STATE FAIR PARTICIPATION

Dare County residents are urged
to help make the 1866 N. C. State
Fair, October Is through %, the
most outstanding in the long his
tory of the event.
R. S. Smith, Dare county agent
for the State College Extension
Service, urged rural and urban
residents alike "to participate in
the 1866 State Fair in every way
possible. The fair belongs to the
people and is truly a wonderful
experience for both young and old"
Mr.. Smith pointed out that the
real purpose of the State Fair is
to educate The wide variety of
entertainment available on the
fairgrounds is something extra.
"a trip through the vast educa-

at record clip in all departments.
at is hoped that several of the,
top winners at the State Fair this
year will be from our area" said
Mr.. Smith. "With more than
100000 in cash premiums being
offered, plus the announced rs
per cent increase in premiums for
blue ribbon exhibits at other fairs,
the State Fair should break all
existing records.

tional exhibit halls, the cattle,
swine, sheep and horse barns can
be an education in itself. And a
few minutes of close observation
during any of the livestock judging
periods can actually put money
into farmers pocket"
Last year the State Fair attract
ed competitive exhibitors from SO
of the states 100 counties, making
it truly a State Fair. This year the
goal is for all 100 counties to be
represented. Right now it looks as
