Hodges governor GREETINGS FROM GOVERNOR LUTHER H. HODGES It is with pleasure that I join with the Management of our North Carolina State Fair in extending to you an invitation to attend and participate in the I960 Fair--a colorful and rewarding annual event in which we take great pride as it presents a graphic story of our significant achievements in agriculture, industry and commerce. This premium book lists the many classes of exhibits in the Fair's thirty-two departments for which many thousands of dollars in competitive awards are made. You are most cordially invited to partici-pate in these exhibits, showing the products of your homes, of your farms and of your skills in the arts and handicrafts. To the exhibitors from other states who compete in the livestock events which are "open to the world" we extend a hearty invitation. The competition you afford gives a standard of comparison by which we can judge the progress and excellence of our development programs in these fields. And, when "Fair-Time" rolls around this October be sure to join with your neighbors and friends in attending this enjoyable event. The wide variety of its many special programs and feature events is assurance that you will surely see many things in which you have an interest and from which you will gain information, inspiration and pleasure.

HODGES, Governor <Raletc;lT l.y. baluentine Brtiartmnti of Aorkuibtr* COMMISSIONER AN INVITATION FROM THE COMMISSIONER Of AGRICULTURE The wonderful support given the North Carolina State Fair last year has a heartening experience which will long be remembered by all who have a part in its administration. Despite four days of cold rain during Fair Week, North Carolinians came by the thousands from all over the state — not only braving, but laughing at, mud and oiscomfort — TO SEE AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS EXHIBITION WHICH THEY HELPED TO MAKE THE GREATEST IN THE FA I R * S HISTORY. Therefore, it is with pride and pleasure that I invite you once again to the North Carolina State Fair. My prioe is in the stutoy character of north carolina citizens whose interest in their state is too great to allow obstacles to prevent them from attending this annual exhibition of its PROGRESS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. My PLEASURE IS IN BEING ABLE TO ANNOUNCE THAT THEIR PATIENCE WILL BE REWARDED BY BETTER FACILITIES FOR THE I960 FAIR. Before the opening of the I960 Fair, several thousand feet of paved walkways will have been aooeo to connect all exhibit buil0ing8, as well as arouno the midway, and at all main entrance gates; ano there will be extensive graveling of the parking areas. Rain or shine, these improvements will aoo to your en-joyment OF ALL THE WONDERS THE FAIR HAS TO OFFER.

BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COIA COMPANY BY THE CAPITAL COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO., INC. 1960 North Carolina State Fair 9 Information And General Rules For Exhibitors And Patrons 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. 10 1960 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. The American Red Cross will maintain an emergency hospital and first aid stations on the grounds, with trained attendants in charge at all times. Toilet facilities, for men and women, and for white and Negro patrons, 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. Decoration and sign painting service, at nominal charges, will be avail-able to exhibitors and can be arranged through the Information Desk at the Manager's office. A feed and forage concession will be operated for livestock exhibitors. Grain, hay, straw and other supplies will be available at prevailing prices. 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. 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 shipment listed later in this section under 'Exhibits and Exhibitors." Mail and parcels addressed to exhibitors, patrons, concessionaires and others connected with or attending the Fair should be called for at the Manager's office. No responsibility can be assumed for delivery. Messages telephoned, telegraphed or delivered to the Manager's office for persons exhibiting at, attending or connected in any way with the Fair, will be accepted for de- 1960 North Carolina State Fair 11 livery only at the convenience of the Office Staff, and as time permits. No responsibility will be assumed for delay or non-delivery of such messages. Passes are issued only to exhibitors who must constantly attend their 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 that the use of such passes be confined to the person to whom they are issued. Sufficient electric light and power service will be furnished by the Fair to properly illuminate and service the exhibition buildings and grounds. Exhibitors and concessionaires requiring individual electric light and power service in their booths and stands may obtain same upon written application and payment when service is installed and connected. ONLY THE OFFICIAL STATE FAIR ELECTRICIANS MAY MAKE INSTAL-LATIONS AND CONNECTIONS. Where outside wiring is necessary, a fixed charge of $5.00 will be made for each 50 feet or fraction thereof for making connection. If located inside of building where wiring exists, any additional labor or material must be paid for by the applicant. No service will be given for less than minimum charge of $5.00. The charge for electric current for power and lights will be as follows: 6tf per kilowatt hour. Motors will be rated on amperage per kilowatt hour. The current is alternating single phase, 60 cycles, 120 volts. Electric stoves, grills, percolators, waffle irons, and all electrical equip-ment will be charged for at the regular rate.

