RALEIGH 27611
Dear State Fair Contestants:
On behalf of the State and the hundreds of thousands of North
Carolinians who will come to Raleigh to visit the State Fair, I want to thank
you for your participation in this 108th annual event.
Of course, some of the highlights each year are those products
on exhibit which are made right here in North Carolina. Each entry
represents outstanding interest and achievement in specialized areas.
The entries require a wide range of special talents, including
skill, craftsmanship, creativity and care. We in North Carolina have
every reason to be proud of our State Fair. It's success every year is
due, in large part, to the contributors, such as yourself.
Thanks, again, for sharing your talents by entering the compe-tition.
I wish you the very best of luck.
Sincerely,
Jam.es~"E. Holshouser, Jr.
JEHjr/cjv
Dear Fellow Tarheels:
As we begin our Bicentennial Celebration at the North Carolina State
Fair, I welcome you to what promises to be one of the best exhibitions
that will take place throughout the country. Yes, the 108th State Fair
will certainly be the one to remember!
"Salute to Agriculture" will be the theme for the 1975 State Fair. I
know of no greater tribute to our American heritage than to recognize
our basic requirements to sustain life in this great land and world.
In 1775 approximately 85% of the typical American family worked and
lived on a farm. In 1975 only about 5% of our people farm the land.
Yet agriculture employs four out of ten non-farm workers even today.
Ye6, agriculture is still America's strength!
Special emphasis at the North Carolina State Fair this year will be
placed on the Horse Industry, and turf from lawns to pasture will also
be featured. Gigantic geodetic domes near the Dorton Arena will pro-vide
a most unique setting for this worthwhile exhibit.
I invite you, fellow North Carolinians, to join me in making this State
Fair a must in our plans for 1975.
'ordially.

Information And General Rules
For Exhibitors And Patrons
Exhibitors and patrons are sincerely requested to make constinictive
criticisms and offer helpful suggestions toward bettering any part or depart-ment
of this, YOUR STATE FAIR.
Please report any discourtesies by gatemen, concessionaires, showmen,
or others connected with the Fair. If, for any reason, there is a misunder-standing
about admission at gates or elsewhere, please pay the admission
price asked, take a receipt for same, and come directly to the Manager's
office. Please do not block traffic and delay others by prolonged arguments
with ticket-sellei's, gatemen and ticket-takers who are working on strict
orders from the management and are not allowed to vary from them.
Concessions and attractions are granted privileges on the grounds to
supply the necessary wants, comforts, conveniences and pleasures of the
patrons. The management will not accept or knowingly allow the continuance
of any concession, show or other attraction of a questionable nature or a
demoarlizing tendency, nor will any concession be permitted where the busi-ness
is conducted in other than a legitimate and legal manner.
Drunkenness, quarreling, or the use of profane or obscene language will not
be allowed on the grounds. No begging will be pemiitted.
No peddling, hawking or selling of any kind will be allowed in the buildings
or on the grounds except by special license obtained from the Manager.
All dining halls, lunch stands, refreshment booths, and other places dis-pensing
food and beverage must be substantial in structure and neat in
appearance. They must meet all health regulations and must sell only good,
wholesome food and pure honest goods at reasonable prices which must be
approved by the Fair management and displayed in a prominent place. No
soft drinks may be sold in bottles.
Parties owning buildings upon the State Fair grounds must notify the
manager thirty (30) days prior to the opening of the Fair as to whether they
desire to occupy the same or not, and if so, make arrangements with the
superintendent of the department for such occupancy. Failure to comply with
the provisions of this nale will cause the forfeiture of the use of such building
or buildings by the Fair management.
Any party or parties, finri or corporation owning buildings or matei'ial
upon the State Fair gi'ounds without lease, or whose lease has expired, who
shall fail to remove same upon order of the manager within the time specified,
shall forfeit all claim thereto, and the Fair management may take charge of
and remove same, charging expense attached thereto to the owner or owners
thereof, which expense or claim must be paid before material is released to
the owner.
The management of the State Fair resei-ves the right to amend, add to
and interpret the foregoing and following Rules and Regulations, and to
arbitrarily settle and determine all questions and differences in regard
thereto, or otherwise arising out of, connected with, or incident to the Fair.
In the event of conflict between the General Rules and the special rules
which appear as headnotes of the various divisions and departments of the
Fair, the latter will take precedence.
Disregard of any rule, or misrepresentation on the part of the exhibitor,
concessionaire or patrons will forfeit all premiums won, privileges gi-anted,
fees paid, and rights to further participation in the Fair.
SERVICES
The Southern Bell Telephone Company will maintain complete service and
toll stations at convenient points on the FAIRGROUNDS.
An Infomiation Bureau and office for reporting and recovery of lost and
found articles will be maintained on the State Fairgrounds. This service is

