Information And General Rules
For Exhibitors And Patrons
Exhibitors and patrons are sincerely requested to make constructive
criticisms and offer helpful suggestions toward bettering any part or de-partment
of this, YOUR STATE FAIR.
Please report any discourtesies by gatemen, concessionaires, showmen,
or others connected with the Fair. If, for any reason, there is a misunder-standing
about admission at gates or elsewhere, please pay the admission
price asked, take a receipt for same, and come direct to the Manager's
office. Please do not block traffic and delay others by prolonged arguments
with ticket-sellers, gatemen and ticket-takers who are working on strict
orders from the management and are not allowed to vary from them.
Concessions and attractions are granted privileges on the grounds to
supply the necessary wants, comforts, conveniences and pleasures of the
patrons. The management will not accept or knowingly allow the con-tinuance
of any concession, show or other attraction of a questionable
nature or a demoralizing tendency, nor will any concession be permitted
where the business is conducted in other than a legitimate and legal manner.
Drunkenness, quarreling, or the use of profane or obscene language will
not be allowed on the grounds. No begging will be permitted.
No peddling, hawking or selling of any kind will be allowed in the build-ings
or on the grounds except by special license obtained from the Manager.
All dining halls, lunch stands, refreshment booths, and other places dis-pensing
food and beverage must be substantial in structure and neat in
appearance. They must meet all health regulations and must sell only
good, wholesome food and pure honest goods at reasonable prices which
must be approved by the Fair management and displayed in a prominent
place.
Parties owning buildings upon the State Fair grounds must notify the
manager thirty (30) days prior to the opening of the Fair as to whether
they desire to occupy the same or not, and if so, make arrangements with
the superintendent of the department for such occupancy. Failure to com-ply
with the provisions of this rule will cause the forfeiture of the use of
such building or buildings to the Fair management.
Any party or parties, firm or corporation owning buildings or material
upon the State Fair grounds without lease, or whose lease has expired,
who shall fail to remove same upon order of the manager within the time
specified, shall forfeit all claim thereto, and the Fair management may
take charge of and remove same, charging expense attached thereto to the
owner or owners thereof, which expense or claim must be paid before ma-terial
is released to the owner.
The management of the State Fair reserves the right to amend, add to
and interpret the foregoing and following Rules and Regulations, and to
arbitrarily settle and determine all questions and differences in regard
thereto, or otherwise arising out of, connected with, or incident to the Fair.
8 1966 North Carolina State Fair
In the event of conflict between the General Rules and the special rules
which appear as headnotes of the various divisions and departments of the
Fair, the latter will take precedence.
Disregard of any rule, or misrepresentation on the part of the exhibitor,
concessionaire or patrons will forfeit all premiums won, privileges granted,
fees paid, and rights to further participation in the Fair.
SERVICES
The Southern Bell Telephone Company will maintain complete service
and toll stations at convenient points on the Fairgrounds.
An Information Bureau and office for reporting and recovery of lost and
found articles will be maintained on the State Fairgrounds. This service
is free and will be cheerfully given. Please do not ask for the use of the
Public Address System to locate "lost" persons except small children and in
emergencies, or where school bus drivers and other group leaders desire to
announce departure times.
An office for the use and convenience of representatives of the Press, and
Radio and Television Stations, will be maintained with telephones, type-writers,
and other facilities. It will be a pleasure to supply authentic in-formation
of news value about the Fair, including lists of premium awards
and photographs. Arrangements may be made in advance for special Press,
Radio and Television coverage of the Fair by competent trained personnel.
The American Red Cross will maintain an emergency hospital and first
aid station at the Lounge, with trained attendants in charge at all times.
Adequate toilet facilities for men and women are maintained throughout
the grounds. ATTENDANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHARGE FOR
USE OF THESE FACILITIES.
In order for the State Fair to maintain a complete file of pictures for
the use of Press and Television services, exhibitors and patrons are re-quested
to cooperate with the Official Photographer of the Fair. Exhibitors
are under no obligation to purchase pictures, but may arrange directly
with the photographer for this service if they so desire.
Decoration and sign painting service, at nominal charges, will be aval-able
to exhibitors and can be arranged through the Information Desk at
the Manager's office.
A feed and forage concession will be operated for livestock exhibitors.
Grain, hay, straw and other supplies will be available at prevailing prices.
The Fair will furnish free the original bedding for each stall and pen, but
exhibitors are required to care for and feed their own animals and they
must keep stall and pens clean and well bedded thereafter.
The State Fair will employ police, guards and traffic directors, and will
use diligence to promote safety and protection of patrons, and their
exhibits and property on the Fairgrounds. But, under no circumstances
will the Fair or any of its officers and employees be responsible for loss
or damage to persons and their property (including entries, exhibits,
automobiles in parking lots, and articles left in cars) because of accidents,
theft, fire, the elements, or other conditions.
Articles and animals shipped or mailed to the Fair for exhibit will be
accepted only if ALL CHARGES ARE PREPAID. Be sure packages mailed
1966 North Carolina State Fair 9
or shipped are properly addressed in accordance with instructions for
shipment listed later in this section under "Exhibits and Exhibitors."
INCOMING MAIL and parcels addressed to exhibitors, patrons, conces-sionaires
and others connected with or attending the Fair should be called
for at the Manager's office. No responsibility can be assumed for delivery.
Messages telephoned, telegraphed or delivered to the Manager's office for
persons exhibiting at, attending or connected in any way with the Fair,
will be accepted for 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.
OUTGOING MAIL may be dispatched and stamps may be purchased
at the STATE FAIR sub-station operated by the Raleigh Post Office
located at the entrance of the Red Cross LOUNGE BUILDING in the
"WORLD'S LARGEST MAIL BOX". The mail service window is open
daily during Fair Week from 11:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M.
Passes are issued only to exhibitors who must constantly attend their
exhibits, or as a courtesy for some service rendered for which the State
Fair is unable to pay. To these the Fair management is grateful and ask
that the use of such passes be confined to the person to whom they are
issued.
Sufficient electric light and power service will be furnished by the Fair
to properly illuminate and service the exhibition buildings and grounds.
Exhibitors and concessionaries requiring individual electric light and
power service in their booths and stands may obtain same upon written
application and payment when service is installed and connected. ONLY
THE OFFICIAL STATE FAIR ELECTRICIANS MAY MAKE INSTAL-LATIONS
AND CONNECTIONS.
Where outside wiring is necessary, a fixed charge of $5.00 will be made
for each 50 feet or fraction thereof for making connection.
If located inside of building where wiring exists, any additional labor
or material must be paid for by the applicant.
No service will be given for less than minimum charge of $5.00.
The charge for electric current for power and lights will be as follows:
6tf per kilowatt hour. Motors will be rated on amperage per kilowatt hour.
The current is alternating single phase, or 3-phase, 60 cycles, 120-220
volts.
Electric stoves, grills, percolators, waffle irons, and all electrical equip-ment
will be charged for at the regular rate. These must not be connected
until Fair Electrician has granted permission.
Trucks and other vehicles to service exhibits and concession stands will
be permitted on the grounds ONLY between the hours of midnight and
10:00 a.m., and between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. daily. Permits for entry
of service trucks and vehicles must be obtained in advance of the opening
of the Fair from the Manager's office.
Additional information to that contained in this publication, and inter-pretation
of any of the rules and regulations of the Fair may be obtained
by writing or communicating with: MANAGER, N. C. STATE FAIR,
P. O. BOX 5565, RALEIGH, N. C. (Telephone: 832-7549).

