RALEIGH
FOREWORD
Each year the people of North Carolina take time out from
their work to attend the North Carolina State Fair. It is here we
review our progress and plan for the future.
This great exposition is a North Carolina tradition and has
played a definite role in the progress of our State. It serves to
bring together the friendly people of our State, who each year look
forward to renewing old acquaintances and making new ones and
provides the opportunity for an exchange of ideas.
It also brings together the products of the entire state so that
one can review, with pride, our achievements in agriculture, in-dustry,
commerce and domestic arts.
Already, plans for enlarging the facilities are going forward
and when completed will give North Carolina one of the finest and
most complete fair grounds in the country. Even though we cannot
enjoy these improvements this year, the 1950 State Fair will be a
most memorable occasion.
Sincerely,
W. Kerr Scott, Governor
L- Y- BALLENTINE
COMMISSIONER
p^partmcnt of Agrintlturf
TO ALL NORTH CAkOLI ril ANIS
Again it is my privilege to welcome you to the North Carolina State Fair,
As WE MOVE INTO the second half of the Twentieth Century, it would be in-teresting
TO REVIEW the agricultural and technical advances of the last fifty
years. To list them even briefly would require more pages than there are in
this entire book - and this book is dedicated to the present and the future, not
to the past.
no single half-century in history has brought forth 50 many inventions and
DISCOVERIES TO LIGHTEN OUR BURDENS AND INCREASE OUR PRODUCTIVITY. ThE PURPOSE
OF THE State Fair is to give us each year, in this rapidly changing world, a
REVIEW OF some history in the making, *ith glimpses of things to come.
Can you imagine the reaction of one of our American pioneers, who carved
A CIVILIZATION out OF A WILDERNESS WITH LITTLE MORE THAN HIS BARE HANDS, IF HE
COULD HAVE SEEN THE ACRES OF MODERN FARM MACHINERY ON DISPLAY AT THE pAIR LAST
YEAR? Can YOU picture his work-worn wife as she saw demonstrated the many
LABOR-SAVING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR THE HOME? CaN YOU ENVISION THEIR AMAZE-MENT
at the improved LIVESTOCK AND CROPS EXHIBITED?
We, WHO HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO WITNESS THESE DEVELOPMENTS YEAR BY YEAR,
can only diwly appreciate how these figures from the past would feel if they
were permitted to walk through the grounds and exhibit halls of the 1950 state
Fair. There will be modern "Pioneers" at the F*i r this year; people who have
brought the work of their minds and their hands to show you what can be done and
challenge you to better it.
It IS ONLY THROUGH YOUR INTEREST AND COOPERATION THAT WE CAN MAKE THIS
UNDERTAKING A SUCCESS. THESE YOU HAVE GIVEN WITHOUT STINT IN THE PAST, AND
I AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL MAKE THE 1950 STATE FaIR A FITTING MONUMENT TO A
HALF-CENTURY OF PROGRESS.
Sincerely yours.

YOUR big job in 19 50 will be to increase the efficiency
of your fields. This means cutting; costs and in-creasing
yields at the same time. That's the double-barreled
job high analysis Smith-Douglass Fertilizers
are designed to do.
Because they contain more and finer plant foods per
bag, S-D fertilizers pack more "growing power." Use
them abundantly and they will give you increased
yields that extra acres might produce . . . but at far
less cost. That's efficiency. And remember . . .

General Information
It is anticipated ttiat attendance at the North Carolina State Fair
this year will approximate a quarter of a million people. To serve this
vast throng, it is necessary to have on the Fairgrounds, comprising over
two hundred acres, a modern city, fully equipped, to make Fair visitors
more comfortahle.
Public Services
The Southern Bell Telephone Company will maintain complete service,
and toll pay stations at convenient points.
The Western Union will maintain an office and complete service on
the grounds.
Information Bureau
An information bureau is maintained at the main office, where informa-tion
will be given cheerfully and reliably. We will be happy to have you
use this service.
Press Bureau
A press bureau and news headquarters will be located in the main
office building, with an experienced newspaper man in charge. All news-paper
men and representatives of all publications are cordially invited
to make this office their headquarters. It will be a pleasure to furnish
authentic information of news value to all newspaper men and to render
any service and courtesies possible.
Opening and Closing
The North Carolina State Fair will be formally opened Tuesday morning,
October 17th, at 10:00 A.M. and will close Saturday, October 21st at 12:00
o'clock (midnight).
Red Cross First Aid Stations and Emergency Hospital
All of these services are conveniently located on the grounds, with
competent attendants in charge at all times.
Transportation
All carload shipments by freight, for exhibition purposes, should be
billed as follows: For exhibit, North Carolina State Fair, Camp Polk,