Certain poultry classes are open to exhibitors of Florida, Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, as well as North Carolina. In all other divisions and departments competition is LIMITED TO RESIDENTS OF NORTH CAROLINA. NO DEPARTMENT SUPERINTENDENT OR DIRECTOR, OR MEMBERS OF THEIR IMME-DIATE FAMILIES MAY ENTER EXHIBITS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS. All entries (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 firm 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. One side of the form is for Live-stock entries ONLY; the other side is for entries in all other departments of the Fair. USE A SEPARATE FORM FOR ENTRIES IN EACH DE-PARTMENT. Be sure to fill out the application form completely, ac-curately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post office box number, or city street address. Additional application forms are available upon request to: MANAGER, N. C. STATE FAIR, P. O. BOX 5565, RALEIGH, N. C. Incomplete entry forms will be returned 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 entry will be accepted after the closing date listed for the department. 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 entry—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 OF-FICE OF THE "ENTRY DIRECTOR." If the records are altered and do not conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, pay-ment of premiums will be withheld. No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to see the entries, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are made. 14 1960 North Carolina State Fair The same article or animal cannot be entered for more than one premium number (except as otherwise 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 otherwise noted. No entry fees are required in any department, except that livestock, poultry, pigeon, and rabbit exhibitors must include payment of stall, pen and coop fees with their applications for entry. (SEE HEADNOTES OF THESE DEPARTMENTS FOR SCALE OF FEES.) Application forms for entry should be mailed to: MANAGER, N. C. STATE FAIR, P. 0. Box 5565, Raleigh, N. C. After October 3, 1960, the Entry Department will be staffed to receive applications for entry in person. 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 1960 North Carolina State Fair 15 _Z EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS O Exhibits Must be in Place: Women's Departments (Culinary, Clothing and House ^ Furnishings), Monday, October 10, 1960, at 10:00 a.m. Lj Cut Flowers (Horticulture Department), Tuesday, October 11, 1960, at 11:00 a.m. Oz Arts and Crafts, Sunday, October 9, 1960, at 6:00 p.m. ALL OTHER DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS, Monday, October 10, 1960, at 6:00 p.m. Release of Exhibits: Livestock, Poultry, Pigeons and Rabbits, Saturday, October 15. at 4:00 p.m. All Other Divisions and Departments, Saturday, October 15, 1960, at 5:00 p.m. POSITIVELY NO EXHIBITS RELEASED BEFORE SPECIFIED DATE AND TIME. 16 1960 North Carolina State Fair 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 prior 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 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 WAKE FARMERS COOPERATIVE, INC.

Livestock able to be led or driven, or which S 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 S| Junior Dairy Cattle show. Stalls and pens will be furnished bedding before jr 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 18 1960 North Carolina State Fair 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, Monday, October 10, 1960. 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, j.rd 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- o 1960 North Carolina State Fair 19 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 79 payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way ^ on to the wrong exhibit. ^J Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department O Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE Z 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, 1960, after which time the books of 1960 Fair are closed.

Commissioner of Agriculture 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. 1960 North Carolina State Fair 23 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 1960 State Fair: Area I, Yancey County; Area II, Guilford County; Area III, Harnett County; Area IV, Northampton County; and Area V, Pasquotank County. Each county will select their own topic depicting a phase of their County Program. The five counties were chosen and invited to participate on the basis of recommendations of the district representatives of the following organiza-tions and agencies which comprise the North Carolina Board of Farm Organizations and Agencies: N. C. Department of Agriculture, N. C. Department of Conservation and Development, N. C. Farm Bureau Federa-tion, Farmers Home Administration, Agriculture Stabilization and Con-servation, Division of Vocational Teaching in Agriculture and Home Making of the N. C. Department of Public Instruction, N. C. Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs, N. C. Rural Electrification Authority, Soil Conservation Service, the State Grange, and the Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service in Agriculture and Home Economics of N. C. State College. To encourage these County Programs and the county agricultural workers, the State Fair offers the following cash awards to the five counties putting on exhibits. These exhibits will be competitive. A high standard of performance will be required and if the judges and Fair management decide the exhibit is not up to standard as described in the score card, no premium will be paid.

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). 1st F175—Flue-cured individuals $ 50 F176—Burley individuals 50 F177—Flue-cured team 150 F178—Burley team 150 Aromatic (Turkish Type) Tobacco One pound package of Aromatic (Tui'kish Type) tobacco containing leaves from each priming. 1st 2nd 3rd F179—Best Display of Aromatic Tobacco $30 $20 $15 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th $28 $17 $13 $10 $ 7 28 17 13 10 7 85 50 40 30 20 85 50 40 30 20 1960 North Carolina State Fair 49 N.

Where it is not possible, shipments should |— be made in time to reach the Fairgrounds no later than Monday, October 2 10, 1960, and should be addressed to: Superintendent, Horticulture De- jo partment, N. C. State Fair, P. 0. Box 5565, Raleigh, N. C. m 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, HVz 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. To insure uniformity in exhibit material and to facilitate judging, the following sizes for apple varieties will be recognized: 52 1960 North Carolina State Fair Staymared 3 to 3% inches Starking 3 to 3% inches Wealthy 2% to 3% inches Winesap 2% to 3 inches Winter Banana 3% to 2>Vi inches York ZVS to 3% inches Large apples, such as Rome, should be arranged in the flats to represent a 2-2 pack. For smaller varieties, such as Winesap, the arrangement of fruit in the trays should follow the 3-2 pack. Straight or full tray arrange-ment of fruit should be avoided. 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 baskets 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 bushel baskets. 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. 1960 North Carolina State Fair 53 Class 1���Fruits and Nuts APPLES (Displays) 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th G 1—COMMERCIAL DISPLAY. $150.00 $100.00 $75.00 $50.00 $25.00 To consist of twenty (20) trays—five trays each—of four different stand-ard commercial varieties from the following list, fruit to be unwrapped: Arkansas Black, Bonum, Delicious or a budsport, Stayman or a budsport, X Winesap, Grimes Golden, Mammoth Black Twig, York Imperial or a bud- ~ sport, Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty or a budsport, and any other one H variety or its budsport.
