 the county fairs, in connection with the educational exhibits of the college, which 

 have attracted considerable attention. Members of the station staff are preparing 

 timely not<^s on the work of the station for local agricultural papers, and are making 

 some little effort to visit farms in different sections with a view to getting into closer 

 touch with the farmers and with their needs. There has been an unusual demand 

 for the poultry publications of the station. 



Tennessee Station. — The agricultural department has recently prepared a per- 

 manent exhibit of the products of the station farm for the past year for the use of the 

 Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, to be sent to the various farmers' meetings in 

 the State to inform them in a graphic way of the lines of work conducted and the 

 progress being made. It consists of twenty-five large, double, oak-framed cases that 

 can be closed and locked and transported readily from place to place. This exhibit 

 was prepared at a cost of about $500, provided by the Knoxville Chamber of Com- 

 merce. Already it has done much good and has materialh'' aided in drawing the 

 attention of the farmers toward the station and its work. It has proven the most 

 effective means yet found of demonstrating to the farmers the aid the station can be 

 to them in their work.