Address System to locate "lost" persons except small children and in emer-gencies,
or where school bus drivei's and other group leaders desire to
announce departure times.
An office for the use and convenience of representatives of the Press, and
Radio and Television Stations, will be maintained with telephones, type-writers,
and other facilities. It will be a pleasure to supply authentic informa-tion
of news value about the Fair, including lists of premium awards. Arrange-ments

use of Press and Television services, exhibitors and patrons are requested
under no obligation to purchase pictures, but may arrange directly with the
photographerfor this service if they so desire.
The Fair will furnish free the original bedding for each stall and pen, but
exhibitors are required to care for and feed their own animals and they must
keep stall and pens clean and well bedded thereafter.

RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N. C. 27607 (Telephone: 832-7549).
ENTRIES
MAKE ALL ENTRIES EARLY!!! The right is reserved to reject any entry, and
all entries received after all space is taken must be rejected.
You will find the CLOSING DATES FOR ENTRIES set out in the Rules and
Regulations and the general headings of each of the various departments. These
dates VARY WITH THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE SPECIFIC DEPART-MENT.
Check these Closing Dates carefully.
SEPARATE ENTRY BLANKS are required for entries in each of the depart-ments.
Request the Entry Department supply you with an adequate number of
entry blanks.
Competition is OPEN TO THE WORLD in the Rabbit Department,
Poultiy Department, Dairy Cattle Department, Beef Cattle Breeding Animal

