TERRY SANFORD
GOVERNOR
Dear Friends:
Both officiadly and personally, I am happy to welcome to
the 96th State Fair of North Carolina the exhibitors, contestants,
and spectators. We are especially happy to have at the State Fair
friends from other states.
The 1963 North Carolina State Fair has exhibits ranging from
the relics of yesteryear to the most recent inventions for farm and
industrial use, and instruments of the Space Age. On the fairgrounds
can be found the symbols of 300 years of growth of the State of North
Carolina.
I am confident that visitors to the Fair will enjoy the highlights
of North Carolina as demonstrated at the State Fair.
With best wishes always.
Sincerely
TERRY SANFORD, Governor
L.Y. BALLENTINE
COMMISSIONER
AN INVITATION FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
This year marks the Tenth Anniversary of the inauguration of the
POLICY OF A SPECIAL THEME FOR EACH NoRTH CAROLINA STATE Fa I R
.
Forestry, the theme chosen for 1963, is not only an industry of
GREAT ECONOMIC IMPACT IN THIS STATE, BUT IT ALSO SYMBOLIZES THE GROWTH
OF THE Fair itself. As a young sapling year by year adds to its breadth
AND stature until IT BECOMES A MIGHTY TREE OF THE FOREST, SO YEAR BY
year the fair continues to show a steady growth in all its dimensions.
"Miracle of the Forest" is the title of the theme, and exhibits
will present eye-opening evidence of the many forms this miracle takes.
Forestry, the State's third largest industry, provides an annual product
VALUED AT MORE THAN ONE BILLION DOLLARS. 1t PROVIDES JOBS FOR 80,000
North Carolinians and the total annual payroll of forest industries
AMOUNTS to $270,000,000. North Carolina ranks first in the Nation in
manufacture of wooden furniture and in hardwood plywood production.
These are but a few of the many contributions of forestry which will be
GIVEN graphic PRESENTATION IN THE THEME EXHIBITS.
Visitors will find other miracles and marvels on every hand as the
Fair presents both new features and new versions of old features in
exhibits and entertainment throughout the six days, October 14-19.
During the past year, improvements in the Fair's facilities have
been made for the convenience and comfort of its patrons. Covered
space has been added to the cattle barn to provide better arrangements
for the Fat Steer Show, a new feature initiated last year. Parking
facilities have been substantially increased. Additional walkways have
BEEN black-topped. OtHER REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE AS
funds permitted.
Through your support and participation, you contribute directly to
THE Fair's growth and progress. Come again this year, bring the whole
family and your neighbor's family, to view with pride what you have
contributed towai^d making this the finest State Fair in the South and to
again make your contribution to its continued growth and expansion.
Sincerely yours.

Information And General Rules S
For Exhibitors And Patrons h
Exhibitors and patrons are sincerely requested to make constructive
criticisms and offer helpful suggestions toward bettering any part or de-partment
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 direct to the Manager's
office. Please do not block traffic and delay others by prolonged arguments
with ticket-sellers, 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 con-tinuance
of any concession, show or other attraction of a questionable
nature or a demoralizing tendency, nor will any concession be permitted
where the business 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 permitted.
No peddling, hawking or selling of any kind will be allowed in the build-ings
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.
The management of the State Fair reserves 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 granted,
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.
Oz
8 1963 North Carolina State Fair
An Information 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
emergencies, or where school bus drivers 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 in-formation
of news value about the Fair, including lists of premium awards
and photographs. Arrangements may be made in advance for special Press,
Radio and Television coverage of the Fair by competent trained personnel.

aid station at the Lounge, with trained attendants in charge at all times.
Toilet facilities for men and women have been substantially increased in
recent years. 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 re-quested
to cooperate with the Official Photographer of the Fair. Exhibitors
are under no obligation to purchase pictures, but may arrange directly
with the photographer for this service if they so desire.

to exhibitors and can be arranged through the Information Desk at
the Manager's office.

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 stalls 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 parking lots, and articles left in cars) because of accidents,
theft, fire, the elements, or other conditions.

exhibits, or as a courtesy for some service rendered for which the State
Fair is unable to pay. To these the Fair management is grateful and ask

issued.

