They show an intense Interest In Cali- | fornia, and there is no doubt that this | fair, while not the most largely attend- ed of modern exhibitions, will be of greater benefit to California than most any other because of being within such easy reach of these farmers, who would be among the first to become residents of that State and who have enough money to buy homes there. FAIR A GREAT EDUCATOR. With the exposition a few hundred | miles farther away, there are many farmers in Kansas and Arkansas who ‘would not think of visiting it, but when | it is placed at their very doors they | flock to it and gain a knowledge of some of the wonders of the world, in cluding California’s climate and pro- ductiveness. The fair is proving a great educator to the people of these regions, and one of the most attractive things to them seems, to be California’s dis- play, the fruits shown there being in bright contrast to the wheat and corn grown on their prairies. They consider a visit to the California section neees- | sary. “It's natural for people to become at- tached to the place where their homes are,” said a Kansas farmer to one of the county commissioners, “and we who have gone over to Kansas and saved some money and got hold of| some land love the State, but I know | there's lots of us feel that we would like to go to California and live. You see, there isn't much variety of scenery out our way and our climate isn’'t the best, even not mentioning the cyclones, 8o it is natural that those of us who want to get the most comfort out of life should have g desire to go to Cali- fornia, where climate and scenery are perfect, providing we can do as well there as in Kansas. CAN DO BETTER HERE. “With our knowledge of farming I am convinced we can do better in Califor- nia than in Kansas. Alfalfa, dairy pro- ducts and livestock will make us money from the start, and we can gradually get into the fruit business if we see money in it. Ranches in the thickly settled portion of our region are probably at their top notch of price now, and there is plenty of reasonable priced land in California if all the rep- resentations made here are correct.

This is one mcldem of what is being done. STICK TO THE TRUTH. The county commissioners are careful to keep well within the bounds of truth | when talking to visitors who are look- ing toward California and any stranger | who is induced by them to go to that State will find things as represented. Many who come to inquire are skepti- cal at first when told the wonderful story of California’s productiveness and the ideal conditions that wait the ‘\&ettler there, but they usually become ‘L‘on\lm.ed that all is as told them. The knowledge that large holdings in Cali- | fornia are being opened up to small | farmers is becoming generally known | among Eastern tillers of the soil and |is helping the State a great deal in |ltI efforts to attract settlers. Thomas Hatch, who is in charge of California’s forestry display, is becom- ing quite a well known character at the fair. Many people visit the ex- hibit as much to see him and hear some of his gquaint talk as anything else. Some of Hatch's practical knowl- edge, gained in the forests, upsets the theories of learned professors who, as he says, and go away tharking him for some- thing he has told them.” Hatch is not a theorist. The trees are his com- panions. He has livea among them association. There are a great many trees and the scientists do, but there are some things he has discovered that science can make use of and he has been given many commissions by learned men to make special observa- tions for them in his future life in the forest. A WELL FILLED REGISTER. Custodian Hatch boasts that 60,000 people have placed their names on his register against 16,000 on those of a nearby State, prominent for its wood product. The eight delegates from California make as Inuch in one place as he can in anothér—he should choose for the life residence place of himself and his children that one which brings the most pleasure and comfort and the least hardship. When one can be among fruits and flowers and perpetual spring without loss of revenue he is not sensi- ble to stay where winter freezes and the tornado destroys just for love of association. I think the St. Louis fair will result in a great many prosperous families transporting themselves from the Kansas and Arkansas region to the inviting lands of California.” There is not a county exhibiting at the fair that has not attained tangible results of magnitude. Captain Harris of Kings County is now at Des Moines, Iowa, to arrange for the departure of fifteen families, who are to miove at once to Kings County and settle there.
