WHEN the farmers of Amer- iea come to the World' s Fair in New York during the week of 'August - . 12 , which has i heen designated as \Farm . Week at the Fair , \ one of the ; chief centers- of interest and activity will be the popular General Motors Highways and Horizon s exhibit. This exhibit houses the iipw-famous Futu- . rama and a variety of other displays , many of which show the - important role played by the farmer in the national welfare of our country. ¦ • ' ; Visited by more than 13 , 000 , 000 persons during the Fair last yea r . and again playing host to capac- ity crowds of daily visitors , the GM Fair show has carried the message of the farmer ' s role in the scheme of American living to per- sons from all sections of the world. During \Farm Week\ the entire personnel of the GM build - ing will be on hand to .greet and (meet personally as many as pos- sible of the thousands of rural guests , expected to visit the Fair at that time , according to A, J. : Schamehorn , gen eral manager of the exhibit; ; \One of . the most important themes of our entire exhibit is the I dramatization of the inter-depen- dence of the farmer and industry, \ ' Mr. Schamehorn said . \Every year millions of dollars worth of raw , materials from the farm are used in the.manufacture of motor- cars. The profit to the farmer from the purchase of these ma- terials enables him to buy 'fa rm products ' in return—not raw farm products , but manufactured and processe d materials from the farm which have been made up into a myriad of conveniences and necessities contributing. to better living : for the farmer and his tamily. \ - A section of thtf model experimental farm and dairy, above , one of the highlights of the famous GM Futurama at the Fair. Below , Ernest Foss , commentator at the science show , GM Previews of Progress , shows a variety of useful , new plastics made from farm products. \ .-Mr, Schamehorn said he be- lieved \Farm Week\ visitors to the GM exhibit would be particu- larly interested in the great amount of attention devoted in the Futurama to \ the improve- men t of transportation facilities in rural areas , and tb the . ad- vancement in farm methods. \Naturally we do not know that all of the things shown in the Futurama will be worked out exactly as they are shown , \ Mr. Schamehorn explained , \bu t we do feel that a great interest has been aroused in rural problems and possible improvements through the tremendous cross-sec- tion of people who have viewed the Futurama since the Fair open- ing last year. \ More than 100 new farm units we re added to the Futurama this year—new homes , barns , sheds , livestock and rural villages. A highligh t of the Futurama tour is a spectacular model' experimental . farm and dairy . Here fruit trees bear abundantly wider Individ- usal glass housings. There is a modernistic chemical plant where plant-food chemicals are pumped through distributing trou ghs to trees and fields. In the world 20 years hence , the Futurama shows how farm products may be moved swiftly to outlying markets. Farm families are given new access to town and city conveniences made possible by high way engineerin g and the application of scientific research. In the popular science stage show , Previews of Progress , pre- sen ted hourly in the GM Audi- . torium, \Farm Week \ visitors will see and hear how new plastics arc . being made from farm products. Although no' mere stunt show, this feature of the exhibit rivals anything on the midway for sheer entertainment.