In 1947 the only other open-flame curer that had been used for a
number of years, had a tire loss exactly twice as great as Florence-
Mayo—and that other curer does not offer an air-conditioning
'feature!
Since 19 40, five different makes of open-flame curers have been
placed on the market. Of these five, 4 infringed on the Mayo patent!
Today, manufacturers are offering curers without air-conditioning
features, to avoid infringing the Mayo patent, or paying royalties
for use of the patent. Any open-flame curer similar to the Mayo, but
without the air-conditioning feature can only be classed as a "second-line"
curer.

Judges :

Make Entry on Application Form in back of book.
The farm display must represent the individual farm and farm ac-tivity
of the exhibitor. Each item in this display should be a miniature
exposition and it should be the purpose of the exhibitor to make each
item carry the proper relationship in showing a well balanced farm and
home program.
The display should be balanced with not too much of any one thing
being represented. It is not so desirable to just collect a number of
items, but rather to make the exhibit reflect the entire farm operation.
Regardless of the score card the display should be attractive and ap-pealing
to the eye. It should prove educational so that practical lessons
may be drawn from it by farmers and others with reference to farm
and home management as well as production and marketing practices.
The premium money offered in this department is sufficient to war-rant
the best efforts of the exhibitor, and exhibitors are assured down
to the tenth place of a premium which will help defray the expenses
of bringing the exhibit to the fair.
Each exhibitor will be allotted space twelve running feet frontage and
twelve feet depth. The sidewalls and back may be arranged as the ex-hibitor
sees fit. The height of the exhibit shall not exceed ten feet. A
neat sign identifying the farm and farmer should be displayed with each
exhibit.
Application forms will be furnished upon request to the Manager of the
fair. Your entry on proper blanks must be in by Saturday noon, October 14.
Each exhibitor will be required to file an affidavit with the Manager of the
Fair not later than noon, Monday, October 16th, that all agricultural products
shown in the display were produced on his farm.
The following Premiums will be awarded:

