1 Operating as a special ten-car train
and carrying six cars of especially
prepared exhibits, this train is de-
signed to attract the attention of all
classes of people regardless OF what
their major farming enterprises may
be, according to college authorities.
The man interested in livestock will
naturally be attracted to the beef,
sheep and hog exhibits and will find
much to. interest him in the piiysi-
cal display of economic factors that
| have a direct bearing on the net re-
turns from stock. In the same sense
1 the dairyman will look to that por-
ton of the train having to do with
dairying and dairy products, and the
same may be said as to the poultry,
fruit vegetables, potatoes, hay and
grain. In each community the pro-
gram will be adjusted SO as to en-
phasize the enterprise in which most
people are interested, yet in every
community all of the exhibits will be
available for thorough inspection. To
get the most out of the day the pub
| lie is urged to be on hand promptly
at the start and take in the entire
program.
Kennewick extends to the people
of this territory warm welcome tor
the big event on Saturday, May H.
