This is surrounded by a flowered wreath and acanthus arabesques. In this building are 60,000 square feet of exhibit space, besides the galleries. In the Agriculture building the big gallery is devoted to the educational exhibits, such as displays from the public schools of the State of Washington, the universities, the State Agricultural College at Pullman, the handiwork of the women of the state and exhibits from the industrial schools. Machinery used in manual training institutions are seen in operation. Correspondence schools also have an exhibit. The resources of the state by counties are shown In this building and methods used in the canning of fruits and vegetables are seen in a model cannery in operation. Everything from the raw material to the product ready for canning is shown. The bottling of beer by sanitary methods is shown in this building, as well as modern methods used in the making of fine syrups. Among the exhibits are the resources tributary to the transcontinental railroads entering Seattle. Motion pictures are used to a great extent. There are fine displays of fruits and vegetables and daily demonstrations of all the leading food products." Recipient: "Miss C.
