r OREWORD
I am delighted with the prospect for a great
State Fair in 194-0, "nie fine success attained in
previous years under the splendid management of Dr.
J, S. Dorton guarantees that the attractions and the
exhibits will be well worth attending the Fair in
Raleigh to see.
The State Fair is now becoming a State insti-tution.
It furnishes the occasion for the gathering
together of people from all parts of North Carolina
and contributes to the unity of the state; it acquaints
all the people of the state with the resources and
products of eveiy section.
North Carolina is adopting and seeking to put
Into effect a plan for ten years of balanced prosperity,
and we are expecting to have this plan developed and
expanded in this decade, 1940-1950. The State Fair is
cooperating fully in this respect, and by the united
effort of all of our people we should be able to make
unexampled progress toward achieving this goal with
each succeeding year in this decade.
I think the State Fair has become an agency
of education and progress, and I am proud of its develop-ment
during my administration. Let»s make the Fair of
1940 the greatest of all state fairs.
I
July 30th, 1940.
CLYDE R. HOEY, Governor
TO THE PEOPLE
OF NORTH CAROLINA;
Each and everyone of us
has the right to be proud
of our State Fan*.
It is my sincere hope that
each of you find the 1940
Fair educational and that
you will enjoy it.

1940 NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR
ANNOUNCEMENT
The 1940 North Carolina State Fair is dedicated to the purposes
and principles of the campaign "For Balanced Prosperity in the
South 1940-50," sponsored by the Southern Governor's Confer-ence
and cooperating committees of citizens and public agencies.
Campaign "For Balanced Prosperity in the
South, 1940-50"
SOUTHERN GOVERNORS WITH COOPERATING CITIZENS
AND PUBLIC AGENCIES APPEAL FOR SOUTHWIDE
CAMPAIGN FOR TEN SUPREME OBJECTIVES
IN NEW DECADE
To the Men and Women of the Southern States:
The present crisis in Southern "money crops" if neglected and
ignored may bring us to disaster. The same crisis if used as a
goad and incentive to better methods may lead us to greater
prosperity than the South has even known before. From grow-ing
45 million acres of 20-cent cotton a few years ago we now
grow 25 million acres of 10-cent cotton. From ever expanding
consumption of tobacco a few years ago we are at a period when
decreased rather than expanded tobacco markets may be ex-pected.
New agricultural uses for land and labor released from
cotton growing must be found. New markets for, and new meth-ods
of financing, a diversified agriculture must be developed.
New industrial opportunities for our citizens must be created.
One great adventure in Southern cooperation having recently
been crowned with success, namely, the cooperation of Southern
Governors in attacking the ancient evil of unjust and discrimi-natory
freight rates, members of the Southern Governors' Con-ference
were next asked to confront this agricultural emergency.
"Take the lead (in cooperation with forward-looking citizens and
public agencies) in inaugurating a ten-year campaign for BAL-
10 North Carolina State Fair
North Carolina State Fair 11
ANCED PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH, 1940-50," was the chal-lenge.
Monday, January 1, 1940, that campaign began.
Representatives of the Southern press, of our universities and
land grant colleges, and other educational and agricultural agen-cies
joined with Southern Governors in the first conference on
this matter, and other groups have since joined no less heartily.
Official proclamations have already been issued but in such
enforced brevity as to require a fuller statement of our hopes
and purposes.
Exact plans cannot now be set forth because we wish all the
states and all the people to join in perfecting these plans. We
can, however, set forth the broad objectives as tentatively agreed
on—subject to final ratification at a meeting of the Southern Gov-ernors'
Conference in Nashville this month. The tentative plan
in brief calls for ten roads to "Balanced Prosperity" for the
South as follows
:
TEN ROADS TO ^'BALANCED PROSPERITY"
1. Balance money crops (including forestry) with "food, feed,
and fertility crops."
2. Balance crops with livestock, consistent with sound land
use.
3. Balance production progress with marketing and transpor-tation
opportunities, without trade barriers.
4. Balance farms with factories.