In all other divisions and departments competition is LIMITED TO
RESIDENTS OF NORTH CAROLINA. NO DEPARTMENT SUPERIN-TENDENT
OR DIRECTOR, OR MEMBERS OF THEIR IMMEDIATE
FAMILIES MAY ENTER EXHIBITS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DEPART-MENTS.
All entires (with exceptions noted in the Livestock Division for group
classes) must be made in the name of the owner, breeder, manufacturer,
grower, producer or one whose skill the exhibit represents. A firm, to be
entitled to exhibit as such, must have been organized not less than 30 days
prior to the closing date for entries, and such fimi must have been organized
as a bona fide firm for the purpose of producing, or buying and selling the
articles or animals it proposes to exhibit in the name of such firm. A firm
will be regarded as one exhibitor.
Official printed forms MUST BE USED in making applications for entry.
One will be found in the back of this book. USE A SEPARATE FORM FOR
ENTRIES IN EACH DEPARTMENT. Be sure to fill out the application
form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your i-ural route number, post
office box number, or city street address and zip code.
Additional application forms are available upon request to: MANAGER,
N. C. STATE FAIR, 1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N. C. 27607.
Incomplete entry forms will be i-eturned for correction if there is time to
do so, but REMEMBER: No article or animals will be entitled to exhibit
space until proper entry has been made, and no entiy will be accepted after
the closing date listed for the department.
11
Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly
classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entiy—in which
event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department
Superintendent or Director in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE
OF THE -ENTRY DIRECTOR." If the records are altered and do not
conform with the information on file in the Entiy Department, payment of
premiums will be withheld.
No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to
see the entires, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are
made.
The same article or animal cannot be entered for more than one premium
number (except as othei-wise stated in the Special Department Rules and
Regulations.). Collections and displays must be made up of specimens other
than those entered in single (individual) classes unless othei"wise noted.
Except for the Horse Show no entiy fees are required in any department,
except that livestock, poultry, and rabbit exhibitors must include payment
of stall, pen, and coop fees with their applications for entiy. (SEE HEAD-NOTES
OF THESE DEPARTMENTS FOR SCALE OF FEES.)
Application forms for entiy should be mailed to: MANAGER, N. C. STATE
FAIR, 1025 Blue Ridge Blvd., Raleigh, N. C. After October 6, 1975 the Entry
Department will be staffed to receive applications for entry in person.
Entiy Department will be open from October 6, until October 26, 8:00 A.M.-
5 P.M. except Sunday, October 12 from 1-5 P.M. The Sunday following the
fair the department will open ft-om 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS
The dates on which your exhibits must be in place at State Fair VARY FROM
ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER. These dates are set out in the Department
Headings and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can
get your exhibits IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be con-sidered
abandoned if not called for within one week after the official closing
of the Fair, and may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE
SPECIAL RULES for the Culinary and Horticulture Department.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair, on official
printed fomis provided for that purpose, before the closing date for entires
in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or con-sidered
in the judging until proper entry has been made. Removal of exhibits
before the date and time specified will be cause for forfeit of all premiums
won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation in the Fair.
In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place
through the entire fair. Release times are scheduled for the day following the
fair due to the lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or
exhibits, and in an effort to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded con-ditions.
The regulation will also assure those attending the fair during the
evening of the final day of seeing the same exhibits and entries as those attend-ing
earlier.
12
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper
department and class and exhibit tag with corresponding numbers will be
issued. This tag must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain
on the exhibit throughout the Fair (except that exhibit tags issued for live-stock
and poultry may be conspicuously displayed upon the stall, pen or
coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL NOT BE MAILED, but will be available at
the Entry Department, Administration Building.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the
Department Superintendent or Director, who will allocate space and either
personally arrange the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display, or direct
such action by the exhibitor.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and
enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of the annual exposition.
However, exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: MANAGER, N. C. STATE
FAIR, 1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N. C. 27607, and they will be
cai'efully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the
same manner as previously described. They will be given the same considera-tion
with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation
charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair.
Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and
properly identified inside and outside the package as to the department,
class and premium number under which they have been previously entered.
They should be shipped or mailed at least a week or 10 days pnor to the
opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for delayed
shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
All carload shipments by freight, for exhibition pui'poses, should be billed
as follows: FOR EXHIBIT, N. C. STATE FAIR, CAMP POLK, N. C., c/o
S.C.L. RAILWAY. Exhibits so billed will be delivered to the Fairgrounds
without extra switching charges. Attention of exhibitors is called to tariff
rules, governing the shipment of certain types of articles for exhibition at
expositions and fairs, and providing for free return of such exhibits when
accompanied by a certificate from the Manager of the Fair certifying that
such shipment was on exhibition and ownership of same has not changed.
Intending exhibitors should consult their local ft-eight agent for particulars
governing Fair shipments, as some types of exhibit material are not returned
free and other conditions enter in if shipment is not returned direct. If your
local agent is not able to give you full particulars, wi'ite the Manager of the
State Fair.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority
over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits which
are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, subject to use
as these Directors and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational
values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or which will follow,
must participate in parades and group exhibitions as directed by the Depai't-ment
Supei-intendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the
Junior Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and pens will be
furnished bedding before the Fair, free of charge. Thei-eafter exhibitors will
be requii-ed to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean.
Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
13
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article
entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given the exhibitor to serve
as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim
checks should be guarded carefully, since Department Superintendents and
Directors are not allowed to i-elease any exhibit without presentation of the
exhibit tag stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported
promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Director
of the Enti-y Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within
one week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been aban-doned
by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair
sees fit. Other exhibits, and materials therein, including concession booths,
which are not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after
the end of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned and will
become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does
not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and
the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed
objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted condi-tionally,
pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any
article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will
be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the
Fair will be denied.
Division Directors, Depariment Superintendents, andjor Judges must re-port
disqualification of entnes to the Manager or Administrative Officer of
the State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUM-STANCES
WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND PRE-MIUMS
PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOM-MENDED
UNTIL APPROVAL OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS
OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER OR ADMINISTRATIVE
OFFICER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitoi-s may advertise
and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only,
but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a
permit from the manager. The distribution of advertising matter which
conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is pro-hibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping
the space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and
roadways, clean and free of i-ubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit
booth and concession stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or
concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for
cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sub-let without permission of
the Fair manager.
Exhibitors and Department Superintendents and Directors may have the
exclusive use of the lawn in front of the Educational and Commercial exhibit
building for parking until midnight, Thursday, October 16, 1975. Special
parking facilities for the Livestock and Poultiy Division will be provided at
the west end of the Fairgrounds.
14
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except
in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of
the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent
not later than noon of the day following the award, and must be accompanied
by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is
not sustained. The Division Superintendent will appoint a committee to con-sider
the protest and all interested pailies will be notified of the time of the
hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The nales of the
International Association of Fairs and Expositions governing appeals will
be those of the North Carolina Fair.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its
mere pi'esence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the
Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute pre-miums
equally among exhibitoi-s. No premium will be awarded to any exhibit
that does not possess high inti'insic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE
INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN
ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except
such attendants as are necessaiy to handle and show livestock and other
such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during
their adjudications, or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision
of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums
previously won will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to bi'eeding, or in any other form, will be exposed
and the exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from further partici-pation
in the Fair, and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging
reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superin-tendent
or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon
which they were awarded, if possible, but the nbbons have no value in the
payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way
on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department
Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE
IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DIRECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries
are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entiy department files are
not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded
premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that
does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are
made as it is possible to compile and check all reports. Premiums not
collected during the Fair will be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office
15
address given on his or her entiy form. Errors in premium statements will be
corrected until December 1, 1975, after which time the books of the 1975
Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:
Champion Royal Purple
Reserve Champion Lavender
First Premium Blue
Second Premium Red
Third Premium White
Fourth Premium Pink
Fifth Premium Yellow
Sixth Premium Dark Green
Seventh Premium Light Green
Eighth Premium Tan

