MANY EXHIBITS AT ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR Estimated that Ten Thousand People Passed Through Gates During Four Days Event The Cherokee County Fair opened Wednesday morning on what offi- ] cers had predicted would be the big gest event ever staged in this section, and all predictions were fulfilled in excess. It is estimated that ten thousand people passed through the gates during the four days of the fair, and the fact that there were 312 exhibitors and 1636 individual entries, far exceeded the expecta tions of the association. "Never have we had such crowds, such high class exhibits and such a number and variety," stated W . M. Fain, president of the fair associa tion in summarizing the success of this years showing Friday night. "We have had people to tell us that our exhibits were equal to any they had seen at much larger fairs, and even at the Southeastern Fair." The fair got off under rather in auspicious circumstances Wednesday morning, when cloudy weather threatened to visit the usual down pour of rain, but the sun came out and dispersed away the clouds for the day and for once the fair started off without a shower of rain. How ever, later in the afternoon the clouds reappeared and Thursday morning were hanging heavy, with intermittent showers throughout the day, with Friday displaying the same temperament. Despite this fact, the fair got off to a good lie ginning. with exhibits larger and more \aried and the inclement wea ther failing to dampen the ardor and spirit of the crowds. In going through the display or exhibition building, one witnessed 1 such a variety of different products, | in such sizes and quality, indeed he is prone to think of this section as the "land flowing with milk and honey, " where supremely beautiful dahlias grow as big as peck mea sures and the lowly pod of okra | grows as large as a squash, and where laziness is the chief mania of the hard times pupil and prophet. Variety Displays The display in tin* exhibit hall may he briefly classified as follows:1! Farm and Field Crops, fruits and grapes, canned goods, preserves and jeliles. pantry supplies, flowers, hand and art work, school exhibits, minerals and stones, c urios and -heir looms. Among the farm and field crops were found large and unusually good displays of rye. wheat, buck wheat. oats, peas, pumpkins, soy l>eans, corn, cane, and stock beets, with alfalfa, clover orchard grass, soybean and peavine hays. Among the garden and truck fxliiuib: water melons, tomatoes, squash, onions, hot and sweet peppers, pimento pep pers, English peas, turnips, lettuce, mustard, turnips, raddish, beets, cel ery. beans, cucumbers, okra, pea nuts. eggplants. apples. pears, grapes, parsley, kale, spinach, rhu barb, and both Irish and sweet po tatoes. All of these exhibits were said to have been the best ever seen at the local fair, and even in wes tern North Carolina. Among the canned goods were found excellent exhibits of fruits, such as peaches, pears, blackberries, dewberries, cherries, apples, grapes, huckleberries; among vegetables, soup mixtures, tomatoes, pumpkins, string beans, rhubarb, kraut, sweet potatoes, corn, lima beans. English peas. okra. pimento peppers an"d field peas: among the pickles: cu cumbers, sliced tomatoes. Dixie Rel ish. sweet peaches and pears, water- ' melon rhine pickles, beets, onions, chi!- ?auce. chow-chow, and pepper: I among the marmalades, peach, pear. ! grape and apple: while among jams, j blackberry, dewberry, strawberry, raspberry, huckleberry, nlum and apple butter, with apple, grape, plum, black berry and dewberry jel lies; and peach, watermelon rhine. strawberry, pear, apple, cherry and quince preserves. In the pantry supplies department were unusually good and appetizing displays in cakes, pies, custards, all kinds of small cookies, candies, bis cuits. loaf bread, corn muffins, but ter, dried fruit, mayonnaise, grape juice, etc. The showing of cattle and hogs was the best and largest the fair has ever had. due largely to the fact that a new building for housing these ex hibits was prepared several weeks ago. There were 3-1 entries of cat tle, 20 entries of hogs and 72 entries of poultry. 3 entries of geese, 2 en tries of turkeys, one of sheep, one of goats, and seven of horses and Mules. Guernsey was the predominant stock among the cattle entries and Leghorns or egg producing breeds were predominant among poultry entries. Foamite Demonstration One of the features of the pro gram for Friday was the Foamite demonstration by the American La France Fire Engine Company. A pit 3 feet deep, and 18 feet in dia meter was filled with 400 gals, of oil and gasoline, set on fire and allowe" to burn until the blaze reached a height of around 100 feet, then the foamite chemical and water mixture was used putting it out. 90 pounds of foamite was used and the water was taken from the Valley River several yards away. It required but forty seconds to extinguish the flame. Some two thousand people witnessed this demonstration, in cluding representatives from fire fighting agencies as far away as Sweetwater, Tenn., and Waynesville, N. C. This was the second time the demonstration of this new chemical has been publicly demonstrated in the state, it was said. An interesting feature of the booths was the one depicting the dif ferent phases of the welfare work in the county . and the Girl Scouts. The booth was attractively arranged, with paper houses and clothes pins painted and dressed as people. Among the posters displayed was one giving the promise of Girl Scouts, and one giving the Laws of Girl Scouts, with different phases of ihe Welfare W ork as follows: Mother's Aid: Help People to Help Them selves: Help Those In Distress; School Attendance: Preventative Work: Wholesome Recreation, etc. This booth was arranged by Mrs. Kathleen Warren. Public Welfare Superintendent, with the assistance of the two troops of Murphy Girl Scouts. Dr. S. C. Heighway "s display of . relics and heirlooms was unus-j uallv interesting, showing the dress- j es he wore as a baby. one of his mother's dresses, and one worn by his grandmother, which represent- j ed the styles of those times, and which were well preserved both as to color and fabric. His exhibit of Indian relics was very interesting, showing pipes, spear heads, arrow heads, dishes, and various articles manfactured and used by the Indians when they inhabited the land, some of which were perfect specimens. I)r. Heighway has a valuable col lection of Indian relics, which have been collected over a period of many years. | The exhibit of the Murphy Grad- ! ed school was attractive, interesting. I instructive, and very neatly arrang- j ed. It showed what the pupils of the different classes and grades are do ing. and also showed that much time and effort had been expended 1 in preparing the different articles on display, such as hand painted pottery, health bulletins, crayon work, illustrations. Japanese Ian- j terns, etc.. etc. A stud\ of the dis- 1 play of this school, which was fKe only school display on exhibit, w as | well worth anyone's time. A list of prize winners will be' carried as soe to your interest to see R. \V. Gray, county agent. B. W. Sipe, or Yt . M. Fain, as soon as possible, secure one of the contract blanks and fill it out and thus help to bring a market to Murphy that is badly needed. It is understood that beans and tomatoes onl\ are wanted the first year, however, when the can nery company gets started it expec ts to can other products. Do the farmers of this section want such a market? It is up to them, and the response they make to j this c all will largely determine whether they shall have such a mar ket. i Do your bit now! Don't wait! Few legumes add more nitrogen j to the soil than sweet clover. The (crop i? pro* inp valuable to pied mont fanners.
