that crops have been or are be
ing laid by , tho farmer prepares for his
trip to the World's Fair , a treat that
has long been promised him and for
which 'he has patiently waited. No ex
position has Coffered so many induce
ments for the farmer's presence as this
one at St. Louis , nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmer's months at the Exposition ,
for it Is at this season that the agricul
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state in the
Union , and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section of
the great Agriculture Palace , but for
their special convenience there has just
been completed a Grange Ilouse , situ
ated in the south end of the building.
It is equipped with a reception room ,
ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms ,
where parcels may be left free cf
charge. Ilere will be kepc a Use of
moderate priced rooms to aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building on the grounds
is the Palace of Agriculture , covering
twenty acres , while the Palace of Ilor-
ticulture near by covers about a third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filled witl > exhibits of
the farm , garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character ,
every state in the Union and most 6f
the principal countries cf the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department at the Ex
position , the paramount importance of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
of the World's Fair movement.
About seventy acres of ground aro
covered by the agriculture and horti
culture department at the Fair , large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crop ; ? , trees and flowers , an instructive
six acre faun maintained by the Unit
ed States Government Plant Industry ,
and gardens in all parts of the grounds
There are more exhibits in the Agri
culture building than in any other sec
tion of the Exposition. This building
is considered by many people the most
interesting part of the World's Fair.
The exhibits in the palaces of Agri
culture and Horticulture constitute a
display vast enough and instructive

FAIK.
enough to occupy the attention of vis
itors for many days. Nothing to com
pare with them was ever attempted be
fore. They are the climax of several
decades of educational work which is
placing farming on a high plane and
is making scientific agriculture a pleas
ing reality.
The conspicuous role played hy agri
culture at the World's Fair should
bring untold benefits and wealth to
the farming community of the world
nnd impress all farmers with the im
portance and dignity of their calling.
Passing through these colossal build
ings , studying the attractive exhibits
and fascinated with the bewildering
encyclopedia of rural life which is
tprcad out before his eyes , the World's
Fair visitor is impressed with the im
portant part the farmer plays iu the
great world of industry , and every
farmer ho views these interesting ex
hibits js given a new pride in his vo
cation if filled with inspiration and im
pressed with new ideas in harmony
with the progressive strides that farm
ing has been making for the past few
years. The visit will give an insight
Into up to date farming on the most
approved plan and will bring new
hopes and blessings lo the farm.
Uow properly to rotate crops , how to
get the best results from fertilizing and
irrigation , how to protect crops and
fruit from the ravages of insects all
these and many more things of vital