Certain poultry classes are open to exhibitors of Florida, Georgia, Mary-land,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, and other states, if space
allows, as well as North Carolina. In all other divisions and departments
competition is LIMITED TO RESIDENTS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
NO DEPARTMENT SUPERINTENDENT OR DIRECTOR, OR MEM-BERS
OF THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES MAY ENTER EXHIBITS
IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS.
All entries (with exceptions noted in the Livestock Division for group
classes) must be made in the name of the owner, breeder, manufacturer,
grower, producer or on whose skill the exhibit represents. A firm, to be
entitled to exhibit as such, must have been organized not less than 30 days
prior to the closing date for entries, and such firm must have been organized
as a bona fide firm for the purpose of producing, or buying and selling the
articles or animals it proposes to exhibit in the name of such firm. A firm
will be regarded as one exhibitor.
Official printed forms MUST BE USED in making applications for entry.
One will be found in the back of this book. One side of the form is for Live-stock
entries ONLY; the other side is for entries in all other departments
of the Fair. USE A SEPARATE FORM FOR ENTRIES IN EACH DE-PARTMENT.
Be sure to fill out the application form completely, 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,
N. C. STATE FAIR, P. O. BOX 5565, RALEIGH, N. C.
Incomplete entry forms will be returned for correction if there is time
to do so, but REMEMBER: No article or animals will be entitled to exhibit
space until proper entry has been made, and no entry will be accepted after
the closing date listed for the department.
Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly
classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entry—in which
event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department
Superintendent or Dirctor in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OF-FICE
OF THE "ENTRY DIRECTOR." If the records are altered and
1966 North Carolina State Fair 11
do not conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, pay-ment
of premiums will be withheld.
No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to
see the entries, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are
made.
The same article or animal cannot be entered for more than one premium
number (except as otherwise stated in the Special Department Rules and
Regulations). Collections and displays must be made up of specimens other
than those entered in single (individual) classes unless otherwise noted.
No entry fees are required in any department, except that livestock,
poultry, pigeon, and rabbit exhibitors must include payment of stall, pen
and coop fees with their applications for entry. (SEE HEADNOTES OF
THESE DEPARTMENTS FOR SCALE OF FEES.)
12 1966 North Carolina State Fair
Application forms for entry should be mailed to: MANAGER, N. C.
STATE FAIR, P. 0. Box 5565, Raleigh, N. C. After October 3, 1966, the
Entry Department will be staffed to receive applications for entry in
person.

