RALEIGH
GREETINGS FROM THE GOVERNOR
I am pleased to join with the Management of the State Fair in
extending an invitation for participation in the 1954 Fair- -an event in
which North Carolina and surrounding states present the latest achieve-ments
in agriculture, industry and commerce.
In this catalogue are premium lists through which you can com-pete
and receive awards for your skills and accomplishments. Enter the
exhibits of your farm and home and let the half million or more persons
who annually attend our Fair see the products of our soil and the result
of the toil and ingenuity of good North Carolina people.
We welcome also those from other states who will display and
compete in the several departments "open to the world". Such outside
competition provides wider standards of comparison for our progress
and furnishes added impetus in advancing our State to its enviable posi-tion
of leadership.
And finally, when the Fair opens in October, be sure to join with
neighbors and friends in enjoying the five days of education, inspiration
and recreation, and gain renewed respect for the interdependence of all
segments of bur economy.
A visit to the State Fair is one of the best ways to see and ap-preciate
North Carolina.
With kindest regards and best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
William B. Umstead, Governor

1 the necessary wants, comforts, conveniences and pleasures of the patrons.

be allowed on the grounds. No begging will be permitted.
No peddling, hawking or selling of any kind will be allowed in the buildings

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 arbitra-rily
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

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

other conditions.

in any way with the Fair, will be accepted for delivery 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 asks that
the use of such passes be confined to the persons to whom they are issued.

I their respective departments.
All entries (with exceptions noted in the Livestock Division for group
i 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 DEPART-MENT.
Be sure to fill out the application form completely, accurately and
legibly. Give your rural route number, post office box number, or city street
address.
Additional application forms are available upon request to: MANAGER,

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.

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

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 receive
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 exposition.
However, exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: MANAGER, N. C. STATE
FAIR, P. 0. BOX 1388, 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 consideration with regard
to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
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
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, %
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 returned direct. If your
local agent is not able to give you full particulars, write the Manager of the
State Fair.
Division and Department Superintendents and Directors will have full
authority over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all
exhibits which are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attrac-tions,
subject to use as these Superintendents and Directors see fit to add to
the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or
which will follow, must participate in parades and group exhibitions as
directed by the Department Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the
Junior Dairy Cattle show. Stalls and pens will be bedded before the Fair,
free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will be required to furnish their own
bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean. Feed and straw will be sold on
the grounds at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article or
animal 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 Superintend-

ents arid Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presenta-tion
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 or
animal 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 abandoned
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 condition-ally,
pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any article
or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will be reject-ed
and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the Fair will be
denied.
Division superintendents. Department superintendents or directors, and/or
Judges must report disqualifications of entries to the Manager or Assistant

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 con-flicts
in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is prohibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the
space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and road-ways,
clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit booth
and concession stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or con-cessionaire
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
buildings for parking until midnight, Monday. October 18, 1954. Special
parking facilities for the Livestock and Poultry Divisions will be provided
this year 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, and 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 Expositions governing appeals will
be those of the North Carolina State 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 previ-ously
won will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be exposed
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-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
payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way
on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Super-intendent
or Director, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE
24 Noktii Cabolina State Faik
IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DIRECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries
are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entry department files are
not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
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, 1954, after which time the books of the 1954 Fair are closed.

20 Years of Service
To Farmers
of the Carolinas
From a handful of farmers and farm leaders in 1934,
the FCX has grown to an organization numbering 160,000
members in the Carolinas. It was founded to bring about
a greater measure of economic justice for all farm people.
Its growth and progress in the 20 years of its existence
reveals more tellingly than anything else how well it has
served. And as more farm people make use of its facilities
and services, it will make an even greater contribution
toward raising the living standard of our rural people.