JUDGES:
The judges will be selected by the committee.
A feature series of exhibits at the North Carolina State Fair are the eight
Community Exhibits developed by communities that have conducted a success-ful
local improvement program.
The N. C. Board of Farm Organizations and Agencies sponsoi's these
exhibits. They have invited eight communities to arrange and present an
exhibit illustrating certain phases of their community progi'ams as a means
of inspiring and motivating other communities to take action.
To recognize and at the same time encourage the communities selected
to continue to strengthen their total community programs, the State Fair
offers the following cash awards to the eight communities putting on
exhibits:
19
First
$650
PREMIUMS

hour.
SPECIAL NOTE: It is suggested that in hardening your flowers for exhibit
that they BE CUT EARLY IN THE MORNING and PLACED IN WARM WATER
(120 to 140 degrees). TO KEEP THEM OVERNIGHT they should be kept in
a COOL PLACE. If available, cut flowers should be kept in a COOLER at
ABOUT 40 DEGREES.

will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations will govern all entries and

substandard exhibits will not be placed.

Proper attention will be given and every effort will be made to
prevent theft or damage, but the North Carolina State Fair or the Show
Superintendent assumes NO responsibility for loss of personal property of the
exhibitors. Dead flowei*s will be removed and the ribbons held in the Depart-ment.

SPECIAL NOTE!!
Because of the extended duration of the N. C. State Fair it is assumed that
most, if not all, apples will be out of condition by the end of the Fair. The
Superintendent in charge of the fruit exhibit shall determine the method of
distribution and any money received from the salvage of the apple exhibit
will be divided according to the volume sold from each county exhibit and that

