The American Land and Irrigation
Exposition will be held at Madison
Square Garden, New York City.
November to II, 1911, and it is in
tended to be held annually thereaf-
ter. The purpose of the exposition
is to provide space to exhibit the
products of American soil; to give
the people Of the farm and country,
as we'll as town and city dwellers, a
thorough demonstration Of the agri-
cultural opportunities in America,
and to depict the progress Of agri-
cultural industry up to it's high point
of achievement.
A demonstration of the various
products Of the soil of the North
west in New York City is a new
thing, and the advertising value of
splendid agricultural and horticul-
tural exhibit from the territory be-
tween the Great Lakes and the Paci-
fc Ocean will give great impetus to
colonization, and will tend to in
crease land values. This will be the
first opportunity ever offered to
farmers Of the Atlantic seaboard to
learn about the soil and soil products
of our northwestern country without
making preliminary transcontinen-
tai journey to do so.
For the first time in the history Of
America, at this New York Land
Show, there will be Songs Of the Soil
and the Prize Irrigation Ode render
ed daily by a chorus of 200 voices
one Of the finest choral organizations
Of America.
What Part Will The Northwest Have?
Every man who makes his home in
the territory between the Great
Lakes and the North Pacific Coast
should have a keen and active inter-
est in seeing that our great north
western section is adequately and
properly represented. The North
west must take as many Of the prizes
to be offered as it possibly can, for
just to the extent that the North
west figures prominently among the
exhibitors and comes out with hon
ors, to just that extent will the peo-
pie Of the world look to this section
with admiring eyes and with dispos-
ltlon to locate here.
This is great opportunity to ad-
Yert!se the Northwest in the heart
OF the over crowded East and
at the very gateway to our conn
try. Let US tell the people, not
only IN the United States, but of
Canada and the entire world, what
magnificent products can be raised
m our great sisterhood Of states
from the Great Lakes and Upper
Mississippi Valley to the Coast.
The winning of these prizes will
benefit not only the Northwest as a
whole, but each prize taken will be
great benefit to the locality which
earns the prize. 1t will mean the
boosting Of land values. It will mean
the directing Of special attention to
Your section. It cannot be too strong
