other grains and forage plants. The hor-
ticultural exhibit is unusually complete.
and includes displays Of apples. peaches.

In every detail.
Much benefit is expected 10 accrue TO
the state fro mthe showing OF ttah's un-
bounded resources AT the Omaha and
New York eXpCsitions. II was partscu-
larlv desired that the exhibit be taken

20 be seen by great multtudes. II Is
due 20 the public spirit and the energy
Of Mr Kiesei and those who responded
so promptly 10 his call that this has been
mace possible
Inasmuch as the famous tabernacle
choir will appear at Madison Square In
with the big exposition, there
seems 10 be no doubt that Utah Will be
extremely well represented NJ the great
national show.