5. Land, water, and mineral resources with population needs.
6. Balance work with thrift and local investment.
7. Owner prosperity with worker prosperity.
8. Increasing income with increasing home ownership.
9. Balance wealth with beauty and culture.
10. Economic gains with gains in moral values and human
welfare.
TEN METHODS FOR ACHIEVING THESE RESULTS
But how can these ten objectives be reached? Here again no
cut and dried scheme has been adopted but all interested South-erners
are asked to present ideas for consideration and action.
The cooperation of all the people is wanted both in planning the
"Balanced Prosperity" campaign and in carrying it forward to
full success after plans are adopted. But these ten specific meth-ods
of work are now under consideration:
1. By utilizing and uniting (by example and appeal rather
than coercion) existing agencies and organizations of research,
planning, and progress—educational, agricultural, industrial,
commercial, welfare, the press, etc. In this way plans for a
^'Balanced Prosperity" campaign may be prepared and promoted
In choosing your fertilizermmm remember ^i^^that urea nitrogen gives you
two valuable^/^\ ^properties :
1- COMPLETE AVAILABILITY
Urea nitrogen goes to work quickly„;^^:::juj^^
and keeps working steadily, CiwO meeting
the needs of both early.Uyr^::,and latei^^iQ^
planted crops.
2- RESISTANCE TO LEACHING
Plant food lost in drainage ^^^' water
is wasted. Urea nitrogen stays put %/irt ^"^
the soil. When your fertilizer
contains urea, you can smile \j^ at the
rain //jyTy knowing that most of your
nitrogen will not wash out of the soil. So
ask for I?1I?1H I c I Vj ureaJ -^fertilizer containing
urea, a completely available leaching-resistant
form of nitrogen.
A$k for fertilizers made with
bDM URMliTROGEN
f»dtrr0e
North Carolina State Fair IS
with all the benefits of a new unity of effort and without setting^
up an expensive new agency.
2. By establishing definite standards and scorecards for judging
the present standing and future progress not only of states,
counties, cities, towns, etc., wishing to cooperate in such efforts
but also of rural school districts, individual farmers, etc.
3. To promote fact-finding studies and surveys designed to
show states, cities, towns, counties, communities, etc., their pres-ent
rating as judged by approved standards or scorecards.
4. To call on agricultural agencies in each state and county
to unite in promoting plans for "Balanced Farm Prosperity" and
in providing needed scorecards, surveys, etc.
5. To call on city business men, cham^bers of commerce, etc.,
not only to provide markets and sound financing for diversified
farming but to "balance farms with factories" and new indus-trial
and commercial opportunities.
6. To stimulate thrift, saving, and good citizenship by pro-moting
home-ownership in both town and country and local in-vestment
in sound business enterprises.
7. To honor efifort by providing "Certificates of Progress" to
be awarded annually not only to cities, towns, and counties, reg-istering
definite progress as determined by authorized standards
and scorecards, but also to rural communities and individual
farmers.
8. To lend the prestige of the Governor's office and the seal of
the State in honoring such progress, upon recommendations of
competent experts and local leadership.
9. To aim constantly at increasing the income of Southern
workers in town and country by more wisely directed effort, more
effective education, increased skills, greater thrift, and a square
deal in all matters.
10. To make increased wealth only a means to "moral and
cultural values and human welfare" and a more beautiful South
than we have ever known, with all agencies planning and work-ing
as earnestly in these fields as in the economic fields just
discussed.
A "DECADE OF PROGRESS" EXPOSITION
Culminating ten years of effort in all these activities. Chair-man
Rivers of the Governors Conference, has also proposed, and
the Organization Committee has approved, that plans be made
looking to the holding of a great exposition of Southern progress
in some Southern city in 1950.
At such exposition each state, county, city, and every impor-tant
industry in the South could compare its standing in 1950
with its standing in 1940. More than that, such an exposition
could be made not only a means of celebrating Southern progress
in the decade 1940-1950 but of planning and anticipating far, far
greater things in the then opening new half century 1950-2000.