Rules and Regulations
Except in cases of conflict, in which event the following Rules and Regu-lations
will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations of the Fair will
govern this department. BE SURE TO READ THESE IN THE FRONT
OF THIS BOOK BEFORE ENTERING OR COMPETING IN THIS DE -
36
PARTMENT. Some��but not all—are repeated herewith for emphasis, and
others of the following Rules and Regulations apply only to this department.
MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY! The right is reserved to reject entries
i-eceived after all available space is taken.
Official printed forms must be used in making applications for entry. One
will be found in the back of this book. Additional copies are available upon
request. Use separate foiTns for entries in EACH CLASS—"1" Fruits and
Nuts, and "2 and 3" Vegetables, of this department, and separate forms for
entries in each other department of the Fair. Be sure to fill in the application
form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post
office box number, or city street address and zip code.
List the Department Letter "G" for Horticulture and the Class Number
"1" for Fruits or Nuts, and "2 and 3" for vegetables, for which each entry
is made. Also, list the premium number and the description of the article,
exactly as shown in the Premium List.
Entry Tags should be picked up at the Entry Department immediately
upon arrival on the Fairgrounds. An Entry Tag must be attached to each
exhibit before it is presented in the Department for display.
As? far as possible, it is urged that all Horticultural Products be brought in
and set up by the exhibitor. Where it is not possible, shipments should be
made in time to reach the Fairgrounds no later than Wednesday, October 15,
and should be addressed to: Superintendent, Horticulture Department, N. C.
State Fair, 1025 Blue Ridge Blvd., Raleigh, N. C. 27607.
Where it is not possible to personally bring the products to the Fair and
arrange them, the Superintendents will be glad to arrange the products in
the most attractive manner possible. However, they will not pack box or
basket entries for exhibit. Exhibits mailed or shipped to the Fair should be
carefully labeled to show the name and address of the exhibitor, and the
nature, and class in which entered, of the contents of the package.
The State Fair will furnish, PLATES, QUART AND PINT CONTAIN-ERS,
CORRUGATED CARTONS FOR SWEET POTATOES, AND TRAYS
for exhibits, but no other containers. The number of specimens for each
PLATE display is specified in the premium list. Standard size tray, IIV2
X 18 inches inside measurements, and 3 inches deep, will he used. Exhibitors
should make a tray of the required dimensions and pack the exhibit to
determine the number of specimens required. At least one extra specimen
for each plate, and three or four extra specimens for each tray, should be
brought or shipped to the Fair to allow for possible damage in transit.
To insure uniformity in exhibit material and to facilitate judging, the
following sizes for apple varieties will be recognized:
Variety Diameter
Arkansas 3 to SV2 inches
Bonum 2% to 3 inches
Delicious and named bud sports 2% to SV4 inches
Grimes 2% to 3Vi inches
Jonathan 2% to 3 inches
Golden Delicious 2% to 3V4 inches
Rome and named bud sports 3 to 3V2 inches
Stayman and named bud sports 3 to 3% inches
37
Winesap 2% to 3 inches

Fruits and vegetables to be exhibited in plates and trays should be care-fully
wrapped and packed for shipment to the Fair. Wrap separately in
paper and pack firmly in a box, taking care to avoid bruising. Label each
variety plainly and put in dividers to keep varieties separated. Do not use
hay, fodder, excelsior or any other dusty packing material. Any exhibit that
rots, is unsightly or becomes unsightly will be removed from display (after
judging) at the discretion of the superintendent.
Quality—Not Quantity
In selecting Horticultural products for exhibit, choose only those speci-mens
that are of uniformly good quality, form and color, true to type, and
free from all insect and disease blemishes, and free from cuts and bruises.
Premiums offered for the best collection of fruits or vegetables will not be
awarded for a mere pile or for the greatest number of varieties, BUT
MAINLY ON THE BASIS OF QUALITY. Do not knock or shake fruit
from the tree, but pick each specimen by hand, taking care not to pull out
the stem. Products should be exhibited as nearly as possible in their natural
state, and no preference will be given in the judging for highly polished
fruits or vegetables.
Entries of Commercial containers of apples and sweet potatoes should be
graded to uniform marketable size, high color, smoothness, trueness to type,
freedom from cuts and bruises, and free from insect and fungus blemishes.
They should be properly packed and faced in standard containers.
Entries of "Collections" and under "Any Other Variety" must be correctly
named by the exhibitor. In the nomenclature of fruits, the names adopted
by the American Pomological Society shall rule, and no variety will be
accepted that has not been admitted to their catalogue, except in the case of
seedlings never before exhibited.
Awards and Judging
No awards will be made for unworthy specimens, where quality is lacking,
or where any of the Rules and Regulations governing these exhibits are
disregarded.
No article entered for competition in any class will be permitted to compete
for a premium in any other class. AN EXHIBITOR CANNOT COMPETE
FOR MORE THAN ONE PRIZE IN ANY CLASS.
No exhibitor will be allowed to discuss exhibits with the judges, or to
interfere in any way while the judges are at work.

