 portion Of th»' aj»propriation "(Jciu'ral exjK'nscs Division of Publi-

Mr. .\M)KitsoN. Are you |)lannin<r to make any exhihit at the Na- 

 tional Dairy Show next year^ 



.Mr. (JitK.KN. Yes, sir: hut just what it will he next year has not heen 

 determined. It may vary somewhat in type and desi^rn from this 

 year's exhihit at St. Paid, hut that will he decidecl later. As Mr. 

 VuL'slev i)reviously mentioned, however, we could not huild any 

 lar^'er exhihit than the one at this year's Xational Dairy Show with- 

 out usin;r more funds and if the.se were taken from our present ap- 

 propriation it would seriously hamper the exhihit work at other 

 points, 



PKOII.VULK COST I.NTKBN.KTIONAL I.IVK-STXH^K KXHIBIT. 



Mr. AxnKKsox. What amount of the appropriation was expended 

 for the Xational Dairy Show this year? 



Mr. (tkkkx. Do vou mean hv that the total cost in makinp the ex- 

 hihit^ 



.Mr. AxDKK.sox. Yes: at the daily show. 



Mr. (JiJEEX. Approximately $10.(M)(). That includes the mechan- 

 ical constructi(m of the exhihit and salary of the people durinfr the 

 time it was l)ein<r huilt. 



.Mr. AxDKK.sox. Do you think an exhihit which would ade<iuately 

 represent the dairy industry of the United States at an international 

 dairy show could he made for $10,000? 



Mr. (lUKKX. No. sir: 1 do not. 



Mr. AxDKHsox. Will you tell us what it could he made for? 



Mr. (iHKEX. Perhaps $ir).000. hut that would depend upon the 

 definition piven " ade<juate."' T do not know how nuich of an exhihit 

 Mr. Skinner has in mind. I do not think it coidd he huilt for less. 



Mr. AxDKK.sox. Well. I have a feelinfr that when we have invited 

 these people over here we oupht to pive them somethinjr for their 

 money. The exhihit ou^dit to he one that would reflect credit not 

 only upon the industry hut upon the United States. I would not 

 feci myself like with holdin<r ^.'i.OOO or $10,000 on a propositi<m of 

 that kind if it meant an adequate exhihit rather than an inadeipiate 

 one to picture the industry of the United States. 



Mr. (Jia:EX. I do not believe $1.'').()00 would build such an exhibit 

 as you refer to or one that wouKl l)e in keepin«r with other thinps 

 that I undei-stantl they will have here at this world's con«rress. I 

 would say that such an exhibit would cost $2.') ,000 .000, because the 

 exhibit we put on at the National Dairy Show this year cost us 

 between $10,000 and $11,000. and I do not think that is exactly what 

 they want.
