546 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



State Forester's Exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposi- 

 tion. 

 An appropriation of $3,000 was made this department by 

 the Board of Managers for Massachusetts for making an exhibit 

 at San Francisco. This has been spent in getting together the 

 following material : — 



(1) A large relief map of the whole State in which the forest 

 and agricultural areas are shown. The forest-fire lookout 

 stations are all located on this map by miniature towers; also 

 the various State and private reservations are painted in. The 

 State Forester was fortunate in securing the services of Mr. 

 Warren Manning, landscape architect, of Boston, who had full 

 charge of the construction. This map is 15 feet long by 6 feet 

 wide, and is the exact size of the United States geological maps. 

 This map will prove of great value after the exposition is over, 

 as it can be used for many purposes by this department. 



A duplication of this map was also made for the State Board 

 of Agriculture, which has been colored to show the lands 

 adapted for general agriculture in contrast to the present con- 

 ditions as shown on the forestry map. The two maps are to 

 be in adjoining booths at the exposition, which will add to 

 their value. 



(2) A fully equipped Massachusetts forest-fire wagon, similar 

 to those used in our towns. 



(3) A miniature steel lookout station of our own design. 



(4) A large-sized, fully equipped power sprayer, a facsimile of 

 those constructed and used in the moth work in Massachusetts. 



(5) Two cases of colored transparencies, each containing 48 

 pictures, showing Massachusetts forestry and moth conditions 

 and work. These pictures are each 8 by 10 inches in size, and 

 electric fixtures are so arranged that the artificial light brings 

 out their coloring. 



(6) Several large sketches of typical Massachusetts scenery 

 painted in colors by Mr. INIanning will be used on the wall 

 space. 



(7) Various maps and placards, showing forestry data, pub- 

 lications, etc. 



This material is all of such a nature that it can be used in 

 this department when the exposition is over.