TURF
In 1971 the North Carolina State Fair eliminated competition in the field
crops division and began to highlight one crop per year. In 1971, it was soy-beans,
1972 it was peanuts, 1973 it was com, 1974 was cotton and in 1975
it will be a tuif exhibit featuring all phases of turf including lawns, recreation
areas, roadside, buildings and golf courses. The exhibit will be housed in an
80 foot geodesic dome near Doiton Arena. It will be a combined effort involv-ing
the N. C. State University, the N. C. Department of Agriculture and many
individuals, associations and fiiTns involved with turf.

signs of infectious or communicable diseases during the show will be
placed in isolation and shall not be removed for purpose of exhibiting.
Boxes used in transporting live rabbits to the Fair will not be allowed to
remain inside the exhibit building during the Fair. They may be brought into
the building in order to place the rabbits on exhibition, and again to pick up
the rabbits at the end of the show.

All poultry exhibited at the North Carolina State Fair shall have been in
the possession of the exhibitor for sixty days or more prior to the date of the
Fair. Exhibitors will fill out the "Poulti-y Exhibitor Certificate" in the back
of this book.
All chickens and turkeys for exhibition at the Fair will originate from U.S.

than one year before the show. VENT VACCINE MUST NOT BE USED.
66
All birds must be identified with tamper-proof bands. Bands placed on birds

swads) by a representative of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture.
Birds will not be accepted which are infected with or showing any clinical
signs of an infectious or communicable disease, or are infested with lice
and/or mites.
Coops used in transporting live birds to the Fair shall not be allowed inside
the exhibit building.
Out-of-state birds will be admitted provided a permit has been obtained