Furnishings), Sunday, October 9, 1966, at 6:00 p.m.
Cut Flowers (Horticulture Department), Monday, October 10, 1966, at 11:00 a.m.
Arts and Crafts, Saturday, October 8, 1966, at 6:00 p.m.
Livestock, Monday, October 10, 1966, at noon, except Market Cattle—Sunday,

ALL OTHER DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS, Sunday, October 9, 1966, at 6:00 p.m.
Release of Exhibits: Livestock, Poultry, Pigeons and Rabbits, Saturday, October 15,
at 4:00 p.m.
All Other Divisions and Departments, Saturday, October 15, at 5:00 p.m.
POSITIVELY NO EXHIBITS RELEASED BEFORE SPECIFIED DATE AND TIME.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be considered
abandoned if not called for within one week after the official closing of the Fair,
and may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair, on official
printed forms provided for that purpose, before the closing date for entries
in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or con-sidered
in the judging until proper entry has been made. Removal of ex-hibits
before the date and time specified above will be cause for forfeit of
all premiums won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation in
the Fair.
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper
department and class and exhibit tag with corresponding numbers will be
issued. This tag must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain
on the exhibit throughout the Fair (except that exhibit tags issued for live-stock
and poultry may be conspicuously displayed upon the stall, pen or
coop). Exhibitors who make their entries well in advance of the opening of
the Fair will receive their exhibit tags by mail; otherwise, they should first
visit the Entry Department upon their arrival on the Fairgrounds and re-ceive
their exhibit tags.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the
Department Superintendent or Director, who will allocate space and either
personally arrange the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display, or direct
such action by the exhibitor.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair
and enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of the annual ex-position.
However, exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: MANAGER,
N. C. STATE FAIR, P. O. BOX 5565, RALEIGH, N. C, and they will be
carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the
1966 North Carolina State Fair 13
same manner as previously described. They will be given the same con-sideration
with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally de-livered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation
charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair.
Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompained 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, c/o S.A.L. RAILWAY. Exhibits so billed will be delivered to the
Fairgrounds without extra switching charges. Attention of exhibitors is
called to tariff rules, governing the shipment of certain types of articles for
exhibition at expositions and fairs, and providing for free return of such
exhibits when accompanied by a certificate from the Manager of the Fair
certifying that such shipment was on exhibition and ownership of same has
not changed. Intending exhibitors should consult their local freight agent
for particulars governing Fair shipments, as some types of exhibit material
are not returned free and other conditions enter in if shipment is not re-turned
direct. If your local agent is not able to give you full particulars,
write the Manager of the State Fair.

