After Washington's Smithsonian Institution agreed to schedule and route the exhibit, museums in Kansas City, Detroit, New York, Toronto, Dallas and Los Angeles signed up.

Fertilizers for Ivan? Neuburger first got the idea for a trade fair in Moscow when he attended Moscow's Agricultural Exhibition in 1954, noted how thousands of Russians flocked in to view dull farm machinery and farm produce.
