ilk industry, valued at $400;
wheat, oats, field peas of seventy-odd varieties, rye, rice, barley,
flour, bran, peanuts, pecan nuts, corn meal, and all of the varied
agricultural exhibits. These were donated by farmers of Georgia. The
freight, installation, and care of them was provided by public
subscription. The cost of installation, freights, and care, including
the proper show cases and glass containers, which belonged to the State
museum, was estimated, in addition to the amounts enumerated above, at
$12,000. Besides the above items, nearly every city of importance made
appropriations to cover expenses of having prepared for distribution
books and pamphlets calling the attention of the public to the many
advantages of their several localities, at an estimated cost of $10,000.

Subsequently the Georgia commission to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
donated the entire furnishings of the State building to the Georgia
Industrial Home at Macon, Ga., the only nonsectarian orphanage in the
State.

The resolution creating the appropriation for the installation and
exhibit of Georgia products, which was approved August 17, 1903,
provided--

That the sum of thirty thousand dollars should be appropriated,
to be expended in collecting and permanently preserving
specimens of minerals, granite, clays, kaolin, marble, iron, and
such other minerals and precious stones as may abound in or are
found within the State; to further collect specimens of the
field and forest, mills and mines, orchards and vineyards of
this State, and such other matters and things pertaining to the
character and the productiveness of the soils of Georgia; that
when the specimens aforesaid were collected they should be
deposited in the State museum, there to be safely kept and
displayed; and that the exhibit thus collected should be
displayed at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis,
Missouri.
