A brief Description of the Exposition, Extracts of important Rules and Regulations, and an Analysis of the Plan and Scope of the Exhibit Departments

INFORMATION IÜ915 w for EXHIBITORS present proportions will be presented in a graphic and highly instructive manner. The Classification of the Department therefore covers practically all the products coming from the soil; the tools and implements, the methods of cultivation, of har- vesting, of irrigation, of drainage; the by-products and the manufactured forms of such products, their prepa- ration and preservation; including everything edible and drinkable which comes, however remotely, from the soil and which enters into the home life or commerce of the peoples of the world. Live Stock HE great renewal of interest in live stock produc- tion all over the world is traceable to two causes — the decrease in the supply, and the realization that the continuity of agriculture depends upon the restora- tion to the soil of the fertility that is incident to live stock production. The leading source of income to the farmers of the United States and to a majority of those engaged in agricultural pursuits everywhere, is the sell- ing of animals and poultry off the farm. It is therefore meet and proper that live stock should receive a large share of recognition at San Francisco in 1915. Human life itself is so closely interwoven with the production of animals for purposes of utility and with the output of the dairy and the poultry yard, and there has been such marked progress along these lines, that no more significant lesson can be spread for the study of man- kind.
