632 ANNUAL REPORTS OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



At the Eastern States Exposition at Springfield, Mass., the depart- 

 ment's exhibit featured hoys' and girls' club activities of the States 

 ]{elations wService, and 10 head of horses from the United States 

 Morgan horse farm, Middlebury, Vt., were exhibited for the pm-pose 

 of showing to the New England farmers the progress being made in 

 the department's horse-breeding work. 



In addition to the foregoing, exhibits on practically all subjects 

 relating to agriculture were prepared or made available from exliibits 

 on hand and sent to numerous points throughout the United States. 



A radical departure has been made in the style of the presentation 

 of information in exhibit form. So far as practicable single exhibits 

 are confined in scope to single outstanding broad subjects, and the 

 favor with which this method of presentation has been received, 

 indicates that the course adopted is along progressive lines. 



The department has developed a harmonious, attractive, forceful, 

 and practical standard type of exhibits showing clearly and in con- 

 crete form the results of its investigational work. As a result educa- 

 tional institutions, agricultural associations, and kindred organiza- 

 tions are increasingly willing to share in the cost of presenting these 

 exhibits to the public. 



BRAZILIAN INTERNATIONAL CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 



The department's exhibit material prepared for the Brazilian Inter- 

 national Centennial Exposition to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 

 September 7, 1922, to March 31, 1923, was finished and shipped on 

 July 25, 1922. Six of the important bureaus of the department 

 (Bureau of Public Roads, Bureau of Animal Industry, Weather 

 Bureau, Forest Service, States Relations Service, and Bureau of 

 Plant Industry) participated in the exliibits prepared under direction 

 of this office. A carload and a half of material, designed to cover 

 4,000 square feet of floor space, was shipped south. The exhibit 

 represents a careful selection of subjects with an eye to including 

 onl}^ those relating to American farming which are of most interest to 

 Brazilians. Large composite paintings, models, maps, illustrations, 

 graphs, and specimens were used to show road construction in the 

 United States, the livestock, naval-stores, and navel-orange indus- 

 tries, the gathering and distribution of weather information, educa- 

 tional facilities in agriculture and forestry, and our forestry resources. 

 The following reports were -written and translated into Portuguese, 

 and were printed for distribution at the exposition: 



Forests and Forestry in the United States. 

 Livestock Industry of the United States. 

 The United States Forest Service. 

 The United States Weather Bureau. 

 The Study of Forestry.

by the department, to be shown daily in three auditoriums on the 

 exposition grounds.
