In addition to the branch pavilions, there will be 50 zonal pavilions showing agriculture in the various regions. A trip through these will be a sort of tour of the country.
Each zone pavilion will give the visitor a picture of the distinguishing features and achievements of the respective province or republic. At the pavilion of the Ukrainian S.S.R., for example, the visitor will learn of the flourishing collective farms of that republic.
The unprecedented economic and cultural development of the national republics, which were formerly the backward colonies of tsarism, will be demonstrated at the pavilions of the Turkmenian, Tajik, Uzbek and other Central Asian republics.
Altai and Krasnoyarsk territories, as well as Novosibirsk, Omsk and Chelyabinsk pro- d vinces will be represented in the Siberian pavilion.
In addition to being the second coal and iron base in the country, Siberia is the eastern granary of the U.S.S.R., a territory of large dairy collective farms and a well developed livestock industry. These features of Siberian industry and agriculture are artistically reflected in sculptures at the entrance to the pavilion and on its portal.
Potatoes of enormous size, the exhibits of the Stakhanovites A. E. Karatayeva and Yutkina, who gathered a harvest of 90 tons of potatoes to the hectare, will be displayed in the Novosibirsk section (a hectare equals 2.47 acres).
The hall of Omsk Province will have splendid samples of carving on mammoths* tusks.