FOUR ADVANTAGES
Four sigificant advantages of the complete "Balanced Pros-perity,
1940-50" campaign as just summarized are these:
1. It utilizes existing agencies rather than creates new ones.
2. It is constructive and inspiring in that it highlights and
honors progress and achievement instead of merely denouncing
backwardness and weakness.
3. It does not wait till perfection is achieved to provide recog-nition
and applause (a method which so often leads only to dis-couragement
and defeat) but instead provides that as the city,
town, community, or individual advances step by step, the grati-tude
of the State will be expressed as an incentive and inspira-tion
for further effort and progress.
4. The plan reaches down to little towns, little communities,
little men and women who so often feel that government knows
and cares little about them. It is our feeling (1) that no man
big enough for government to tax is too little for government to
encourage and (2) that only by honoring and encouraging im-proved
methods not only by cities, town, counties, etc., but by
individual farmers, farm women, industrial workers, etc., can
the South achieve the "BALANCED PROSPERITY, 1940-50"
for which we strive.
IN CONCLUSION
In conclusion it only remains for us to reiterate this—that
these plans are as yet tentative and in the rough with individual
Governors and individual committeemen not only inviting criti-cisms
and suggestions from all Southerners, but ourselves re-serving
the right to propose changes in detail and method. All
these will be considered at the Southern Governors Conference
in Nashville this month (January, 1940).
Meanwhile, however, we do appeal for the support of press
and people in what we believe can and should be made the most
important campaign for Southern progress ever yet undertaken
in the history of our states, and would emphasize these signifi-cant
facts:
(1) Perhaps never before has the time been so propitious,
and the citizenship of the South so ready, for a great Southwide
advance for Southern progress and enrichment:
(2) The present crisis in our "money crops" farming and the
imperative necessity for developing not only a better balanced
and vastly more profitable farming system but also a far better
diversified and more extensive industrial system—this consti-tutes
a challenge to the South's political and educational states-manship
that no one in responsible position can wish to, or dare
to, evade.
(3) The epochal triumph just won by the Southern Governors
Conference in its fight for fair freight rates has demonstrated
the power and value of state cooperation in a degree never before
realized.

(4) The fact that this month marks not only the beginning
of a new year but a new decade, presents a dramatic opportunity
for beginning a ten-year campaign for "Balanced Prosperity in
the South" that should enable 1940-50 to surpass all previous
decades and become memorable in all Southern history.
To this end we invite not only the cooperation and support of
all organizations and agencies of progress and of all forward-looking
men and women in the South. We also bespeak the sup-port
of generous-minded men and institutions in all other parts
of our common country as we seek to have our own section con-tribute
more fully than ever before to the greatness and majesty
of America.

North Carolina State Fair 21
THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR
PRESENTS THE FOLLOWING ATTRACTIONS
Featuring
THE FAMOUS ROXYETTES—Origmated by Gae Foster. The
culmination of years of experience in producing the raost
complete and finest revue in outdoor show world. The na-tion's
leading melodies enhanced by professional delivery.
Inimitable dancing routines, lavish scenery and lighting
effects are all combined to make this a truly artistic and
lavish production—modern in its presentation of the latest
Broadway ideas.
CAPTAIN TIBOR'S SEALS—These solemn faced amphibians
cavort through various comedy acrobatic stunts and mu-sical
routines. Outstanding as the only seal in the world to
perform on a cross bar. Using only its flippers, the animal
spins around the bar and goes through other routines that
would stump most humans.
THE GREAT PETERS—In his marvelous feats of sheer nerve,
featuring the "Drop With the Hangrnan's Noose" that has
made millions gasp. Presented imposingly as a phenomenal
sensation by Ringling Bros.-Barnum & Bailey.
THE CANESTRELLIS—These performers apparently repeal
the law of gravity with their breath-taking performance
perched on ladders unsupported by any force save the stage
they rest on. Mounting two and three high with the under-stander
mounted on a free balancing ladder, they juggle the
ladders first one way and then the other.
FANCHON & FANCHON—A fascinating and complete con-tortionistic
routine. The young lady, who began practicing
her act at the age of eighteen months, works alone, stand-ing
atop a table and literally tying herself into knots and
assuming positions the audience would have called im-possible.
QUEENS OF THE S/iCy—Direct from the New York World's
Fair of 1939, the Queens and one man in the act present a
daring sky ballet. Balancing themselves 120 feet in the
air, without a net to protect them, they depend on their
skill and the perfection of their apparatus to save them
from certain death.
WATKIN'S TRAINED ANIMALS��Five persons present 35
quadrapeds in a three-act performance starring a trained
chimpanzee, 12 dogs performing stunts simultaneously and
eight perfectly matched ponies.
BOBBY WHALING & PARTNER—Comedy and the expert
maneuvering of unicycles and bicycles are skillfully blended
22 North Carolina State Fair
North Carolina State Fair 23
in this act. Attired comically, Bobby rides a bicycle while
standing on his hands, head or any other part of his body.
In a feature of the act his partner is catapulted from the
stage to Bobby's shoulders while he stands on a high uni-cycle.
LOWE, STANLEY AND MIGHT—This acrobatic act is ex-treme
in every way—including the size of the performers,
as one is a "giant," one of average size and the third, a
midget. They have just completed several motion pictures
in Hollywood and have been in great demand in America.
ON THE RACE TRACK
RACE DAYS—Tuesday, 2:14 Trot and 2:14 Pace; Thursday,
F. F. All Pace and 2:20 Trot; Friday, F. F. All Trot and
2:20 Pace. Some of the fastest pacers and trotters from
famous racing stables throughout the country will compete
for our liberal stakes on these three days of the "Sport of
Kings," under sanction and rules of the U. S. Trotting As-sociation,
using the popular McNamara Barrier.
THRILL DAF—Wednesday, October 9th. "Lucky" Teter and
His Hell Drivers, recognized as America's greatest thrill
star, "Lucky" Teter with his whirlwind band of fearless
"Hell Drivers" return to the North Carolina State Fair
this year, bringing a myriad of new stunts developed since
their appearance in 1939. Besides the stunts that have
made "Lucky" himself famous as the king of all thrill pro-ducers,
he will also present for the first time at the State
Fair his famous Rocket Car, in which he leaps his stock
sedan over a Greyhound bus parked lengthwise, a distance
of one hundred feet. This and many other new thrills
make and keep "Lucky" the champion of all "Hell Drivers."
MOTORCYCLE RACES—A. M. A. Sanctioned, Thursday, Oc-tober
10th. Limited to 45 cu. in. motors. Featuring several
national champions. Time trials begin promptly at 10
o'clock. Races begin at 11 o'clock.
AUTO RACE DAY—A. A. A. sanctioned—Saturday, October
12th, under the supervision of the Contest Board of the
American Automobile Association, personally directed by
Ralph A. Hankinson and featuring ace drivers of the na-tion,
together with last year's trophy winner and winner
of last year's race at the State Fair.
FIREWORKS—An outstanding climax to the evening show. A
fireworks display of rare beauty.
ON THE MIDWAY
"THE WORLD'S LARGEST MIDWAY"—Max Linderman's
World of Mirth Shows again grace the State Fair midway,
featuring the latest shows, rides and lighting effects.

