A general organization as to location
and space of the various exhibits at
the Midland Empire fair at Billings,

completed by Bert Hammond, manager
of the fair. Decisions have been made
by the fair board as to the character
of exhibits in the new agricultural
building II the main auditorium.
The reconstruction and enlargement
of the poultry department in the left
wing of the grandstand building is
completed. The contractors have also
begun making the f~ootings for the COW

Hall to he erected mt a cost of $4,000
Many Farm Displays
According to the location plans for
the exhibits in the agricultural build
ing, there will be a row of exhibit
booths on both sides and a double row
in the center, built the full length of
the building. A space for the judges
work will be reserved in II center.
Spaces have been reserved for %
county exhibits and also for the yell
community At NV iiiC
entire agricultural and industrial ex-
hibit OF the Indians. Sufficient space
has also been reserved to house all the
exhibits of boys and girls club work
in the same building. Other exhibits
will include all butter, milk and cheese
products of the dairy department and
the honey display from the apiary de
partment.
Special displays which will also be
housed in the building include n poison
plant display from Montana state col
iege, the United States display of
range conditions by the forestry SER
vice, and II general exhibit of the
Canadian government. The total floor
space available in the building is 49,
500 square feet.
Autos in Center
In the main auditorium. the booths
along the sides of the building will CON
tinue to be occupied by business houses
and special Industrial exhibits. as in
former years. The main innovation
will he that the entire central part OF
the building will be devoted to the
100000 automobile show, which for
the last w years has been held in a
tent. 1t is expected the auto display
will be the biggest and most complete
ever held here. There are also sew
eral novelty exhibits which are being
arranged for. Two fox farms near
Billings will make a display showing
value Of furs, conditions under which
the foxes are raised and other educa-
tiona TEXTURES of the industry.
The poultry department in the east
end of the grand stand building has
been entirely changed. The entrance
will be directly off the main entrance
TO the seats. The entire space from
there to the east end of the bleachers
will be devoted to the poultry show.
This gives an entire length Of 100 feet
and a floor space of 12,SOO square feet,
by far the largest building devoted to
a poultry display in the state.
All of the tables in the poultry build
ing have been rearranged, and the
coops reconstructed. New coops are
being added for the turkey displays.
The side wallis have been painted and
more windows have been added giving
better ventilation and more light.