As a feature of the North Carolina State Fair, this department is being
devoted to the United Agricultural program through which North Carolina
has accepted "THE CHALLENGE" for: (1) Increased Per Capita Income;
(2) Greater Security; (3) Improved Educational Opportunities; (4) Finer
Spiritual Values; (5) Stronger Community Life; and (6) More Dignity and
Contentment in Countrv Living.
26 North Carolina State Fair
The North Carolina Board of Farm Organizations and Agencies, which is
sponsoring "The Challenge Program", 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 for the Challenge program.
The five counties were chosen and invited to participate on the basis of
recommendations of the district representatives of the following organizations
and agencies which comprise the North Carolina Board of Farm Organiza-tions
and Agencies: N. C. Department of Agriculture, N. C. Department of
Conservation and Development, N. C. Farm Bureau Federation, Farmers
Home Administration, Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation, Division
of Vocational Teaching in Agriculture and Home Making of the N. C. Depart-ment
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 this United Agricultural Program, the State Fair offers the
following cash awards to the five counties putting on exhibits centered around
the objectives of the program. Each exhibit will show how the county is
meeting and plans to further meet "THE CHALLENGE".
These exhibits will be non-competitive. Each exhibitor will receive $500
provided the judges and the fair management determine the exhibit to be
worthy of a prize. 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. Exhibit must score
70 points or more.

Tobacco Grading Contest
Teams of 3 members and an alternate representing Jf-H Clubs, Future
Farmers of America, and New Farmers of America eligible to compete.
Individuals who have had experience in commercial grading of tobacco are
not eligible to compete. Teams will be trained and entered by County Farm
Agents, Assistant Farm Agents, or Vocational Agriculture Teachers.
The Contest—Will consist of a series of samples of tobacco representative
j of various tobacco grades. These samples are to be graded (not sorted)
according to U. S. Standard Grades by the three members of the team
participating.
Object—To improve 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 advantage cf grading as
an aid in marketing the crop. 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 support price possible.
Training—Tobacco growing, sorting and marketing experience, plus a study
.if "Official Standard Grades for Flue-Cured Tobacco (U. S. Types 11, 12, 13
ind 14)" revised July 16, 1952 and "Official Standard Grades for Burley
Tobacco (U. S. Type 31)" revised October 28, 1952 will help prepare individ-uals
for participation in this contest.

and others of the following Rules and Regulations apply only to this
department.

As far as possible, it is urged that all Horticultural Products be brought
in and set up by the exhibitor. Where it is not possible, shipments should
be made in time to reach the Fairgrounds not later than Monday, October
Nokth Carolina State Fair 47
18, 1954, and should be addressed to: Superintendent, Horticulture De-partment,
N. C. State Fair, P.O. Box 13 88, Raleigh, N. C.
Where it is not possible to personally bring the products to the Fair
and arrange them for display, the Directors will be glad to arrange the
products in the most attractive manner possible. However, they will not
pack box, basket or barrel 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 not baskets or boxes. The number of specimens for
each PLATE display is specified in the premium list. Standard size tray,
11Y2 x IS 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 speciments 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.

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
I in the trays should follow the 3-2 pack. Straight or full tray arrangement of
I
fruit should be avoided.
Fruits and vegetables to be exhibited in plates and trays should be carefully
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
specimens that are of uniformly good quality, form and color, true to
" type, and free from all insect and fungus blemishes, and free from cuts
4S North Carolina State Fair
and bruises. Premiums offered for the best collection of fruits or vege-tables
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, if possible, 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. EXHIBITORS ENTERING PRODUCTS WHICH
HAVE BEEN SHOWN BEFORE AT OTHER FAIRS WILL BE PENAL-IZED
BY THE JUDGES.
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.

MISCELLANEOUS
This class is for the purpose of stimulating new interest. Dish gardens
1 may be arranged on plates, platters, trays or dishes of any reasonable size.
They will be judged on the basis of the craftsmanship of the exhibitor,
$ the artistic qualities of the exhibit and the quality of materials used. The
( exhibit may represent Japanese gardens, landscapes, farms properly plant-ed,
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
i have any dimension greater than 24 inches.
The foregoing suggestions apply also to terrariums. The type of exhibit
(i desired in this class is much like the dish gardens, except that slightly
1 different materials should be used, the materials being placed inside a
| glass container covered for the purpose of maintaining moist conditions
jji and plants preferring such moist conditions, such as mosses, ferns, etc.,
I should be used. Credit will be given by the judges to the craftsmanship,
I the condition of plant materials, the number of kinds in the exhibit, and
the general artistic values of same. These exhibits should have unity,
variety, propriety, coherence and finish.