COUNTY PROGRESS EXHIBITS
Department A
By F. H. JETER, Superintendent
For the third time, the North Carolina State Fair in 1940 will feature
County Progress Exhibits.
The following premiums will be awarded:
1. First prize $ 650.00
Second prize 500.00
Third prize 300.00
Fourth prize 200.00
Fifth prize 100.00
Sixth prize 50.00
Seventh prize 50.00
Eighth prize 50.00
Ninth prize 50.00
Tenth prize 50.00
Total $2,000.00
Dividing the premium money in this way, exhibitors are assured down
to tenth prize of a premium which will, in part, help to defray the ex-penses
of bringing an exhibit to the Fair.
In judging the exhibits, the following score card will be used:
Attractiveness of Exhibit 35 per cent
Balanced Display 30 per cent
Representative of County 20 per cent
Quality of Materials 15 per cent
Total 100 per cent
This score card means that the exhibit should be attractively arranged,
well put up and so planned that it is pleasing to the eye. Second, the
display should be well balanced between agriculture, industry and educa-tion,
as these three major factors may occur within a county. As was the
case in 1938 when this new department was first added to the Fair, it
is the hope and purpose of the management that each exhibit entered shall
be a miniature exposition of the three great leading industries of each
county. Therefore, it should be the purpose of the exhibitor to try to se-cure
a balance between each of the three phases and not paramount one
over the other.

