Leaders in This Movement Direct It

The National Conservation Exposi,
ton will be held at Knoxville in the
fall of 1913-an exposition of national
scope and importance-an exposition

with the nations leaders in the con.
servation movement directing it.
This exposition is to be educational
and will lead in the best work which
the people of the nation have to do
for the welfare of the present genera
ton and generations to come. Former
expositions have been in the nature of
celebrations of past events. The Ma,
tional Conservation Exposition looks
forward instead of backward, and is
designed to promote the highest devel
opment and best use of all natural re-
| sources. 1t will show what has bee.
done along lines of substantial prog
ress, and how greater things may be
accomplished.
1t is a new exposition idea whict
will be presented for the first time 1t
Knoxville, in 1913, to the people of the
South and the nation The best fea.
lures of past expositions will be shown,
but in more interesting form, made
possible by improvements in all lines
Of industry and commerce. In man.
ufacturing displays, the conservation
idea Will be brought out in exhibits
which show the saving of time and la
Dor, the prevention of waste and !he
utilization of by-products. In agrl@ul-
ture, not only the products of soils,
but varieties of soils, the most ap-
proved methods of preparation, drain
age, fertilization, cultivation and har-
vesting-methods for the prevention
of erosion, teaching or deterioration
from any cause.
Knoxville was awarded the eXposi
handle the project and because of its
splendid location for an exposition OF
this nature. 1t is easily and quickly
accessible from both North and South
and is in the center of region in
which conservation work is especially
active at this time.
At least years start in the build
ing of the exposition was made by the
exposition held at Knoxville during the
past two years, and work begins a
q point which would have taken an
osher city several years to reach. Fol
these reasons wonderful results car
be obtained in exposition building
within the next eight moths, and the
present plans being carried out Knox
vile will have an exposition of thu
magnitude originally contemplated.
