Zack Long STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE 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. James A.

Chambers, Superintendent 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 free and will be cheerfully given. Please do not ask for the use of the Public 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 may be made in advance for special Press, Radio and Television coverage of the Fair by competent trained personnel. The American Red Cross will maintain an emergency hospital and first aid station at the Lounge, with trained attendants in charge at all times. Adequate toilet facilities for men and women are maintained throughout the grounds. ATTENDANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHARGE FOR USE OF THESE FACILITIES. In order for the State Fair to maintain a complete file of pictures for the 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. The State Fair will employ police, guards and traffic directors, and will use diligence to promote safety and protection of patrons, and their exhibits and property on the Fairgrounds. But, under no circumstances will the Fair or any of its officers and employees be responsible for loss or damage to persons and their property (including entries, exhibits, automobiles in park-ing lots, and articles left in cars) because of accidents, theft, fire, the elements, or other conditions. Articles and animals shipped or mailed to the Fair for exhibit will be accepted only if ALL CHARGES ARE PREPAID. Be sure packages mailed or shipped are properly addressed in accordance with instructions for ship-ment listed later in this section under "Exhibits and Exhibitors." INCOMING MAIL and parcels addressed to exhibitors, patrons, conces-sionaires and others connected with or attending the Fair should be called for at the Information office.

C. STATE FAIR, 1025 BLUE 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 Department, in the Swine and Sheep Departments and the Horse Show. Poultry entering the State for Exhibition shall be accompanied by a peiTnit from the State Veterinarian of North Carolina or his authorized representa-tive. 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 Ninth Premium Gray Tenth Premium, and above Light Blue 16 Division I GENERAL EXHIBITS STATE FAIR SALUTES . .

ENTRIES: Please note entry dates as specified in each Division. Where made by mail, Advance Entries should be MADE EARLY.

You are permitted to drive on the grounds only to unload your flowers. RELEASE OF EXHIBITS: They must be picked up on Sunday, Oct. 26th between 8:00 and 4 P.M., and EXHIBITS NOT CLAIMED will be considered abandoned and the State Fair will not be in any way responsible for them after that date and hour.

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. RULES AND REGULATIONS Except in cases of conflict, in which the following Rules and Regulations will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations will govern all entries and competitions in this department. MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY! The right is resei-ved to reject entries received after available space is taken. All plant material exhibited in specimen classes MUST be GROWN by the exhibitor. 27 Unsightly exhibits may be removed at discretion of the superintendent. Where there are fewer entries than required to fill a class, the judges may award a prize of such rank as the exhibit deserves. Unworthy and/or substandard exhibits will not be placed. All exhibits will be under the supervision and care of the Show Superin-tendent. 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.

Exhibits (except apples—see Special Note below) unclaimed by 5:00 p.m. October 26 will be considered abandoned and the Fair will not be responsible for them after that time. 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 amount will be sent to the respective county 4-H fund for use in 4-H work involving apples. 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 York and named bud sports SVs 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.

Rabbits develop-ing 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. Poultry 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. Pullonim-Typhoid Clean or equivalent flocks or have a negative pullorum-typhoid test within 90 days (30 days for out-of-state birds) of admission to the Fair, or (for North Carolina birds) the test requirements may be satisfied by a negative test conducted by an official state tester at the time the birds are brought to the Fair.

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 from the State Veterinarian of North Carolina or his authorized representa-tive. 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: Points Condition and cleanliness of herd or flock 20 Neatness and cleanliness of herdsmen and helpers 10 Courtesy and deportment of herdsmen and helpers 8 Method of keeping feed and bunks 10 Cleanliness of stalls or pens 10 Cleanliness of alleys 10 Decoration and attractiveness of bams 6 Promptness in getting animals into and out of show ring 12 Expertness evidenced in showing livestock 10 Cooperation in case of emergencies 4 100 69 DAIRY CATTLE DEPARTMENT "J" SUPERINTENDENT: WES HART Route 4, Box 359, Sanford N.

