ate with the American Land and Ir-
rigation Exposition, to be held in
New York City November Is to De-
cember g. Last year this exposition

New York City. 1t practically enl-
phasizes the possibilities of the West
in fruit production while New Jersey
with it's pre- eminent success and un-
! limited possibilities was not repre-
sented. The recent Legislature re-
cognized the injustice of this and
made an appropriation of $4,000 for
a commission, said commission to be
constituted of the president and sec
retary of the State Board of Agricul-
ture, Hon Joseph Freling ghuysen and

cultural Experiment Station. There
will also be an executive committee
-of one from each county, Wood Wyne,

sion will be directed toward arousing
such interest throughout the State as
will materialize in a creditable ex-
hibit under the auspices of the New
Jersey Commission. Next Falls ex-
Inhibition will be held in the Armory,
New York City.