In sending in fruit tor exhibition, select only those specimens that are
perfect in form and color, and free from all insect and fungus blemishes.
Do not knock or shake the fruit from the tree, but pick each specimen
by hand, taking care not to pull out the stem.
Fruit should be exhibited as nearly as possible in its natural state,
and no preference will be given highly polished fruit by the judges.
Fruit to be exhibited in trays, and in plates, should be carefully
wrapped and packed. Each fruit should be wrapped separately in paper
and packed firmly in box or barrel, taking care to avoid bruising. Label
each variety plainly and put in paper dividers to keep varieties separated.
Do not use hay, fodder, excelsior, or any other dusty material in" packing.
Nail up firmly.
IMPORTANT—READ
If exhibit must be shipped, address each package plainly to "State
Fair, Department of Horticulture, Raleigh, N. C." Each package should
be plainly marked with the name and address of the exhibitor. Each
package should be plainly marked giving the class in which contents
are entered.
PLATES. Plates for the variety exhibits of fruits will be furnished
free by the Fair. A perfect plate of fruit should contain five specimens,
and no more, characteristic of the variety, with stems attached, of high
color, uniform, marketable size, free from cuts and bruises and all insect
and fungus blemishes. If additional specimens are sent in by growers,
the Director will select and place on exhibit the best possible plate to
be made from all the specimens submitted. Shipping six apples is recom-mended
for a plate of 5 apples.
TRAYS. The dimensions of the trays are 11 1/^ x 18 x 3 inches inside
measurements. The exhibitor should make a tray of the required dimen-sions
and pack each variety to be displayed in this class, in order to
know how many apples are needed. Four or five extra apples per tray
should be sent in order to allow for rot and damage in transit.
BASKETS. Commercial basket apples should be graded to uniform
size, high color, freedom from bruises, insects and fungus blemishes.
They should be properly packed and ring faced in standard bushel
baskets.
GENERAL RULES. A premium offered for a general collection of
fruit will not be awarded to a mere pile of apples, or other fruit, but
must be a real collection, arranged on plates and all correctly labeled,
and no fruit will be counted in a collection unless it is a fair specimen
of the variety. No trashy fruit of any kind will be counted merely to
make up a collection. A premium for the best collection of grapes,
peaches or any other fruit will not be awarded for a mere number, but
to the Quality of the exhibit mainly. Fruit entered under the heading
"Any Other Fruit" should be named, if possible, by the exhibitor.
The Directors and Judges may withhold premiums in any class where
the article is not v/orthy. Exhibitors entering fruit which has been
shown before or at other fairs will be penalized by the Judges.
North Carolina State Fair 49
No article entered for competition in any one 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 attention will be paid by the committee to any fruit or other ex-hibit
that is not arranged in accordance with these rules.
Fruit if shipped must arrive at the Fairgrounds not later than Mon-day
at 10 A.M. of Fair Week, charges prepaid.
The awards for fruits will be made as soon as possible after the open-ing
of the Fair.
No exhibitor will be allowed to discuss exhibits with the judges, or to

Application form covering the shipments should be addressed to the
Manager of the Fair and be mailed, preferably, in advance of shipment.
All vegetables exhibited must be grown by exhibitor.
All varieties of vegetables entered for premiums should be well selected
as to uniformity, freedom from blemishes, and trueness to type.

is of inferior quality. All exhibits must be in place and arranged in the

Showing a champion . . . bringing home a blue ribbon from the fair
is the favorite dream of many a farm boy. That's why he spends a good
share of his waking hours helping it to come true.
He garnishes his calf's ground corn with minerals and molasses —worries if it isn't licked up clean. He spends hours teaching his baby
beef to lead . . . combs and curries its gleaming coat until aching arms
rebel.
Dreaming dreams and then working hard to make them come true is
the American way. That's the spirit which transformed a wilderness into
the world's most powerful nation in a little over 300 years. That's the
mainspring which made a peace-loving nation the arsenal of democracy.
That's the habit which makes our country the land of opportunity and
great accomplishments.
Back in 1837, John Deere's dreams and dogged determination gave
the world the first successful steel plow. This new plow unlocked the
wealth of the prairie soil—created a new agricultural empire. Today,
the John Deere organization is pioneering new frontiers—working
to make the American dream of a well-fed world a reality.
Careful preparation and lots of perspiration still make dreams come
true in America. For in this free land, life is what you make it—the future
is unlimited.

Mrs. H. L. Meacham, Supervisor
This department is under the direction of the State Garden Club, which
will receive, enter, arrange and supervise the show.
Special Note: All exhibits and containers are left at exhibitors' risk,
though all protective care possible is provided.
Exhibitors may use entrance in front of Main Exhibit Hall when bring-ing
in and removing their exhibits.
Exhibits must be grown in North Carolina.
Entries and exhibits must be in by 11:00 A.M., Tuesday, October 17th.
If necessary, exhibits may be shipped to the State Fair, Department
of Horticulture, Raleigh, N. C, but floM^er exhibits are generally brought
to the Fair by exhibitors, owing to their perishable nature. If shipped,
they should be packed carefully and the shipment should be accompa-nied
by an application form properly filled out and addressed to the State
Fair. Catalogs and application forms may be obtained from the Manager's
office or on request by mail to the Manager. Even when flowers and plants
are being brought to the Fair, entries should be made in advance by mail
addressed to the Manager, N. C. State Fair, Raleigh, N. C, Box 1388, who
will gladly 'furnish application forms for the purpose. When exhibits are
brought to the Fair the exhibitor should first call at the desk of the entry
clerk and get entry tags, then the exhibits and tags corresponding should
be delivered to the Directors of the Department, who will put the exhibit on
display. It will greatly facilitate matters for the exhibitor as well as the
Fair if entries are made in advance by mail, as this permits writing up
tags before the rush and having them ready for the exhibitor on arrival
at the entry clerk's desk. The time for closing entries is set late (Tuesday
11:00 A.M.) to accommodate exhibitors of cut flowers. Other entries, such
as potted plants, bulbs, etc., should be entered earlier—not later than
6:00 P.M. Saturday, Oct. 14th. Exhibitors should be sure to get their claim
check as they turn over exhibits to the Department. These claim checks
should be carefully kept by the exhibitor and brought back at the end of the
Fair for use in claiming exhibits. The Directors of the Department have
no other means of identifying exhibitors and cannot be expected to give out
exhibits unless claim checks are presented. Exhibits should be claimed
between 5:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. on Saturday of Fair Week.