RULES AND REGULATIONS Except in cases of conflict, in which case the following Rules and Regoi-lations will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations of the Livestock 70 Division and the General Rules and Regulations of the Fair, will govern this department. BE SURE TO READ BOTH BEFORE ENTERING OR COMPETING IN THIS DEPARTMENT. 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 received after all available space is taken and after the closing date. 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 forms for entries in other departments. Be sure to fill in the application form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post office number, or city street address, and Zip Code. Indicate on the form the total number of animals you will exhibit, and the total number of stall spaces (four feet wide) you will require, including those required for gear, feed ayid bedding. For entries in the senior classes, payment of $3.00 fee for each stall space requested must accompany your application. No fee is required for entries exclusively in the Junior Show pro-vided they are tied in the section set aside exclusively for juniors. Junior enti'ies wishing to show in the open show will be required to pay stall fee in accord with open show I'egulations. List the class number, as indicated in the premium list, for which each entry is made. Do not make entries in the Championship classes. Indicate if you plan to make entries in the group and/or herd classes, but it is not necessary to name the animals which make up your group or herd entries until after the judging of the individual classes. Entries in the group and herd classes must have previously been exhibited in the individual classes. List, also, on the application form the name and registry number of each animal entered, its date of birth, its sex, the names and registry numbers of its sire and dam, and the name of the breeder. Bring your registration certifi-cates to the Fair; they must be shown at any time if requested by the Superintendent. All animals over six months of age must be registered with their respec-tive breed association in the name of the bonafide owner. In breeding classes, to be eligible to show, all cows 42 months of age or older must have produced a calf carried to maturity within the last 18 months prior to the opening date of the Fair. Every bull 36 months of age or older must have had dropped to his service during the last 12 months prior to the opening date of the Fair a living calf. In case the exhibitor, upon demand of the superintendent, cannot verify by affidavit or registration certificate the facts of the above requirement, the animal will be excluded from competition. 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. Mail entries, make checks for stall fees payable to, and address requests for additional application forms and further information, TO: MANAGER N. C. STATE FAIR, 1025 Blue Ridge Blvd., Raleigh, N. C. 27607. 71 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, handling and presentation of cattle in the show ring which are unacceptable. The following practices or procedures are considered unacceptable and defined as being unethical in the showing of registered daiiy cattle: 1. Misrepresenting the age and/or milking status of the animal for the class in which it is shown. 2. Balancing the udder by any means other than by leaving naturally pro-duced milk in any or all quarters. 3. Setting the teats with a mechanical contrivance or with the use of a chemical preparation. 4. Treating or massaging any part of the animal's body, particularly the udder, internally or externally with an irritant, counter-irritant, or other substance to temporarily improve conformation or produce unnatural animation. 5. Minimizing the effects of crampiness by feeding or injecting dinigs, de-pressants or applying packs or using any artificial contrivance or thera-peutic treatment excepting normal exercise. 6. Blocking the nei-ves to the foot to prevent limping by injecting drugs. 7. Striking the animal to cause swelling in a depressed area. 8. Surgery of any kind performed to change the natural contour or appear-ance of the animal's body, hide or hair. Not included is the removal of warts, teats and horns, clipping and dressing of hair and trimming of hooves. 9. Insertion of foreign material under the skin. 10. Changing the color of hair at any point, spot or area on the animal's body. 11. The use of alcoholic beverages in the feed or administered as a drench. 12. Administration of a drug of an

Zack Long STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE 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. James A.

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 Department, in the Swine and Sheep Departments and the Horse Show. Poultry entering the State for Exhibition shall be accompanied by a peiTnit from the State Veterinarian of North Carolina or his authorized representa-tive. 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 Ninth Premium Gray Tenth Premium, and above Light Blue 16 Division I GENERAL EXHIBITS STATE FAIR SALUTES . .

ENTRIES: Please note entry dates as specified in each Division. Where made by mail, Advance Entries should be MADE EARLY.

You are permitted to drive on the grounds only to unload your flowers. RELEASE OF EXHIBITS: They must be picked up on Sunday, Oct. 26th between 8:00 and 4 P.M., and EXHIBITS NOT CLAIMED will be considered abandoned and the State Fair will not be in any way responsible for them after that date and hour.

MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY! The right is resei-ved to reject entries received after available space is taken. All plant material exhibited in specimen classes MUST be GROWN by the exhibitor. 27 Unsightly exhibits may be removed at discretion of the superintendent.

