AGRICULTURE If you'll g’ance over toward the right, and squint your eyes just a bit, you may find yourself’ transported (back to the California of the days before the arrival of the Padres. (Now, remaining where you are, just turn your head slightly and look to the extreme left. You’ll probably agree that you never saw a better. reproduction of a modern California ‘arm homes anywhere. Over on the other side? The why and the wherefores—treated so realistically that you actually went to speak to the figures—of the remarkable promotional progress and. the great mantle jof inspection ~safety thrown around California farms, by the State Department of Agriculture. The foregoing may be a sample of something you will hear when you enter the vast Hall of Agriculture ‘on , Treasure Island next February. Under the sponsorship of the California State Commission, a tour of the Hall, astonishing exhibits! and of other now actively under construction was /made this week, Exposition wise observers agreed that superlatives may / properly be used for the display we are about to examine: Visualize a circular setting 100 feet in length by 15 feet in depth or . width. On this stage, accurately reproduced with modeled figures and in natural colors are the settings for California agriculture from before 1769 to and including 1939. Yes, travel 100 feet and re-live 170 years. The major phases in the agricultural development of the state: (1) (2) the introduction of agricultural instruction by the Padres; (3) the Spanish period; (4) Fort Sutter of the ’49 era; (5) the fabulous gold rush days; (6) the coming of the railways and the resultant astounding development; (7) the present era, with machinery mastering the soil, “The cradle of agriqulture in California’’——the grounds of ‘the San Gabriel Mission—will be shown in detail. The first planting of orange trees in the front of the mission and the dlose identity of the San Gabriel Mission with the great stock raising industry of the state, are being vivid.
entary principles of agriculture to the Indians the ‘Padres laid the foundation for the great work now being carried! on by the’ California State Department of Agriculture. The awakening of the gold miners to the fact that men had to eat and that food must be produced are being illustrated in an indelible manly depicted. In teaching the rudimner. “Old Huntington No. 1’? — also known as the C. P. Huntington— pioneer locomotive of the Central Pacific railroad and beloved by California historians, is being groomed through the medium of a model exeeedingly realistic—on a track. before a typical station tank town of the 60’s. : Yes, school children, farmers, business men and educators will have an entirely new conception of the problems which California agriculture has solved when they Visit this astonishing exhibition — now well . along toward completion — in the Hall of Agriculture on Treasure Is. land next year. Let’s return to our other diorama . also 100 feet long and 15 feet in . depth—on the opposite side of the . display: Here we see the :practical working of the efficient Inspection Division of the, State Department of Agriculture. Giving the plan a quick once-over, we note the following highlights: The protection and the promotion of the agricultural interests of the state’ are the principal functions of the State Department of Agriculture and so in a vivid ‘manner the practical workings of these departments are shown: (1) Inspection of packing houses, warehouses, seed, hay, grain, public seales, nursery services and other vital commodities and fields; (2) Entomology: Boiled down to a few words, the work of this bureau insures oranges amd aipples, grapes and prunes, and the wide assortment of famed California fruits for you and for me—and for world millions. Insect eradication and control are of paramount importance, as you will agree after you inspect this astonishing exhibit; (8) Inspection of cattle, meat and milk, and cattle quarantine. We might go on, but these are the high spots and you’ll see all this and a lot more next February. Charles H. Purcell, executive officer of the California State Commission, in his. current report states that definite work on exhibits—the courts and interiors—is now well under way in: Alameda-Contra Costa building; Mission Trails building; Shasta-Cascade building; Natural Resources, in the State building. Possibly to be bracketed with the Department of Agriculture~~ display which we have covered, from the standpoint of activity—is the epochal scientific exhibit now being built by the University of California in the Palace of Science. Lacey Jones, University of California student, has returned to spend the holdiays with his mother in Nevada City.
