After the supper the delegates will be escorted through the exposition. projected excursion to Las Cruces has been called off owing to the bad condition of the roads in the valley due to the heavj rains.

No special entertainments have been arranged for Sunday beyond the exposition itself and its various activ- i i es. grounds and buildings have graphically described. Yet, even all has been said and all has been written, there is but one way to ap- i preciate the enormous collection of wonderful products of the 1 that is to see it. From the hour that the doors of the exposition arc thrown open tonight until midnight of Tuesday, October 24. the congresses and the exposition will i tion, present a constant procession of celeb- rities, and a arefully devised program, of interest alike to the farmer and the i city dweller, which will fill the days and nights to overlowing.

To Tench All About Crops. exposition was created to show I the world how to raise crops; how to harvest them, to store them, to market them: how to raise cattle and other livestock, and how to market them: to show the world tue last word in farm machinery; in farm implements, and automobiles: to display the world- produets of scientific agriculture; in a word, to teach the world effective and profitable farming. These are the objects of the exposition which opens its gates to the world tonight. Thousand at ork. More than a thousand persons are working in the buildings and grounds of the exposition this afternoon, installing world-wonders of agriculture and its branches, that they may be ready for the spectator when the gates are opened tonight.

Friday but a few of the exhibits had been installed. During the night hundreds of bare booths have been transformed into startling examples of the progress of man in agriculture, stock raising', mining and the other industries. Buildings of solid masonry have sprung from the solid pavement; tons upon tons of the most precious ores which have ever been unlocked by man from the depths of the earth have appeared of a sudden; grains which have been blown by the winds of South America, of Australia, of Canada, and of all parts of the earth are waving in sheaves beneath the pergolas of the exposition buildings: and graphic displays of the products and workings of the industries of El Paso and the southwest, more elaborate than ever have been prepared here before, have appeared, complete in the passing of a single night. Number Underestimated. With the closing hours of preparation.

it has been found that the number of exhibits has been underestimated. and that more room will be needed. More than 500 individual entries of grains, fruits, and other farm products had been made at an early hour this morning, and many, many more are expected before the entries close. This exceeds the estimates by far, and shows that farreaching interest in the exposition has been created throughout the United States. The space in the counties building to be devoted to individual exhibits may have to be enlarged Sunday to accommodate all the entries.

Local 1)1 Come In. A number of local industrial and commercial displays have come in at the last moment, and it is feared by B. K. llanafourde, director of the exposition, that a number of requests for space from local merchants will have to be refused. A few days ago it waS believed that not be filled.

In the building, many of the displays were installed Saturday morning, and all are expected to be ready several hours before the exposition opens tonight. The El Paso county exhibit, with some of the finest grains and fruits in the southwest, in charge of county farm demonstrator A. G. Graham, was virtually complete this morning, and lacked but a few finishing touches to place it in readiness for the eyes of the world. The United States Indian exhibit was being installed this morning, and will be complete tonight.

It is the single display in this building. FTealth Exhibit Assembled. The New Mexico health exhibit was started this morning, and will be assembled at an early hour this afternoon, according to director Carl Hinton. The booth of the Potter Floral corn- been i pany has been encased completely in after plate glass, and the first floral exhibit will be placed within it this afternoon. The Popular Dry Goods display also is encased in glass, and the scenic background had been installed.

The local fire station display was complete to the last detail early today. In The Patio, the big amusement sec- all the amusement tents and booths have been installed, and each will be ready for the opening tonight. Western Displays Ready. In the International, Interstate, and Varied Industries building, the experiment station exhibits from various estern states are already complete. The mineral exhibits are well on the way to completion, and most of the state displays have been installed.

The industrial exhibits in the center of the building will be complete tonight. In the Motor Car and Accessory' building, the finest products of the automobile factories are being installed. The outdoor farm machinery displays are being moved in. Government Exhibit In. The government display, in the Tri- State Motor Co.
