Iowa Demograph Exhibit Illuminates Population and Farming
The Equita Demograph at the World's Fair uses a 45 foot illuminated map and a six foot tall counter to show Iowa’s population growth and age structure. It notes 2.7 million residents, 12 percent aged 65 or older, and that Iowa provides 10 percent of the nation’s food with 95 percent of land in farmland. The display, based on U S Census data, compares 1915 to the current era and highlights meat packing as a leading industry.