By all means, the exhibit must be representative of the county. If the
leading industry should be textile manufacturing, dairy manufacturing,
tobacco manufacturing, mining, tourist, beaches, lumber, or what not;
then that industry or industries should receive the proper attention.
Similarly, the display should devote attention to the agriculture of the
county whether it be tobacco growing, cotton growing, trucking, peanuts,
soybeans, orchards or a combination of these. If there is a balanced agri-culture
in the county, it would be well to prove this; but a conglomeration
of small agricultural items displayed simply for the purpose of showing
something of everything that can be grown is not desirable. A diversified
farming system with gardens, dairying, hog growing, and so on balanced
with cash crops and good farming methods is always good. Then, new
factors, influences, trends and results in the field of education need to
be shown.
As to quality of materials, no one will want to exhibit any material
that is not of the finest quality obtainable in the county. Shoddy, low-grade
materials used in the display unless for purposes of contrast will
be judged accordingly.
In general then, it may be said that in the field of education should be
shown the new and progressive ideals and accomplishments with schools
of both grammar and high school grades with any phase of the work done
in these schools under the supervision of the county or city departments
of education; in the field of rural life should be exhibited improved farm
and home methods showing definite accomplishments on the land by
rural men and women, girls and boys, with some of the outstanding move-ments
which have had the support of all the farm people; in the field of
industrial development should be shown progress made in the major
industries and commercial development of the county whether in the field
of mining, manufacturing, lumbering, tourist or any other paramount
industry.
These tri-purpose exhibits are being encouraged so that the great re-sources
of North Carolina might be brought to the forefront in a fitting
and comprehensive manner, and it is desired that the county home and
farm agents, vocational teachers, school superintendents and principals,
boards of trade and chambers of commerce, manufacturers, civic clubs
and women's organizations will all have a part in planning and preparing
the exhibits displayed. Substantial prizes are offered for the first five
places and the judges will consider carefully, in placing the awards,
whether the exhibit gives a balanced portrayal of the education, farming
and industrial activities of the county.
It is expected that the three phases of the exhibit shall be attractively
displayed with representative materials secured within the borders of the
county entered.
The exhibit should be planned to cover 30 running feet of space. The
height can be 10 feet to the window sills on the back wall and the side
walls and back may be arranged as the exhibitor sees fit. Since exhibits
of this kind require much space, reservations should be made promptly.

In 1840, our farmers in this region, were battling with
"worn out" lands. For nearly 200 years, our fathers
had been preparing "new ground" for all of their crops.
Finally, there was no more "new ground." And the
struggle for existence was on. It was then that
The Southern Planter
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
was born. It immediately challenged the "one crop"
farming system, laid out a course for diversified farm-ing,
rehabilitation of worn out soils and "living at
home."
^ The abundant success of this program is evidenced
by the conditions in its territory. We are mighty proud
of our record for this past century.
II We are also proud of the wonderful support of four
generations of you farmers who have cooperated with
us, encouraged us and supported us all the way.
H There are more than 300,000 of you on our rolls
today.

Note to Exhibitors: It will avoid confusion and add to the exhibitor's
convenience if, so far as possible, entry blanks covering each exhibit to
be entered for premiums be filled out in advance and mailed to the Secre-tary,
North Carolina State Fair, Raleigh, N. C. When this is done the
entry tags are made out in advance ready for the exhibitor on arrival.
This avoids much waiting. These entry tags should be secured at the
Entry Clerk's office and presented to the superintendent of the horti-cultural
department or his representative at the same time exhibits are
delivered to the department. Entry blanks and catalogs listing the pre-miums
classes can be secured upon application to the Secretary. Read
rules governing entries, exhibits and awards, pages 27 to 39.
The Department Directors and Exhibitors may have the exclusive use
of the lawn in front of the Exhibit Buildings for parking until Tuesday
morning, October 8th.
All Exhibitors who will mail in their entry blanks prior to October
7th will find their entry tags made and ready for them upon arrival.

Judge: M. E. Gardner, Horticulturist, State College, Raleigh, N. G.
Entries Close 12:00 Noon, Monday, October 7, 1940
Entries open to individual growers and orchard companies of North
Carolina.
Important. Each exhibitor should read the following carefully:
As far as possible, it is desirable that horticultural exhibits be brought
in and set up by the growers. Where this is not possible the Superintend-ent
will be glad to receive and place on exhibit all suitable horticultural
products sent in. However, the Superintendent will not pack box, basket
or barrel entries for exhibit. These must come in already packed. All
exhibits competing for premiums must be grown in the State.
In sending in fruit for 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 off 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 pack-age
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 Superintendent will select and place on exhibit the best possible plate
to be made from all the specimens submitted.
TRAYS. The dimensions of the trays are Il%xl8x3 inches inside
measurements. The exhibitor should make a tray of the required di-mensions
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, insect 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 Superintendent and judges may withhold premiums in any class
where the article is not worthy. Exhibitors entering fruit which has
been shown before or at other fairs will be penalized by the judges.
No article entered for competition in any one class will be permitted
to compete for a premium in any other class, excepting sweepstakes. 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.
All fruit must be shipped or brought in so as to arrive at the Fair-grounds
not later than Monday 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.