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 amount will be sent to the respective county 4-H fund for use in 4-H work involving apples. 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 York and named bud sports SVs 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.

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. 57 NOTES 58 Division II LIVESTOCK A / OV<- IjfkA STATE FAIR SALUTES . . J. O. LUT2 Mr. J. O.

The Show Veterinarian will not accept rabbits infected with or showing any clinical signs of an infectious or communicable disease. Rabbits develop-ing 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. Poultry 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. Pullonim-Typhoid Clean or equivalent flocks or have a negative pullorum-typhoid test within 90 days (30 days for out-of-state birds) of admission to the Fair, or (for North Carolina birds) the test requirements may be satisfied by a negative test conducted by an official state tester at the time the birds are brought to the Fair. The fee for pullorum-typhoid testing at the fair-grounds will be six cents per bird, with a minimum fee of $1.00 per exhibitor. No poultry shall have received a live virus vaccine within 30 days prior to entering the Fair. It is recommended that all birds be vaccinated for laryno-otracheitis with a modified live virus vaccine at least 30 days and not more 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 tested at the fairgrounds by state testei-s will satisfy this requirement. Poultry entered at the Fair are subject to examination (including blood test and 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 from the State Veterinarian of North Carolina or his authorized representa-tive. 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: Points Condition and cleanliness of herd or flock 20 Neatness and cleanliness of herdsmen and helpers 10 Courtesy and deportment of herdsmen and helpers 8 Method of keeping feed and bunks 10 Cleanliness of stalls or pens 10 Cleanliness of alleys 10 Decoration and attractiveness of bams 6 Promptness in getting animals into and out of show ring 12 Expertness evidenced in showing livestock 10 Cooperation in case of emergencies 4 100 69 DAIRY CATTLE DEPARTMENT "J" SUPERINTENDENT: WES HART Route 4, Box 359, Sanford N.

The right is reserved to reject entries received after all available space is taken and after the closing date. 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 forms for entries in other departments. Be sure to fill in the application form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post office number, or city street address, and Zip Code. Indicate on the form the total number of animals you will exhibit, and the total number of stall spaces (four feet wide) you will require, including those required for gear, feed ayid bedding. For entries in the senior classes, payment of $3.00 fee for each stall space requested must accompany your application. No fee is required for entries exclusively in the Junior Show pro-vided they are tied in the section set aside exclusively for juniors. Junior enti'ies wishing to show in the open show will be required to pay stall fee in accord with open show I'egulations. List the class number, as indicated in the premium list, for which each entry is made. Do not make entries in the Championship classes. Indicate if you plan to make entries in the group and/or herd classes, but it is not necessary to name the animals which make up your group or herd entries until after the judging of the individual classes. Entries in the group and herd classes must have previously been exhibited in the individual classes. List, also, on the application form the name and registry number of each animal entered, its date of birth, its sex, the names and registry numbers of its sire and dam, and the name of the breeder. Bring your registration certifi-cates to the Fair; they must be shown at any time if requested by the Superintendent. All animals over six months of age must be registered with their respec-tive breed association in the name of the bonafide owner. In breeding classes, to be eligible to show, all cows 42 months of age or older must have produced a calf carried to maturity within the last 18 months prior to the opening date of the Fair. Every bull 36 months of age or older must have had dropped to his service during the last 12 months prior to the opening date of the Fair a living calf. In case the exhibitor, upon demand of the superintendent, cannot verify by affidavit or registration certificate the facts of the above requirement, the animal will be excluded from competition. 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.

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, handling and presentation of cattle in the show ring which are unacceptable.

Minimizing the effects of crampiness by feeding or injecting dinigs, de-pressants or applying packs or using any artificial contrivance or thera-peutic treatment excepting normal exercise. 6. Blocking the nei-ves to the foot to prevent limping by injecting drugs. 7. Striking the animal to cause swelling in a depressed area. 8. Surgery of any kind performed to change the natural contour or appear-ance of the animal's body, hide or hair. Not included is the removal of warts, teats and horns, clipping and dressing of hair and trimming of hooves. 9. Insertion of foreign material under the skin. 10.