14 1966 North Carolina State Fair
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full author-ity
over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits
which are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, sub-ject
to use as these Directors and Superintendents see fit to add to the
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 and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and pens will be
furnished bedding 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
entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given the exhibitor to serve
as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim
checks should be guarded carefully, since Department Superintendents and
Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the
exhibit tag stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported
promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Director
of the Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within
one week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been aban-doned
by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair
sees fit. Other exhibits, and materials therein, including concession booths,
which are not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days
after the end of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned and
will become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does
not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and
the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed
objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted condi-tionally,
pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any
article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will
be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the
Fair will be denied.
Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/ or Judges must re-port
disqualification of entries to the Manager or Assistant Manager of the
State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUM-STANCES
WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND PRE-MIUMS
PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOM-MENDED
UNTIL APPROVAL OF THE DISQUALIFICATION (S) IS
OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER OR ASSISTANT MAN-AGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise
and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only,
but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a
permit from the manager. The distribution of advertising matter which
conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is pro-hibited.
1966 North Carolina State Fair 15
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping
the space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and
roadways, clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit
booth and concession stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or
concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause
for cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sub-let without permission of
the Fair manager.
Exhibitors and Department Superintendents and Directors may have the
exclusive use of the lawn in front of the Educational and Commercial
exhibit building for parking until midnight, Sunday, October 9, 1966.
Special parking facilities for the Livestock and Poultry Division will be
provided at the west end of the Fairgrounds.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered
except in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or
violation of the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division
Superintendent not later than noon of the day following the award, and
must be accompained by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by
the Fair if the protest is not sustained. The Division Superintendent will
appoint a committee to consider the protest and all interested parties will
be notified of the time of the hearing and will be given an opportunity to
be heard. The rules of the International Association of Fairs and Ex-positions
governing appeals will be those of the North Carolina Fair.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its
mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the
Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute
premiums equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any
exhibit that does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE
INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN
ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except
such attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other
such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during
their adjudications, or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision
of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums
previously won will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be ex-posed
and the exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from
further participation in the Fair, and all premiums previously won will be
forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging
reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superin-
16 1966 North Carolina State Fair
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
Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE
IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DI-RECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed
when entries are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entry de-partment
files are not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions em-bracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have
awarded premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that
does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards
are made as it is possible to compile and check all reports. Premiums not
collected during the Fair will be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office
address given on his or her entry form. Errors in premium statements
will be corrected until December 1, 1966, after which time the books of
1966 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:
Champion Royal Purple
Reserve Champion Lavender
First Premium Blue
Second Premium Red
Third Premium White
Fourth Premium Pink
Fifth Premium Yellow
Sixth Premium Dark Green
Seventh Premium Light Green
Eighth Premium Tan
Ninth Premium Gray

Display and Grading Contest
A display of all major standard grades of Flue-cured and Burley tobacco
(about 122 samples of Flue-cured and about 104 samples of Burley). This
will be one of the most complete displays of the standard grades of tobacco,
the leading cash crop of the state, that is available to the public. The object
of the exhibit is to improve the understanding of growers regarding the
characteristics making up the various groups, quality and colors which
constitute the Government grades of tobacco; to encourage a more careful
study as to how far the grower should go in sorting the crop for the most
satisfaction on the market; to emphasize the importance of taking advan-tage
of grading as an aid in marketing the crops. For example, the support
price is based on the grade; therefore, it is important for the grower to
sort his crop so that tobacco will earn the highest possible support price.
The N. C. State Fair is offering a further incentive to the public to stop
and study this outstanding exhibit by offering substantial prizes for grading
a set of samples on display. All individuals or teams of three persons are
eligible to compete for the prizes.
Individuals or members of teams who have had training or experience in
commercial grading are not eligible to participate. (In case of ties, a
drawing will be held to determine prize winners).

OF THIS BOOK BEFORE ENTERING OR COMPETING IN THIS DE-PARTMENT.
Some—but not all���are repeated herewith for emphasis, and

MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY! The right is reserved to reject
entries received after all available space is taken.
Official printed forms must be used in making applications for entry.
One will be found in the back of this book. Additional copies are available
upon request. Use separate forms for entries in EACH CLASS—"1" Fruits

