and the heaviest wheat
from elsewhere was that of the Argentine Republic, which weighed 64 1/2
pounds per bushel. Wyoming oats weighed 48 pounds per bushel, and the
heaviest oats from elsewhere were those from New Zealand, which weighed
46 1/2, and those from Idaho, weighing 46 pounds. Wyoming hulless barley
weighed 56 pounds, while the standard is 48 pounds per bushel.

On all these products, as well as Wyoming grown alfalfa, Wyoming was
awarded grand prizes.

The exhibit of Wyoming forestry products, which was prepared under the
direction of Mr. John H. Gordon, showed a number of trees from 5 to 7
feet in diameter, and a variety of over 40 woods found in the State.
Owing to the great expense and disadvantage under which such a
collection must necessarily be made, it was impossible to reach every
section of the State and secure samples of the different woods, but this
was done wherever it was found to be possible, and an effort was made to
secure samples of all the woods of the State.

A beautiful table manufactured by Mr. Gordon, made of over 35 varieties
of these woods, was a work of art and attracted more attention and
favorable comment than anyone thing shown in the exhibit.

The exhibit of Wyoming grown fruits from Fremont county, as well as the
fruits grown in Laramie County, were especially praiseworthy.

The educational exhibit, which was prepared and collected under the
direction of the superintendent of public instruction, T.T.T. Tynan,
consisted largely in showing pictures of school buildings of the State
and the school work of many of the pupils. Although only a small sum was
available for this purpose, the exhibit was quite complete and made a
very creditable showing.

The commission printed and distributed over 500,000 pamphlets giving
information on the resources of Wyoming, and this was supplemented by a
large amount of literature which was received for distribution from
other sources.

Wyoming exhibitors received 125 awards in the two departments of Mines
and Agriculture, where the Wyoming exhibits were shown, and the grand
prizes awarded Wyoming grown grains were the results of actual tests by
weight for the excellent quantity and size of the grain. Credit must be
given Prof. B.C. Buffum, of the State University, for his thorough work
in the preparation of these exhibits.

The Wyoming Commission closed up its affairs February 1, 1905, showing
that its entire expenditures for all purposes was
