Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1913-10-09


 cial to the Yuma Daily Examiner)- But one week remains until the open ing of the California Land Show and Home Industry Exposition. The great pavilion has been transformed into a redwood forest in which hun dreds of trees are crowned with the greenery and strung with festoons of electric globes gaily decorated with artificial poinsettas.
 An army of men divided into groups is working upon the various exhibits. Here is the skeleton of a dome-like structure towering into the branches of the redwoods. It is to be covered with the products of Sacramento coun- ty and when finished with a replica of the state capitol. Across the broad aisle is a giant clock, the construction of which but for it's actual mechanism, will be entirely of apples. This is one of the features of Sonoma county. In the distance is a huge oil derrick and a drilling outfit from the Standard oil Company's plant at Richmond. In another section is an immense relief may of Sutter and Tuba counties,
 showing the rivers, railroads, cities and agricultural lands. These coun- ties will also have a miniature grow ing vineyard. These are but a few of the many exhibits in course of con- struction. In a few days the number of men will be doubled and what are at present crude structures will begin to take on form and color.
 Monterey county will have a classic pergola with twining vines. Kern county will show it's oil and mineral products as we'll as it's fruit. Contra Costa county will have an agricultural exhibit in addition to the extensive industrial display at Richmond. Men docino county will have display con- sisting entirely of apples. Fresno county will show dried fruits, the fam ous raisins, and the vegetables which, while not yet famous, must soon be come so. Humboldt and Santa Cruz counties will both display apples and will contend with Sonoma for the su- premacy in this line, both having planned most unique exhibits.
 San Mateo county will have a most artistic display which is to include the industrial as we'll as the agricul- tural products of that section Artis- tic stone seats, Pompeian urns and terra cOtta tiling will enter the gen. eral scheme of design, and orchids representing thousands of dollars will be displayed as well as prize chrys- anthemums and other floral products of San Mateo county. Merced county has chosen unique feature display, one of which must indelibly impress the visitor with the leading product of that cOuntryp. A huge structure in the form of a sweet potato, which will be seen from every side of the pdNllIOll, VIII serve as Iu0 OlllC0 OI IH0 men in charge of the exhibit Sweet
 toes will be the theme of the lit erature they will distribute. Similar ly, Placer county will make a special ty of peaches and five carloads of the luscious fruit will be given away on Placer Day, October 18th.
 The individual exhibitors will vie with the counties. Many of these have industrial exhibits of great edu- cational value. Ba1four Guthrie will display an exact miniature of the great irrigation system at Brentwood The Italian-Swiss colony will show the various stages of the process of wine making and will supplement this with an illustrated lecture upon this sub ject to be given in the lecture hall Every stage of the idustry from ,--,4 growing of the grapes to he labelling of the bottles will be shown in moving pictures.