and the description of the article, exactly as shown in the Premium List.
If entries are received sufficiently in advance of the Fair to permit mail-ing,
Entry Tags will be forwarded to exhibitors at their home address.
Otherwise, these Entry Tags should be picked up at the Entry Department
immediately upon arrival on the Fairgrounds. An Entry Tag must be at-tached
to each exhibit before it is presented in the Department for display.
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 no later than Saturday, October
8, and should be addressed to: Superintendent, Horticulture Department,
N. C. State Fair, P. O. Box 5565, Raleigh, N. C.
Where it is not possible to personally bring the products to the Fair and
arrange them, the Superintendents will be glad to arrange the products
in the most attractive manner possible. However, they will not pack box or
basket entries for exhibit. Exhibits mailed or shipped to the Fair should
be carefully labeled to show the name and address of the exhibitor, and
the nature, and class in which entered, of the contents of the package.
The State Fair will furnish PLATES, ONE QUART CONTAINERS,
CORRUGATED CARTONS FOR SWEET POTATOES, AND TRAYS
for exhibits, but no other containers. The number of specimens for each
PLATE display is specified in the premium list. Standard size tray, HVz
x 18 inches inside measurements, and 3 inches deep, will be used. Exhibitors
should make a tray of the required dimensions and pack the exhibit to
determine the number of specimens required. At least one extra specimen
for each plate, and three or four extra specimens for each tray, should be
brought or shipped to the Fair to allow for possible damage in transit.
To insure uniformity in exhibit material and to facilitate judging, the
following sizes for apple varieties will be recognized:
Variety Diameter
Arkansas 3 to 3% inches
Bonum 2% to 3 inches
Delicious and named bud sports 2% to 3^4 inches
Grimes 2% to 3% inches

46 1966 North Carolina State Fair
Fruits and vegetables to be exhibited in plates and trays should be care-fully
wrapped and packed for shipment to the Fair. Wrap separately in
paper and pack firmly in a box, taking care to avoid bruising. Label each
variety plainly and put in dividers to keep varieties separated. Do not use
hay, fodder, excelsior or any other dusty packing material.
Quality
—
Not Quantity
In selecting Horticultural products for exhibit, choose only those speci-mens
that are of uniformly good quality, form and color, true to type, and
free from all insect and disease blemishes, and free from cuts and bruises.
Premiums offered for the best collection of fruits or vegetables will not be
awarded for a mere pile or for the greatest number of varieties, BUT
MAINLY ON THE BASIS OF QUALITY. Do not knock or shake fruit
from the tree, but pick each specimen by hand, taking care not to pull out
the stem. Products should be exhibited as nearly as possible in their natural
state, and no preference will be given in the judging for highly polished
fruits or vegetables.
Entries of Commercial containers 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 containers.
Entries of "Collections" and under "Any Other Variety" must be cor-rectly
named by the exhibitor. In the nomenclature of fruits, the names
adopted by the American Pomological Society shall rule, and no variety will
be accepted that has not been admitted to their catalogue, except in the
case of seedlings never before exhibited.
Awards and Judging
No awards will be made for unworthy specimens, where quality is lacking,
or where any of the Rules and Regulations governing these exhibits are
disregarded.
No article entered for competition in any class will be permitted to
compete for a premium in any other class. AN EXHIBITOR CANNOT
COMPETE FOR MORE THAN ONE PRIZE IN ANY CLASS.
No exhibitor will be allowed to discuss exhibits with the judges, or to
interfere in any way while the judges are at work.

registry number of each animal entered, its date of birth, its sex, the names
(or ear tag numbers) and registry numbers of its sire and dam, and the
name of the breeder. Bring your registration certificates to the Fair; they
must be shown if requested by the superintendent.
All beef cattle and swine over six months of age and all sheep over three
months of age must be registered with their respective breed associations
in the name of the bona fide owner, who must have owned the animal at
least 30 days prior to the closing date for entries in the department. Also,
all dairy cattle exhibitors must show official evidence of ownership of
animal prior to showing. (See exceptions to this rule for group classes
only in some departments).
Fees
Stall or pen fees are required for all entries in the senior and open
classes of the Livestock Division. Entries exclusively in the junior livestock
shows are not subject to stall or pen fees, and the first three placed animals
in each Junior Show class are eligible to compete in the Senior and Open
Shows without payment of any fee.
All applications for stall spaces and pens must be noted on the entry form,
AND REMITTANCES FOR SAME MUST ACCOMPANY THE ENTRY
APPLICATION FORM. Reservations will not be made unless accompanied
by the required fee, and REMEMBER: THE RIGHT IS RESERVED TO
REJECT ENTRIES RECEIVED AFTER ALL AVAILABLE SPACE IS
TAKEN. ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED IN THE ORDER RECEIVED.
Be sure to indicate on the form the total number of stall spaces or pens
you will require, including those to be used for nurse animals, and for gear,
feed and bedding. Include remittances for these extra stall spaces or pens
you will require, as well as for those actually required for the animals
you will exhibit in the competitive classes.
Animals duly entered in the show which will be exhibited competitively
in the show ring will have priority on stall and pen space; thereafter,
should additional space be available, display animals will be assigned stall
or pen space.