All of the above requirements must be satisfied before this perniit will
be issued.
Exhibits and Exhibitors
Only vehicles operated by the fair management will be allowed in the barn area
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. after entry time.
The Fair management will use diligence to insure the safety of livestock
entered for exhibition of display, but under no circumstances will it be re-sponsible
for loss, injury, theft or damage by fire, lightning, wind, or any
other agency, to such livestock on exhibition or display.
All livestock on exhibition must be cared for by the exhibitor (except
entries in Special Junior Dairy Cattle Exhibits.) All stalls and pens (except
entries in Special Junior Dairy Cattle Exhibits.) will be well bedded one
time by the Fair, free of charge. Thei^after, exhibitoi-s will be required to
furnish their own bedding.
The Fair resei-ves the right to discriminate against both excessive obesity,
which cannot be a profitable condition for breeding animals, and excessive
leanness, in which condition animals are unfit for exhibition.
No barren animals will be eligible in breeding classes. An affidavit that
an animal is a breeder must be furnished on request.
All cattle must be halter-broken. No dairy bull over one year of age will
be allowed on the grounds without a ring in his nose and must not be led
from his stall except by a staff, rope or chain attached to or leading through
the ring. Boars over one year of age must have their tusks removed.
Exhibitors must keep their animals uncovered between the hours of 9:00
a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day of the Fair. Premium money will be withheld
from exhibitors violating this rule, except in case of sickness of animals or
inclement weather, and then only on authorization of the Superintendent.
A great educational feature of the Fair is the exhibitions and parades of
approved livestock by breeds and ages. Exhibitors refusing for any cause
not meeting with the approval of the management to lead out animals for
parade will not only forfeit all premiums won, but will be barred from
further participation in the Fair, and will be required to remove their stock
from the Fairgrounds within six hours after such refusal, and will forfeit any
fees paid.
Misrepresentation as to breeding and irregularity in showing will be
exposed and any premium won by such exhibitor will be withheld. Certificates
of registration must be shown on demand of the Livestock Superintendent.
Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or con-
67
formation in exhibition animals, such as lifting or filling under the skin,
will be considered fraud and deception. All animals giving evidence of such
treatment will be barred from exhibition at this Fair, and at all Fairs holding
membership in the International Association of Fairs and Expositions.
Exhibitors must keep the space in the rear of their stalls or pens, and
the alleyways in the exhibition halls, clear and clean. All litter must be
deposited where directed by the Superintendent or Directors.
Animals must be transported to and from the Fairgrounds at the expense
of the exhibitor. The Fair management will not pay any charges for express,
freight or drayage. To avoid switching charges and delay, rail shipments
should be billed as follows: "For Exhibit, N. C. State Fair, Camp Polk, N.C.
c/o Seaboard Air Line Railroad." Shipments via express or motor transport
should be addressed to the exhibitor, or to: Livestock Superintendent, N. C.
State Fair, Raleigh, N. C.
Exhibitors are responsible for ascertaining when their stock will be judged.
Animals must be in the show ring promptly after being called. Exhibitors
failing to comply with this rule may have their animals excluded from
competition.
Judges and Awards
NO EXHIBITOR MAY RECEIVE MORE THAN TWO PREMIUM
MONEYS IN ANY ONE CLASS. However, ribbons will be awarded exactly
as the animals are placed by the judge. EXAMPLE: An exhibitor makes three
entries in a class, and his animals place "First," "Second" and "Third." He
would receive only the first and second premium moneys, but all three
ribbons. Then, the owner of the animal placing "Fourth" would receive the
third-place premium money and the fourth-place ribbon; and so on down
the line.
The decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered
except in case of protest. The rules of the International Association of Fairs
and Expositions govern appeals at the North Carolina State Fair. Protests
must be in writing and filed with the General Livestock Superintendent by
noon of the day following the award, accompanied by a protest fee of $5.00
which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is not sustained by an
impartial Protest Committee appointed by the General Livestock Superin-tendent.
No unworthy animal will be awarded a premium. Where there are fewer
animals shown in the class than the number of premiums offered, the judge
may, at his discretion, award a prize or prizes of such grade as the animal
or animals deserve.
Where there is only one entry in a class, second premium will be awarded
unless in the opinion of the judge the animal is sufficiently meritorious
as to justify the full award as provided for.
Herdsmen's Contests
Special prizes will be awarded in contests for herdsmen, shepherds and
caretakers of animals in all livestock departments. All herdsmen will auto-matically
be considered entrants and no special entry is required.
68
The contests will start at a time designated by each Department.
The following score card will serve as the basis for the judges in the
Herdsmen's contest making their decisions:

Condition and cleanliness of herd or flock 20
Neatness and cleanliness of herdsmen and helpers 10
Courtesy and deportment of herdsmen and helpers 8

In making awards in the breeding classes, the judge will lay much stress
on the evidence of superior breeding qualities. When animals show evidence
of being "overdone" (overloaded with flesh) they will be discriminated
against accordingly.

THE PUREBRED DAIRY CATTLE ASSOCIATION
Show Ring Code of Ethics
The showing of registered daiiy cattle is an important part of the promo-tion,
merchandising and breeding program of many breeders. Additionally,
it is an important part of the program of The Purebred Daily Cattle Asso-ciation
to stimulate and sustain interest in breeding registered dairy cattle.
This relates to both spectators and exhibitors. In this connection, the PDCA
believes that it is in the best interests of the breeders of registered dairy
cattle to maintain a reputation of integrity and to present a wholesome and
progressive image of their cattle in the show ring. It recognizes that there
are certain practices in the proper care and management of dairy cattle,
which ai-e necessaiy in the course of moving daiiy cattle to and between
shows that are advisable to keep them in a sound, healthy condition so that
they might be presented in the show ring in a natural, normal appearance
and condition. Conversely, it recognizes certain practices in the cataloging,
