Exhibits of farm products, displays of fruits of the orchards and vineyards, practical talks by practical men have brought about this result to a large extent Entertainment and Benefit. The Kansas City Land Show is to be far beyond that of an entertaining show, or the medium of a market for the sale of lands, or of a mere collection of the best products of the west Through its lecture rooms and displays it will illustrate the benefits of the "back to the soil" movement and prove a great object fesson of the best methods of agriculture of today.