Health Regulations
The health regulations of the Veterinary Division of the N. C. Depart-ment
of Agriculture governing all fairs in North Carolina will be strictly
enforced this year. These regulations are as follows:
Dairy Cattle and Beef Cattle
"An official health certificate shall be issued by an accredited veterinar-ian
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 forwarded to the State Veterinarian, N. C. Department of Agri-culture,
Raleigh, N. C, before the arrival of the animals. The health certifi-cate
shall state that no animal in the shipment is infected with or has been
recently exposed to any infectious or transmissable disease, and shall con-tain
the names and addresses of the consignor and consignee, with an accu-rate
description or identification of each individual animal.
"In addition to the above regulation, the health status of the individuals
shipped and the entire herd of origin, shall be as follows:
BRUCELLOSIS OR BANG'S DISEASE— (1) Herds officially certified
brucellosis-free or qualified negative herds in modified certified brucellosis
areas in which all the animals in the herd over six (6) months of age,
except official calfhood vaccinates under thirty (30) months of age, were
negative to an official test for brucellosis within twelve (12) months of
entry or two (2) official negative brucellosis ring tests within twelve
months, and the animals for entry except official calfhood vaccinates
twenty-four (24) months of age or under were negative to an official
blood test within thirty (30) days of date of entry; provide, official calf-hood
vaccinates under twenty-four (24) months of age classed as heavy
springers or those that have calved shall be blood tested and negative to
brucellosis prior to entry.
(2) Herds under Federal-State supervision for the control of brucellosis
in which all animals in the herd over six (6) months of age, except official
calfhood vaccinates under thirty (30) months of age, were negative to an
official blood test within three (3) months of entry and the animals for
entry were retested and negative to an official brucellosis test within thirty
(30) days of entry—such retests not to be applied in less than thirty (30)
or more than ninety (90) days following date of the negative herd test.
(This paragraph applies to herds other than brucellosis certified herds
that are not located in a modified certified brucellosis area.)
(3) Identified officially calfhood vaccinated cattle showing a blood-serum
agglutination titer of 1-50 or less are classified as negative under
the State-Federal regulation governing the interpretation of the brucellosis
test.
TUBERCULOSIS—Cattle may be exhibited at the North Carolina State
Fair provided they are identified as originating in: (a) Tuberculosis-free
accredited herds; or (b) qualified herds originating from modified accre-dited
tuberculosis-free areas that have been tested and negative within
1966 North Carolina State Fair 75
twelve (12) months, or (c) individual cattle tuberculin tested and nega-tive
within thirty (30) days prior to entry, provided such cattle did not
originate from a herd that has been tested and negative within twelve
(12) months.
Note: Healthy steers for entry into the State Fair Market Steer Show and
sale are not required to be tested.
Swine
All swine exhibited must be accompanied by an official health certificate
issued by a qualified veterinarian and approved by the State Veterinarian,
certifying that such swine are free from any symptoms of a contagious
or infectious disease; that they are from premises where no known con-tagious
or infectious disease of swine exists; and that they have have been
officially vaccinated against hog cholera as follows:
1. Anti-hog cholera serum or antibody concentrate simultaneously with
the recommended dosage of a licensed modified live virus hog cholera vac-cine
in not less than 21 days or more than 12 months.
2. The recommended dosage of a licensed modified live virus hog cholera
vaccine alone in not less than 21 days or more than 12 months.
3. The recommended dosage of a licensed killed virus hog cholera vaccine
is not less than 21 days or more than 6 months. This is the only type of
vaccine recommended for use in bred sows and gilts. Breeding swine 5
months of age or over are required to be blood tested and negative to bru-cellosis
within 30 days of admission to Fair, provided swine originating
from validated brucellosis-free herds need not be tested for brucellosis.
Sheep
"All 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 re-sponsible
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 (except
entires in Junior Dairy Cattle show.) All stalls and pens will be well bedded
by 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 obes-ity,
which cannot be a profitable condition for breeding animals, and ex-cessive
leanness, in which condition animals are unfit for exhibition.
76 1966 North Carolina State Fair
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 participation 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. Certifi-cates
of registration must be shown on demand of the Livestock Superin-tendent.
Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or con-formation
in exhibition animals, such as lifting or filling under the skin,
will be considered fraud and deception. All anim
