The exhibit of Georgia in the Agriculture Building will be one of the most comprehensive in the list of State exhibits. It is designed as an illustration of what is possible on a Georgia farm. Though there are over 100 kinds of the different grains and wheats shown in the space allotted to the Empire State of the South, every one of the samples was grown on the same farm. In fact, the entire Georgia exhibit is the product of one 25-acre farm at Mariette, Ga., owned and operated by John A. Mangets, a descendant of the Hugenots. A similar exhibit, from the same farm, won the gold medal at the Omaha Exposition.

G. F. Green of the Land and Industrial Department of the Southern railway is at present engaged in installing the Georgia exhibit. He will have it completely in place before the end of the week. Georgia also has a very extensive exhibit in the Mines building. Owing to some peculiar construction of the State law, no State money was available for the Georgia exhibit, and the representation she has at the Pan-American was made possible by private enterprise. This makes her showing all the more creditable.
