be seen in the great corn growing
areas of the Middle West. In connec-

Agriculture of Island Is Well
Shown in All It's Branches
and in Great Variety

By far the largest and most COM
prehensiye exhibit within the fair
grounds at Waikiki was that of the
.dap artment CT agronomy. Some de-
scribed II as tie chief feature Of the
fair. Judging from the attendance
which il drew end from the length OF
time that visitors spent within the
tent 1t was at least one of the most
interesting. To many, who had little
idea OF the agricultural possibilities
Ct the islands, this exhibit was VERT
able revelation not only in the va
riety shown but in the lesson as to
what scientific agriculture is acomp-
fishing and making possible OF ac-
compIishment.

Superior to that at Hilo. Explaining
he added that beans are not a wet

fact that Hilo had not offered SO good
