INTRODUCTION
The North Carolina Agricultural Society is an important factor in the
progress and development of the State. The Educational, Agricultural, and
Industrial development has been marvelous. Community Service and Agri-cultural
and Industrial Efficiency are the watchwords.
North Carolina has in ten years built and equipped 3,842 additional new
and up-to-date schoolhouses.
Factories are springing up everywhere. There are now more than sixty
cotton mills in Gaston County alone. "The listless looking coolie by his
tepee in India cools himself with ice made on a Charlotte ice machine, and a
North Carolina gin outfit gins cotton in the islands of the sea. Yancey and
Watauga counties ship cheese to Switzerland, and the world rocks in comfort
in North Carolina chairs, and homes in every land are beautiful with High
Point furniture."
The following comparative table, furnished by Hon. W. A. Graham, Com-missioner
of Agriculture, shows a growth in the agricultural wealth of the
State in the last fifty-five years that, it is believed, has never been equaled
in the agricultural history of any country:
1860 1900 1915
Corn, bushels 30,078,564 34,818,860 64,050,000
Wheat, bushels 4,078,564 4,342,351 10,355,000
Cotton, bales 145,000 443,814 737,354

1914 $241,533,670
1915 261,624,000
The management of the State Fair is trying hard to make each Fair more
and more of a help in economic progress, and every one is invited to come
and study the lessons it teaches—remember, this is YOUR FAIR AND DE-PENDS
ON YOU.
Many improvements have been made at the Grounds. The Seaboard Air
Line has made arrangements to increase the trackage facilities inside the
grounds, enabling exhibitors, particularly of live stock, to unload and load
again with expedition and convenience.
Many thousands of dollars are offered in premiums, and the List has been
carefully revised and enlarged. Especial attention is called to the great in-crease
in the Poultry Department. Practically all breeds in the American
Standard of Perfection are now included, and a department for Boys' and
Girls' Poultry Clubs. Also a change is made in the Boys' Corn Clubs Depart-ment,
whereby the State is divided into three sections, and the mountain
counties will no longer compete with the coast counties, except for sweep-stakes.
A new department for the benefit of the Boys' Pig Clubs has been
created, and will no doubt be a great stimulus to this important work.
The interest in the County Agricultural Premiums and the Agricultural
Display Premiums is so great that it has been necessary to limit exhibits to
sixteen feet front space. It is the hope of the Fair management that counties
will select the prize winners at the local County Fairs to compete for the
premiums at the State Fair.
Attention is called to the very largely increased premiums in the Live
Stock Department and the specials offered by Mr. Leonard Tufts, President.
Attention is also called to the many special cups and trophies offered in
Department C, Poultry; also the new department, "Commercial Egg Display."
The premiums on fruit and horticulture have been practically doubled, and
the department is now under the direction of the State Horticulturist, Mr.
W. N. Hutt.
OFFICE OF SECRETARY JOSEPH E. POGUE.
OFFICE OF TREASURER C. B. DENSON.
Department D2, Vegetables and Trucking, under the direction of Mr. R. G.
Hill, Assistant State Horticulturist, has been created this year.
A new department, to be known as Department E-2, Dairy Products, under
the direction of Professor Alvin J. Reed, State Dairy Farming Investigator,
has been created. Here dairy and farm butter and factory-made cheese—an
industry which has grown to great proportions—will be exhibited.
A new subdivision of Department N has been created, known as the For-estry
Division. This will be under the direction of Dr. J. Hyde Pratt, State
Geologist, and Mr. J. S. Holmes, State Forester.
An examination of the Premium List will show that the officers of the State
Board of Agriculture, of the A. & M. College, and the local officers of the
United States Department of Agriculture are cooperating actively in the
work of the Fair.
The walkways and a large part of the Midway will be paved this year. The
Midway will be absolutely clean, and will be better than ever before, and will
be under rigid and constant supervision. Violators of the rules will be
promptly ejected from the grounds. The Agricultural Building has been re-modeled
and practically rebuilt and put in fine condition. The attractions
will surpass anything heretofore attempted in this State.
The railroads will operate special trains at popular prices and on con-venient
schedules.
For full information as regards space and exhibits, concessions, etc.,

Secretary.

CORN CONTEST.
Offered jointly with State Department of Agriculture.
Instead of giving premiums for the greatest amount of corn grown on
any one acre, the prizes are offered for the most prolific and best exhibits, to
consist of ten ears accompanied by three stalks with ears attached.
In judging corn at the fair, the awards will be made according to the fol-lowing
scale of points:
Prolificacy 60 per cent
Type of ear 30 per cent
Type of stalk 10 per cent
In the corn contest for both men and boys (Nos. 16 and 17) the State is
divided into three sections or divisions. Each entry will compete only
against those from the same division of the State in which it was grown.
Then the best of each division may come up for the grand sweepstakes prize
for the. State as a whole.
For Men.
16. Most prolific and best exhibit, any variety, to consist of ten ears, accom-panied
by three stalks, with ears attached, of the same variety:
Coastal Plain Piedmont Mountain
Section. Section. Section.
First premium $10.00 $10.00 $10.00
Second premium 5.00 5.00 5.00
Third premium 3.00 3.00 3.00

Growing the Most Corn per Acre is
Exactly the Same Principle as Mak-ing
the "Best Possible "Buggy for
the Lowest Possible Price
North Carolina has produced the greatest number of buggies made in
any Southern State for many years, and the best quality made in ANY
STATE in the UNITED STATES.
The State is also famous for its boys, their quality and number. They
will continue to make North Carolina known in all the corners of the
country for its men.
The boy winning the prize for the largest yield of corn per acre, at
the smallest cost, will be allowed $15.00 off the price of any buggy we
make, if ordered by November 1, 1916, direct from us, or through any
dealer in vehicles. This applies to the Great North Carolina State Fair
at Raleigh, N. C, 1916.

