the leading electrical concerns Of
che country has closed contract
with us to display a miniature light
ing plant that is especially designed
for the farm. 1t is complete in every
detail and will make the farm house,
Tho harm wards and In fact every
thing about the place as bright as
city street. The power also Is avail
able for running machinery, which
will do away with much Of the hard
labor connected with farm life.
The Michigan State Fair this year
will exceed everything OF the kind
ever held in this state am an i'm
plement man and deal largely with
farmers throughout the state. They
are all enthusiastic over this coming
exhibition and plan to send the very
best for display that they can com.
mand. Thousands have been prepar.
ing for the fair since the opening OF
spring. The finest products and the
best cattle produced in the country
will be on exhibition when the fair
opens on SEPT. 2. The crowds will be
enormous and | have every reason 60
believe that the city will be taxed to
accommodate the people who visit the
fair next month | think Detroit
hardly realizes what the Michigan
people are going to do during the
fair. They are coming into the city
IKE a great wave, but all will be
cared for.

BRAZIL TO SHOW PRODUCTS.

South American Country Becomes In.
terest in the Michigan Fair; Cot.
fee, Lumber and Various other
Things Exploited.
The government OF Brazil will make
an exhibit at the Michigan State
Fair, which opens this year on Sept
and continues until Sept 10. Clin-
ton d. Smith, of the Agricultural Col
lege at Piracicaba, has shipped to
Detroit a great collection represent
ing various products produced in that
southern country. IL consists OF about
everything grown in the tropics and
will be of great educational value TO
every one who attends the State Fair.
Brazil is a great coffee country and
furnishes many countries of the world
with fine product in this line.
Great varieties of this berry will
be seen in the Brazilian exhibit The
berry will be shown hanging to
branches in various stages of ma
urity. The lumber display will also
be interesting. Mr. Smith in his let
ter 10 Secretary Butterfield says
The Brazilian exhibit will consist

hundred kinds of wood which the
Michigan people will want before
many years are past After the fair
is over this collection is to be sent

The exhibit also contains the vari-
Gus kinds of coffee grown in Brazil
This will require some expense to get
into shape but l authorize Prof. Taft
TO attend to this and the Brazilian
government will pay all bills. The
State Of st. Paul is producing as good
coffee as can be found anywhere In
the world, but 1t is also raising some
very poor stuff. Most Of the latter
is kept for home consumption, but It
is included in the samples. This cof-
] fee collection ought to be Of valus to
Detroit merchants, and l suggest that
it be kept in your chamber of com
merce just to show what can be OBJ

are samples OF the soil, rich In iron,
