Ralelgb. Sept.'5.—North Caro
lina’s 84th annual State Fair, to
be held at Raleigh, October 8
through 12, will he dedicated to
the purpose and principles of
the campaign “For Balanced
Prosperity in the South 1940-50,’
Commissioner of Agriculture W.
Kerr Scott said today.
Meanwhile. Fair Manager J. S.
Dorton reports that “agricultural
premiums will again be boosted
this year In keeping with the
theme of the 1940 exposition and
program to encourage quality
pi’oduction and displays of farm
commodities.”
“The county fairs as well as
the State Fair are rendering ad
mirable service in promoting the
welfare of farming, education and
industry through exhibits,” Com
missioner Scott said. “We believe
that hy continuing to increase our
premiums to farmers, we are en
couraging quality production, ad
option of better marketing meth
ods and are securing farm dis
plays that will inspire others to
improve their agricultural pro
grams.”
Commissioner Scott listed the
"ten roads to Balanced Prosper
ity” advocated by Southern Gov
ernors cooperating with other
Southern agencies, as follows:
(1) Balance money crops (in
cluding forestry) with “food,
feed, and fertility crops”: (2)
Balance crops with livestock, con
sistent with sound land use; (3)
Balance, production progress with
marketing and transportation op
portunities, without trade barrier
(4) Balance farms with factories;
(5) Land, water, and mineral re
sources with population needs;
(6) Balance work with thrift
and local investment: (7) Owner
prosperity with worker prosper
ity; (8) ,Incre.asing income with
Increasing home ownership: (9)
Balance wealth with beauty and
culture; (10) Economic gains
with gains in moral values anf
human welfare.

nor, can restore a driver’s license