Member American Poultry Association.
Director, J. T. BLAND, Raleigh, N. C.
Judge, FRANK G. BEAN, Collegeville, Penn.
Superintendent, THOS. H. TAYLOR, Cary, N. C.
To the Public:
The Fifty-fifth Annual Poultry Show in connection with the Great State
Fair held during October, 1915, was far beyond our expectations in both
quality and quantity.
This was by far the largest poultry exhibit in the history of the Society;
in fact, it is conceded that no place in North Carolina has ever had so many
birds and of such quality grouped before.
It has been the determination of the management to make this annual show
the very BIGGEST and BEST in the entire South, this department of North
Carolina's Great State Fair one of the most interesting, instructive, and
profitable.
We did not dream that it was possible, even with the hearty cooperation
of breeders and sportsmen in this and other States, to approach so near
that real goal we so earnestly wished for at such an early date. Truly we
are elated over our great success, too much so to begin to tell you of our
appreciation for your cooperation and the confidence you have placed in our
ability and integrity to stage and handle a Poultry Show—a Real Poultry
Exhibition.
Two more years and our annual show will be second to none. We only
ask your continued assistance and support, as well as your presence. Help
us to make this show during 1916 another record breaker. If you cannot
come and be one of us, send your birds to us; they will receive every atten-tion
and be handled to your entire satisfaction. They will be returned to you
promptly, with efficiency and correctness.
Premiums are always promptly paid, and, best of all, you receive at this
show more free advertising than you could get elsewhere by spending enor-mous
sums of money. Our judge is licensed by the American Poultry Asso-ciation,
and is of national reputation.
Any further information desired, remember, it is a pleasure to serve you;
don't hesitate to write to either the Secretary of the Society or the Director
of this department. J. T. BLAND, Director.
SPECIAL REGULATIONS—READ CAREFULLY.
The American Standard of Perfection (revised edition) will be the guide
of the judges in awarding the premiums.
All entries must be made with the Secretary not later than Saturday,
6 p. m., October 14th, and specimens must reach Raleigh not later than
3 p. m., Monday, 16th. Judging will begin promptly at 9 o'clock a. m. on
Tuesday. All specimens not in place at that time will be debarred from
competition.
Competition is open to the world. All specimens exhibited must be the
property of the exhibitor.
All specimens must be banded and will be classified and each breed grouped.
All coops must be marked with contents.
Definitions: Cock, a male specimen hatched prior to 1916; Cockerel, a male
specimen hatched during 1916; Hen, a female specimen hatched prior to 1916:
Pullet, a female specimen hatched during 1916; Pen, one male and four
females.

COLIC AND KIDNEY DISEASES BELIEVED IMMEDIATELY WITH
WHITE'S COLIC AND KIDNEY CUKE.
DEPARTMENT C—POULTRY AND PET STOCK.
Exhibitors need not accompany their fowls. When addressed to Superin-tendent
Poultry Department, State Fair, Raleigh, N. C, with express charges
prepaid, they will receive proper attention and be returned to owners at the
close of the Fair.
A contract has been closed with Spratt's Patent Limited, Newark, N. J., to
coop and feed free to exhibitors all specimens entered and exhibited.
Any birds delayed in transit may be admitted at the discretion of the Ex-ecutive
Committee.
No advertising matter will be allowed on the coops until after the awards
have been completed in each class; at this time the card giving the name and
address of the exhibitor and the variety of the poultry shown will be placed
upon each coop.
Any exhibitor interfering with the judges in the discharge of their duties,
or informing the judges as to the ownership of any specimens, shall forfeit
all claims to premiums.
Any person whose entry fee amounts to $3.00 will be entitled to a non-transferable
ticket for the week.
All display premiums in the open classes, unless otherwise stated, will be
decided thus: First Prize to count 6 points, Second Prize 4 points, Third
Prize 3' points, Fourth Prize 2 points. Exhibition Pens to count double,
First 12 points, etc., multiplied by the number of entries in the class.
Birds entered in pens cannot compete for single class premiums.
EXPLANATION.
Four single birds fill the class.
Four pens fill the class.
When the class is filled, first and second money will be paid, with ribbons
only for third and fourth prizes.
When only one or two specimens are in the class, ribbons only will be
awarded.
When only three specimens are in the class, first honor will be awarded and
second money paid.
NOTE—READ CAREFULLY.
It is the custom of some exhibitions to allow the exhibitor to fill the class
by paying the entry fee, and not exhibiting the specimen. We consider this
unfair, especially to the visitor, and we will not pay premium on any speci-men
not in place.
Our exhibition is intended largely as an educational feature, and it is our
desire to encourage the breeding of pure-bred poultry and more of it. There-fore
we cannot conscientiously extend an invitation to our thousands of
annual visitors to see only empty coops.

care should be exercised in packing.

parcel post. Eggs should be mailed on Friday before Fair week. Eggs
brought in person should be brought on Monday of Fair week.