POSITIVELY NO EXHIBITS RELEASED BEFORE SPECIFIED DATE AND TIME.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair, on official
printed forms provided for that purpose, before the closing date for entries
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 ex-hibits
before the date and time specified above will be cause for forfeit of
all premiums won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation in
the Fair.
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). Exhibitors who make their entries well in advance of the opening of
the Fair will receive their exhibit tags by mail; otherwise, they should first
visit the Entry Department upon their arrival on the Fairgrounds and re-ceive
their exhibit tags.
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 ex-position.
However, exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: MANAGER,
N. C. STATE FAIR, P. 0. BOX 5565, RALEIGH, N. C, and they will be
carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the
same manner as previously described. They will be given the same con-sideration
with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally de-livered.
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
All carload shipments by freight, for exhibition purposes, should be
billed as follows: FOR EXHIBIT, N. C. STATE FAIR, CAMP POLK,
N. C, c/o S.A.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 freight 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 re-turned
direct. If your local agent is not able to give you full particulars,
write the Manager of the State Fair.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full author-ity
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, sub-ject
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 Department Superintendent.
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. Thereafter exhibitors
will be required to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens
clean. Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
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 release 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 Entry 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, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must re-port
disqualification of entries to the Manager or Assistant Manager 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 ASSISTANT MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors 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 rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit
1963 North Carolina State Fair 15
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, Sunday, October 13, 1963.
Special parking facilities for the Livestock and Poultry Division will be
provided at the west end of the Fairgrounds.
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, ard
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 consider the protest and all interested parties will
be notified of the time of the hearing and will be given an opportunity to
be heard. The rules of the International Association of Fairs and Ex-positions
governing appeals will be those of the North Carolina Fair.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its
mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the
Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute
premiums equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any
exhibit that does not possess high intrinsic 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 necessary 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 breeding, or in any other form, will be ex-posed
and the exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from
further participation 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-
16 1963 North Carolina State Fair
tendent or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon
which they were awarded, if possible, but the ribbons have no value in the
pajrment 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 DI-RECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed
when entries are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entry de-partment
files are not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions em-bracing
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
address given on his or her entry form. Errors in premium statements
will be corrected until December 1, 1963, after which time the books of 1963
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

As a feature series of exhibits of the North Carolina State Fair, this
department is devoted to County Programs including Community and Area
Development. Agricultural workers from selected counties are asked to take
the lead in developing these exhibits to illustrate a phase of the agricul-tural
program in their particular county.
1963 North Carolina State Fair 19
The North Carolina Board of Farm Organizations and Agencies, which
is sponsoring these exhibits, has invited five counties to arrange and present
exhibits depicting certain phases of their programs for better farming and
better rural family living. One county will represent each of the five areas
established by this Board.
The following counties have been selected to present exhibits for the
1963 State Fair: Area I, Alleghany County; Area II, Rowan County;
Area III, Onslow County; Area IV, Johnston County; and Area V, Lenoir
County. Each county will select their own topic depicting a phase of their
County Program and tying into the general theme established for the Fair.
The five counties were chosen and invited to participate on the basis of
recommendations of the district representatives of the following organiza-tions

HOME ECONOMICS EXTENSION WORK
AMONG NEGRO FAMILIES IN NORTH CAROLINA
General Aim: Home Demonstration work among Negroes in North Caro-lina
is truly a story of growth and progress. It is a phase of the Agricul-tural
Extension Service with a general aim to help people live better
through improved personal, family, and community living.
When The Work Started: The work was organized in 1917 at which
time agents worked two months out of a year. In 1922, six counties were
organized with a full time agent in each. Those counties were Wake, Wayne,
Anson, Beaufort, Johnston, and Columbus.
What is Taught: In the beginning years the major program emphases
were gardening, canning, and cooking. The scope of program emphasis has
broadened to include home management and family economics; housing
and house furnishings; food conservation and home marketing; foods and
nutrition; clothing; and family relations. It should be understood here
however, that the programs carried in the counties vary with the needs
and interests of the local people.
More than 60,000 families were assisted directly or indirectly in making
some desirable change in their homemaking practices during the past year.
Present Personnel and County Coverage: Today there are 66 full time
state and county Negro home economics extension workers with organized
work in 52 counties. These counties make up more than 90 percent of the
State's Negro rural farm population.
32 1963 North Carolina State Fair
How Wo7-k is Done : Over the years, tremendous progress has been ob-served
in the methods which agents use to reach homemakers and families
Wherein during the early period most of the work was done through farm-home
visits and home demonstration clubs, agents today are effectively us-ing
a variety of personal, mass, and group methods in carrying programs
to families. Our present use of the term "Extension Home Economics" in
referring to our programs and women personnel is therefore a more ade-quate
description of what is involved in this broad work.
In spite of the home demonstration club being one of our traditional
methods of doing the job, we think that it is basically sound in that there
will always be a need to use this approach as a basis for organization
participation, as well as a training setting for the development of lay
leadership.
Club Organization: The Home Demonstration State Council is the
"mother" organization of our 667 clubs whose total membership is now
18,000. Ninety percent of the members are rural homemakers and the
remaining are urban.

