ADDING TO AC. BUILDING

Hamline, Mimi, July 17.-With
the completion of the addition to
the agricultural building on the
state fair grounds, Minnesota has
the largest permanent building de-
voted to the exhibition of the ag
ricultural products in the entire
world.
The new part, built, between the
east and south wings of the old
structure, contains 6,041 square
feet, making a grand total in the
building of 3S,S73 square feet OF
available space This is not only
the largest building in the world
but it is the largest amount OF
floor space under one roof on the
Minnesota State Fair grounds, with
the possible exception of the grand
stand, in which there are four
floors instead of one.
Even this immense building will
not be large enough to properly
house the county and agricultural
exhibits of the 1912 state fair. Last
year the old building was crowded
with thirty-four county exhibits
This year forty-six counties have
taken space for exhibits and there
are half dozen more that have
not yet decided, so that the total
number of county exhibits this year
will probably be fifty or practically
sixty per cent of all the counties
in the state. ......
This remarkable showing insures
the states resources and possibili.
ties being perfectly mirrored at the
state fair. 1t is also making Super
intendent Craig and Secretary Simp,
son resort to mathematical calculus
in an effort to find room for all of
the counties and for the market
gardeners and other agricultural
exhibitors besides. They insist, how,
ever, that all will be provided for
if they have to build still another
addition.