Health Regulations
j The health regulations of the Veterinary Division of the N. C. Department
I of Agriculture governing all fairs in North Carolina will be strictly enforced
j this year. These regulations are as follows:
DAIRY CATTLE, BEEF CATTLE AND DUAL PURPOSE CATTLE
"An official health certificate shall be issued by an accredited veterinarian
j and approved by the State Veterinarian of the state of origin on all cattle for
exhibition purposes. A copy of the approved health certificate shall be for-
I warded to the State Veterinarian, N. C. Department of Agriculture, Raleigh,
a N. C, before the arrival of the animals. The health certificate shall state that
if no animal in the shipment is infected with or has been recently exposed to
[i any infectious or transmissable disease, and shall contain the names and
(iaddresses of the consignor and consignee, with an accurate description or
1 identification of each individual animal.
1 "In addition to the above regulation, the health status of the individuals
i! shipped and the entire herd of origin, shall be as follows:
"BRUCELLOSIS OR BANG'S DISEASE— (a) Herds officially accredited
i
n brucellosis-free or qualified herds in modified accredited brucellosis-free areas,
in which all animals in the herd over (6) months of age were negative to an
i° official test for brucellosis within twelve (12) months of entry, and the ani-
' mals for entry were negative to an official blood test within thirty (30) days
rof the date of entry.
(b) Herds under Federal-State supervision for the control of brucellosis, in
which all animals in the herd over six (6) months of age were negative to
»
J
an official blood test within three (3) months of entry, and the animals for
reentry were negative to an official blood test within thirty (30) days of date
|,Df entry—such test not to be applied within thirty (30) days of the date of
, .the previous herd test.
"(c) Unvaccinated calves under six (6) months of age will not be required
I :o be blood tested prior to entry, provided they are identified as the progeny
l.ind come directly from negative or accredited brucellosis-free herds in
accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b).
I "(d) Cattle vaccinated under Federal-State supervision with Brucella
i i\bortus vaccine between four (4) and eight (8) months of age which
) iriginate in herds in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) wherein all
jninvaccinated animals over six (6) months of age, and all vaccinated animals
Ir tver two (2) years of age are negative to one or more official blood tests, may
li<j>e exhibited in the State, provided they are negative to an official blood test
jisvithin thirty (30) days of the date of entry.
"TUBERCULOSIS—Cattle may be exhibited at the North Carolina State
'"air provided they are identified as originating in: (a) Tuberculosis-free
I'ccredited herds; or (b) qualified negative herds from modified accredited
l! uberculosis-free areas. If such herds have not passed a negative tuberculin
''est within twelve (12) months prior to entry, the cattle from these herds to
i e exhibited in the state shall be tuberculin tested within thirty (30) days
rior to entry.
, "The health status of the herds of origin, and the individuals exhibited that
'riginate in North Carolina and those that originate in other states are the
ime."
SWINE
"All swine exhibited must be accompanied by an official health certificate
isued by a qualified veterinarian and approved by the State Veterinarian,
jrtifying that such swine are free from any symptoms of a contagious or
76 North Carolina State Fair
infectious disease; that they are from premises where no known contagious
or infectious disease of swine exists; and that they have been properly inocu-lated
with anti-hog cholera serum alone not more than fifteen (15) days, or
with anti-hog cholera serum and virus not less than thirty (30) days, or with
crystal violet or tissue vaccine not less than twenty-one (21) days nor more
than six (6) months prior to the opening date of the fair."
SHEEP
"All native sheep entered must be in apparently healthy condition. The
owner must certify that they are from premises where no known contagious
or infectious disease of sheep exists. The right is reserved to reject an entry
or to remove same after entered should the State Veterinarian find the animal
affected with a communicable or parasitic disease."
Exhibits and Exhibitors
The Fair management will use diligence to insure the safety of livestock
entered for exhibition or display, but under no circumstances will it be respon-sible
for loss, injury, theft or damage by fire, lightning, wind, or any other
agency, to such livestock on exhibition or display.
All livestock on exhibition must be cared for by the exhibitor (with excep-tion