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 mate-rials
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. To the extent
necessary materials such as mirrors, rocks, ornaments, wood, etc., may be
used. It is suggested that the exhibitor limit his exhibit to reasonable
size and no exhibit should have any dimension greater than 36 inches.
The foregoing suggestions apply also to terrariums. The type of ex-hibit
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
of plants in the exhibit, and the general artistic values of same. These
exhibits should have unity, variety, propriety, coherence and finish.
Under the entry for meritorious novelty or floral exhibit any plant
or flower or other related novelty can be exhibited. Each will be judged
first as to its merit or quality in such a class and if considered meritorious
by the judges will then be judged in competition with any other meri-torious
entry.

HERDSMEN'S CONTEST
There is no other class of livestock exhibits that requires such great
attention to neatness, cleanliness and sanitation as does the exhibit of
beef cattle and sheep. The Livestock Departments, realizing that the
herdsman is directly responsible for the condition of his herd and the
quarters it occupies, will continue the popular herdsmen's contest, which
has not only been an incentive to the herdsmen, but has also added greatly
to the general appearance of the barns.
All herdsmen in charge of herds will be considered entrants in the con-test
and it will not be necessary for special entry cards to be filled out.

Judging schedules as indicated under each breed. The Directors re-serve
the right to change this schedule should unusual circumstances
warrant such change in any dairy classes.
Positively no dairy cattle are to be removed from the exposition
grounds until Saturday, October 21, at 12 o'clock noon, except when animals

General Precautions
The State Fair management urges that every precaution be taken on
the part of the exhibitors to use individual utensils in caring for cattle and
in particular to use individual water buckets. Common water troughs are
forbidden.
The management also urges the necessity of all exhibitors thoroughly
cleaning and disinfecting all cars and trucks which are to be used to
transport their animals to and from the State Fair. Cars and trucks, and
other vehicles regularly used for the transportation of animals are con-sidered
exposed premises.

In Dairy Breed Classes
Base dates for computing ages of animals in the dairy breeds are July
1 and January 1.
Cattle must be owned by the exhibitor from the time of making entries,
except that progeny of bull or cow may be shown as proof of breeding
qualities withotit such ownership in the dairy breeds.
Certificate of registry or proof of breeding must be furnished the
directors on demand.
Exhibitors must ascertain when their stock will be jtidged. Animals
must be in the show ring promptly after being called. Exhibitors failing
to comply with this rule may have animals excluded from competition.
Yearling females in milk must show as 2-year olds in individual and
group lots.
In breeding classes, to be eligible to show, all cows 42 months of age or
over must have produced a calf carried to maturity, within the past IS
months. Every bull 36 months old or over must have had dropped to his
service during the past 12 months, a living calf. In case the exhibitor,
upon demand of superintendent, cannot verify by affidavit the facts of
the above requirements, the cattle will be excluded from competition.
In making awards in breeding classes the judges are instructed to lay
much stress on the evidence of superior breeding qualities. When animals
show evidence of having been "overdone" (overloaded with flesh to the
evident injury of their breeding qualities), they shall be discriminated
against accordingly.
