OFFICE OF EXHIBITS. 631 



circuits market reports were received over radio receiving sets, 

 installed as a part of the exhibit. This was one of the special features 

 at the International Livestock Tllxposition, and numerous requests 

 were made on the department's representatives for copies of this 

 free daily service. 



At the western district fairs exhibits were presented on the activities 

 of the Forest Service, Biological Survey, Bureau of Public Roads, 

 Bureau of Animal Industry, and Bureau of Agricultural Economics. 

 These exhibits were conducted by western representatives of the 

 three bureaus first named. Subjects from all the major bureaus 

 were presented in the general agricultural exhibits. Representatives 

 from various bureaus were detailed from Washington to conduct 

 these exhibits. Comment from press and public was enthusiastically 

 appreciative. 



EXHIBIT AT THE NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW. 



Exhibits were prepared in booth form for the National Dairy 

 Show. Composite pictorial, graphic, and word presentations were 

 made on the walls of 23 of these booths of the various phases of 

 dairy-cattle breeding, handling, and foreign marketing. The States 

 Relations Service gave demonstrations of judging by the boys' and 

 girls' clubs on a herd of live animals which the Bureau of Animal 

 Industry furnished for the exhibit. The type of exhibit and method 

 of presentation proved exceptionally successful, and requests have 

 been received for its use at several places during the next fair season. 

 The consensus of opinion was expressed in a letter by the secretary 

 of a prominent association when he wTote: ''That is a good way to 

 put publicitv into the hands of the people who will benefit most 

 by it." 



The most extensive of the special exhibits were sho^^'n at the National 

 Dairy Show, at Hamline, Minn., and the International Livestock 

 Exposition, at Chicago, 111. 



Previous to its display at the National Dairy Show a portion of 

 this dairy exhibit was showTi at the Dairy Cattle Congress at Waterloo, 

 Iowa. Afterwards it went in whole or in part to the Pacific Inter- 

 national Livestock Exposition at Portland, Oreg., the California 

 Dairy Council at Stockton, Calif., the Wisconsin Dairy Show at 

 Madison, Wis., and the Michigan Dairy Show at Saginaw, Mich. 



Some of the booths prepared for the National Dairy Show, and 

 particularly those on the use of milk, were later loaned for use 

 in milk campaigns at Richmond, Va., Chattanooga, Tenn., Oshkosh, 

 Wis., Columbus, Ohio, New Orleans, La., and Oklahoma City, Okla. 



INTERNATIONAL HAY AND GRAIN SHOW. 



Eleven splendid booths similar in style to those prepared for the 

 National Dairy Show, presenting livestock information from the 

 Bureaus of Animal Industry, Agricultural Economics, Chemistry, 

 Soils, Forest Service, and the States Relations Service were prepared 

 for the International Hay and Grain Show in Chicago. A few 

 models were also used. Many letters of commendation have been 

 received from the presidents of agricultural colleges and prominent 

 farmers and stockmen throughout the United States; also much 

 favorable comment has appeared in the agricultural press.