noted in headnotes of Junior Dairy Cattle show). All stalls and pens
will be well bedded before the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter, exhibitors
will be required to furnish their own bedding. Feed, forage and straw will be
on sale at the Fairgrounds at reasonable prices.
The Fair reserves the right to discriminate against both excessive obesity,
which cannot be a profitable condition for breeding animals, and excessive
leanness, in which condition animals are unfit for exhibition.
No barren animals will be eligible in breeding classes. An affidavit that an
animal is a breeder must be furnished on request.
All cattle must be halter-broken. No dairy bull over one year of age will be
allowed on the grounds without a ring in his nose and must not be led from
his stall except by a staff, rope or chain attached to or leading through the
ring. Boars over one year of age must have had their tusks removed.
Exhibitors must keep their animals uncovered between the hours of 9:00
a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day of the Fair. Premium money will be withheld
from exhibitors violating this rule, except in case of sickness of animals or
inclement weather, and then only on authorization of the Superintendent.
A great educational feature of the Fair is the exhibitions and parades of
approved livestock by breeds and ages. Exhibitors refusing for any cause not
meeting with the approval of the management to lead out animals for parade
will not only forfeit all premiums won, but will be barred from further parti-cipation
in the Fair, and will be required to remove their stock from the
Fairgrounds within six hours after such refusal, and will forfeit all fees paid.
Misrepresentation as to breeding and irregularity in showing will be
exposed and any premium won by such exhibitor will be withheld. Certificates
of registration must be shown on demand of the Livestock Superintendent.
Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or confor-mation
in exhibition animals, such as lifting or filling under the skin, will
be considered fraud and deception. All animals giving evidence of such treat-ment
will be barred from exhibition at this Fair, and at all Fairs holding
membership in the International Association of Fairs and Expositions.
North Carolina State Fair 77
Exhibitors must keep the space in the rear of their stalls or pens, and the
alleyways in the exhibition halls, clear and clean. All litter must be thrown
where directed by the Superintendent or Directors.
Animals must be transported to and from the Fairgrounds at the expense
of the exhibitor. The Fair management will not pay any charges for express,
freight or drayage. To avoid switching charges and delay, rail shipments
should be billed as follows: "For Exhibit, N. C. State Fair, Camp Polk,
N. C. % Seaboard Air Line Railroad." Shipments via express or motor trans-port
should be addressed to the exhibitor, or to: Livestock Superintendent,
N. C. State Fair, Raleigh, N. C.
Exhibitors are responsible for ascertaining when their stock will be judged.
Animals must be in the show ring promptly after being called. Exhibitors
failing to comply with this rule may have their animals excluded from
competition.
Judges and Awards
NO EXHIBITOR MAY RECEIVE MORE THAN TWO PREMIUM MONEYS
IN ANY ONE CLASS. However, ribbons will be awarded exactly as the
animals are placed by the judge. EXAMPLE: An exhibitor makes three
entries in a class, and his animals place "First", "Second" and "Third". He
would receive only the first and second premium moneys, but all three ribbons.
Then, the owner of the animal placing "Fourth" would receive the third-place
premium money and the fourth-place ribbon; and so on down the line.
The decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered
except in case of protest. The rules of the International Association of Fairs
and Expositions govern appeals at the North Carolina State Fair. Protests
must be in writing and filed with the General Livestock Superintendent by
noon of the day following the award, accompanied by a protest fee of $5.00
which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is not sustained by an
impartial Protest Committee appointed by the General Livestock Superin-tendent.
No unworthy animal will be awarded a premium. Where there are fewer
animals shown in the class than the number of premiums offered, the judge
may, at his discretion, award a prize or prizes of such grade as the animal
or animals deserve.
Where there is only one entry in a class, second premium will be awarded
unless in the opinion of the judge the animal is sufficiently meritorious as to
justify the full award as provided for.
Herdsmen's Contests
Special prizes will be awarded in contests for herdsmen, shepherds and
car
