FOREST SERVICE TO
HAVE EXHIBITS AT
FAIRS DURING FALL

Government exhibits by the de-
partment of agriculture will be
made this fall at Ration, Prescott
and Phoenix, according to word re-
ceived today by the district for
ester of the forest service in Albu-
querque. Various bureaus, such as
roads, biological survey and forest
service will contribute material to
the exhibit, which cover about
1900 square feet.
Three men from the several local
offices Of the department in the
southwest will accompany the ex-
hibt. Mr.. Joseph c. Kircher, in
charge of public relations of the
local forest office, will be the forest
service representative at these
fairs.
A complete model of a fire
lookout station used on the forests
Of this district will be the central
feature of the forest service por-
ton of the exhibit, according to
Mr.. Kircher. This model is being
built by a local carpenter and is
accurate as to scale and method
of construction.
The last of the exhibit material
used in the southwest last year was
shipped from Albuquerque yester-
day going to the district forester
at ogden, Utah. This is the big
painted camp scene with hollow
framing logs, which was used In
the balcony of the armory during
the New Mexico Teachers conven-
ton last November. The scene will
be used at fairs in Utah and Idaho
this year.