4-H CLUB WORK AMONG NEGROES
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Our 4-H Club work is a volunteer, out-of-school co-educational program.
All activities are directed toward the personal development of each indi-vidual
member in all areas that touch life—physical, social, economical and
spiritual. Four-H Clubs are organized in 52 of North Carolina's 100 coun-ties,
where we have Negro personnel.
From one small club that was organized early in 1914 to the present,
the enrollment has grown to a peak of 57,000 members. From the time the
first club was organized up through 1960, a gi'eat deal of the club work
was done in schools. Beginning in 1961, club work moved into the communi-ties
for all activities, including regular monthly meetings. At the present
time responsible adult citizens in each community are organizing them-selves
to give guidance and direction to 4-H Clubs. on a community and
neighborhood basis. In Community 4-H Club work. North Carolina Exten-sion
Service's goal for 1966 is to have 50,000 club members, 2,500 clubs
and 15,000 leaders. Experiences so far tend to indicate that we will have
many more clubs than 2,500 and many more leaders than 15,000 in all areas
of adult leadership promoting 4-H Clubs community by community in our
state. Community 4-H work enriches and deepens the quality factors of the
program for each member, which results in a larger contribution of club
members to the total life of the community.
In the State Fair will be examples of work the clubs are doing over the
state, or ideas they are promoting in counties. These six exhibits will show
accomplishments and ideas typical of 4-H work being carried out. Six
counties representing the three organized extension districts for 1963 are
Craven and Jones, Southeastern District; Moore and Rowan, Western Dis-trict;
and Nash and Pasquotank, Northeastern District.

Display and Grading Contest
A display of all major standard grades of Flue-cured and Burley tobacco
(about 122 samples of Flue-cured and about 104 samples of Burley). This
will be one of the most complete displays of the standard grades of tobacco,
the leading cash crop of the state, that is available to the public. The object
of the exhibit is to improve the understanding of growers regarding the
characteristics making up the various groups, quality and colors which
constitute the Government grades of tobacco; to encourage a more careful
study as to how far the grower should go in sorting the crop for the most
satisfaction on the market; to emphasize the importance of taking advan-tage
of grading as an aid in marketing the crops. For example, the support
price is based on the grade; therefore, it is important for the grower to
sort his crop so that tobacco will earn the highest possible support price.
The N. C. State Fair is offering a further incentive to the public to stop
and study this outstanding exhibit by offering substantial prizes for grading
a set of samples on display. All individuals or teams of three persons are
eligible to compete for the prizes.
Individuals or members of teams who have had training or experience in
commercial grading are not eligible to participate. (In case of ties, a
drawing will be held to determine prize winners).

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 EACH CLASS—"1" Fruits
and Nuts, "2 and 3" Vegetables, and "4" Plants and Flowers—of this de-partment,

If entries are received sufficiently in advance of the Fair to permit mail-ing.
Entry Tags will be forwarded to exhibitors at their home address.
Otherwise, these Entry Tags should be picked up at the Entry Department
immediately upon arrival on the Fairgrounds. An Entry Tag must be at-tached
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 Saturday, October
12, 1963, and should be addressed to: Superintendent, Horticulture De-partment,
N. C. State Fair, P. 0. Box 5565, Raleigh, N. C.
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, ONE QUART CONTAINERS,
AND TRAYS for exhibits, but no other containers. The number of speci-mens
for each PLATE display is specified in the premium list. Standard
size tray, 11 V2 x 18 inches inside measurements, and 3 inches deep, will be
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.

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.
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 cor-rectly
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.

MISCELLANEOUS ^
This class is for the purpose of stimulating new interest. Dish gardens
may be arranged on plates, platters, trays or dishes of any reasonable size.
They will be judged on the basis of the craftsmanship of the exhibitor, the
artistic qualities of the exhibit and the quality of materials used. The
exhibit may represent Japanese gardens, landscapes, farms properly planted,
homes or any other feature. Plant materials should predominate but any
kind of material can be used.
The foregoing suggestions apply also to terrariums. The type of exhibit
desired in this class is much like the dish gardens, except that slightly
different materials should be used, the materials being placed inside a glass
container covered for the purpose of maintaining moist conditions and plants
preferring such moist conditions, such as mosses, ferns, etc., should be used.
Credit will be given by the judges to the craftsmanship, the condition of
plant materials, the number of kinds in the exhibit, and the general artistic
values of same. These exhibits should have unity, variety, propriety, coher-ence
and finish.

Be sure to indicate on the form the total number of stall spaces or pens
you will require, including those to be used for nurse animals, and for gear,
feed and bedding. Include remittances for these extra stall spaces or pens
you will require, as well as for those actually required for the animals
