The first exposition of conservation and its builders; an official history of the National conservation exposition, held at Knoxville, Tenn., in 1913 and of its forerunners, the Appalachian expositions of 1910-11, embracing a review of the conservation movement in the United States from its inception to the present time . t the man-agement re(|uire(l to cment in a wa_\- thatwill make these resources permanent sources of wealth. The exhibit from the V. S. (geological Surx-ey was housed in the MineralsI-mlding, an<l embraced a comi)rehensive disjjlay of minerals found in this country,and esi)ecially in the Southern AppaLachian region; also the estimated (|uantitiesof ore, their c|uality and values. The exhibit strongly emphasized the conserva-tion idea. Scattered through the go\ernment exhibit were many verses and mottoes, ap-pealing tor the conservation of the natural resources of the country, ?ft is a debtone generation owes to all succeeding generations to conser\e the minerals andtimberlands, and pre\-ent the destruction or wasteful utilization of such resources,ap])eared on one placard. These sentences and mottoes were in themselves excellentlectures on R. F. Graf & Sons.
