1t is expected that this will be the
largest and best land show in point
of attendance ever held in America.
No land show ever held in the world
will have been given in the center of
so many millions people. More than
half the entire population of the ma
ton is within nights or days
ride of New York City, and to these
the exposition of the productivity and
riches of the American soil will make
direct appeal.
A compelling magnet will be the
giving away daily to visitors by popu-
lar allotment of a farm, orchard, irrl-
gated grain tract or grain land In
various parts of the United States.
Free gifts of this kind have never
been offered in New York or the East.
and this will prove a great attrac'
ton.
Among the prize allotments are 100
acres of grain land in Montana, donat-
ed by President Elliott of the North
ern Pacific Railway; ten acres of irri-
gated land near Roswell, New Mexico,
given by the Western Irrigated Land
and Orchard Company, of New York,
and fine five-acre pecan orchard at
Tallahassee, Fla, donated by Presi-
dent Stilwell of the Florida Pecan
Endowment Company.

For the first time in its history the
metropolis of America is to have a

for 1911 will be of greater interest to

Seven millions of people living on

have their first opportunity to witness
an exhibit of the products and re.

These spores alight on leaf or fruit
and under favorable conditions of heat
and moisture germinate. giving rise to
threadlike projections which pene-
trate the plants tissues.
The main fact to be borne in mind
ia this: The spores which may be
present in innumerable numbers may
be destroyed or their termination pre-
vented by the application of certain
substances known as fungicides, while
existing as spores on the outside of
plants, but after these have pene-
trated the tissue of leaf. stem or root,
spraying is of no avail. In other
words, spraying for plant diseases
must be wholly for prevention.
The following formula for Bordeaux
mixture Is used as a preventive of
fungous diseases, as potato blight, ap-
pie scab, etc. Various formulas are
quoted, but the following is now ac-
cepted as safe and reliable:

ties of the nation to stimulate a
stronger tie of labor and of capital
toward the undeveloped land.
When this fact was brought to the
attention of Arthur e. Stilwell, presi-
dent of the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient Railway and of the United
States and Mexican Trust Company,
In his Office in the Singer tower he
quickly realized that land show
in New York City would be eagerly
welcomed by hundreds of thousands
of its citizens anxious to learn the
agricultural resources of our country
and to secure some knowledge of the
opportunities to be found in tilling
the soil.
Mr.. Stilwell at once authorized his
interviewer, Mr.. Gilbert McClurg, who
had directed the national irrigation
congresses in Colorado and Utah, to
organize the American Land and Irri-
son Square Garden and to hold New
York's first land show there in No
vember of the present year.
The first New York land exposition
Is to be thoroughly representative OF
American agriculture as we'll as the
most picturesque and instructive call
of the land ever presented in the ma
tion. Exhibitors will display their
soil and its products or show maps
and relief models Of their holdings.
Agriculture as 1t is generally prac-
ticed, dry farming and irrigation
methods will be demonstrated. Nov.
ing pictures, illustrated lectures, liter.
ature, growers and agents will demon.
strate the possibilities of American
soils. In fact, the exposition will per-
fectly illustrate that from the land
comes all permanent wealth and that
life on the land affords the greatest
measure of independence.
Big Men Encourage Agriculture.
President Stilwell has secured for
the exposition thoroughly represen-
tative advisory and governing board.
It Is made up Of the presidents of
twelve Of the great railway systems
OF the country. United States Sen.
ators and Congressman, thirty gov.
ernors Of the most progressive states
Of the Union. and we'll known agri-
eultnrists. educators and bankers.

commonly ascribed to weather con-
ditions. Indirectly this is often true,
but neither rain nor drought nor any
other atmospheric condition is ever
directly the cause of plant diseases.
Rainy weather does not directly
cause plum rot, but provides condi-
tions favorable to the development Of
the fungus, and probably unfavorable
conditions for the development of the
plum and its ability to resist the in
vasion of the disease.
Fungi (plant diseases) are propa-
gated by spores, minute bodies which
may float in the air and are usually

LIN to the Farmer

When a farmer breeds Indifferent
cattle, horses or sheep he receives
less for his labor and feed than he
should receive, adds less to the wealth
of his state than the upto-date farm.
er, and is at disadvantage when he
undertakes to secure for himself and
family the things which help to make
life worth living, says writer in an
exchange. / do not mean to say that
the individual farmer owes more to
the community or to the state than
the laborer. the lawyer, the doctor. the
educator, the preacher or the business
man; but we do expect more from
them as whole. because there are
more of them than all these others
combined.