THE SOUTH is making two blades grow where i
only one grew before. Obviously, something
j
important has happened back of that fact.
j
That something, chiefly, is the addition of live- 2
stock production to crop production—742 million
|
dollars' worth in 1939 ... a gain of 80 million over
|
1938—with the result that in each of the last two I
years more of the South's Two-Billion-Dollar cash i
farm income has been derived from livestock than
[
from cotton!
|
Because PROGRESSIVE FARMER has had a !
leading part in this and practically every other
|
worth while movement for the advancement of the
|
Rural South, Southern farm people respect it, read
it, and follow it in all departments. And because f
PROGRESSIVE FARMER is edited for the million
|
high-income farm families in the South who aver- I
age $2,002.00 a year, advertisers turn to it for cov- !
erage of this rich and responsive market.

PLANTS AND FLOWERS
Judge: J. G. Weaver, Assistant Professor, Horticulture,
State College, Raleigh, N. C.
'^ ' Exhibits Must Be Grown In North Carolina
Entries Close 12:00 Noon, Tuesday, October 8, 1940
If necessary, exhibits may be shipped to the State Fair, Department of
Horticulture, Raleigh, N. C, but flower 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 accompanied
by an entry blank properly filled out and addressed to the State Fair.
Catalogs and entry blanks may be obtained from the Secretary's office or
on request by mail to the Secretary. Even when flowers or plants are
being brought to the Fair, entries should be made in advance by mail
addressed to the Secretary, N. C. State Fair, Raleigh, N. C, who will
gladly furnish entry blanks for the purpose. When exhibits are brought
to the Fair the exhibitor should call first at the desk of the entry clerk
and get entry tags, then the exhibits and tags corresponding should be
delivered to the Superintendent of the Department, who will put the
exhibit on display. It will gratly facilitate matters for the exhibitor
as well as the Fair if entries are made in advance by mail, as this per-mits
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 noon) to accommodate exhibitors of cut
flowers. Other exhibits, such as potted plants, bulbs, etc., should be
entered earlier—not later than noon Monday of Fair Week. 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 ex-hibitor
and brought back at the end of the Fair for use in claiming
exhibits. The Superintendent of the Department has no other means of
Identifying exhibitors and cannot be expected to give out exhibits unless
claim checks are presented.
POTTED PLANTS
All plants must be placed by 4.00 p.m., Monday of Fair Week.
Class A 1st 2d 3d

CUT FLOWERS
Cut flowers must be in place ready for exhibition Tuesday of Fair
Week by 12:00 o'clock, soon after which they will be judged. In bring-ing
flowers to the Fair, especially dahlias, they should be carefully packed
in boxes without crowding in order to preserve the petals against injury.
Damage to petals, especially in the case of dahlias and roses, may affect
the score when judging. Flowers should be kept from automobile drafts
as much as possible when transporting. In judging classes 167 to 174
inclusive, consideration will be given to the following points: (1) The
artistic arrangement of the flowers in the container—60 points; (2) The
North Carolina State Fair 69
quality and condition of the flowers—40 points. Emphasis will not be
placed on the rarity of the flowers exhibited. In these classes the exhibits
must conform to dimensions or conditions stated. The dimensions refer
to flowers, basket, basket handle and any ribbon or other attachment.
In other words, the dimensions over all. If any dimension is greater or
less than class calls for the judges will have to disqualify the entry.
Exhibitors are cautioned to see that their baskets are entered in the class
conforming to their size. In classes 170 to 172 the exhibit should be
appropriate both as to breadth and height over all, including container,
for the size of table stated. The judges will consider whether the exhibit
is appropriate for its class as well as considering the artistic arrangement
of flowers in the container and the quality and condition of the flowers.
Except in classes 167 to 174, inclusive, all cut flowers will be exhibited
in vases.

Miscellaneous
This class is for the purpose of stimulating new interest. Entries should
be in place by 4:00 p.m. Monday of Fair Week. 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
exhibits 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 sug-gested
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
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 prefering such moist coditions, 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
North Caeolina State Fair 71
first as to its merit or quality in such a class and if considered meritori-ous
by the judges will then be judged in competition with any other
meritorious entry.

They will be examined by the judges and if considered sufliciently
meritorious will be judged in competition with any other similar exhibits
classed as meritorious. Entries should be in place ready for exhibition
and judging Tuesday of Fair Week at 12:00 o'clock and will be judged
soon thereafter. It is suggested that the exhibitor furnish a written
statement giving the name of the exhibit and a brief statement explain-ing
the nature, source and important qualities of same. While it is pre-ferred
and intended that this class is for service and reward to bona fide
originating parties or agencies, it is not necessary that the exhibit be
entered by the originator. It is necessary, however, that it must be both
new and meritorious and at least closely related to the fruit, flower or
vegetable families.
