One of the most interesting exhibits in the history of the North Carolina State Fair was put on this year by the Home Demonstration club women of Wilkes County showing numerous ways to can apples. The exhibit was given wide publicity and attracted the attention of many high officals and agricultural authorities. Mtn.

MRUON PEOPLE VIEWED FINE At FAIR I We are wondering how many of you know that Wilkes county was one of the six counties out of the 100 counties in the fttate selected to put on an exhibit at the State Fair. <We feel that this was indeed » rare Privilege. The idea for this booth originated two years ago at the Brushy Mountain Fruit growers picnic. .In making plans for the program for this occasion, it was decided to have Miss Hose EllwoOd Bryan, Food Conservation Specialist from Raleigh, discuss apple products with the women. Miss Bryan and the Home Agents decided that a display of canned apple products would add a great deal to the program. The time element was most important as we had about two weeks to werk up the exhibit. Cricket club was scheduled to meet the- following day, and for that reason they were asked to work up the display of apple products. „ At the Fruit Growers picnic 42 various ways of conserving apples were shown. Continued work has followed, by the HDC women in the county. Last fall at the State Fair 98 different ways of conserving apples were shown. We also had on display 24 trays and 9 bushels of the various varieties of apples grown in the Brushy Mountains. The Home Demonstration Club women feel greatly indebted to the fruit growers for giving the apples for our display. As you can imagine, they added much color and beauty and made our exhibit much more attractive. This exhibit has no doubt created more publicity for Wilkes County and its apples than any other thing that could have been done. It was seen by at least one-half million people. Among the dignitaries having their pictures taken in our booth were: Governor Kerr Scott, Senator Clyde Hoey, Commissioner of Agriculture L. Y. Ballentine. and many others. We are very, very grateful to those women who left their duties at home and went to Raleigh to prepare the apples and apple products for display. Enough credit cannot be given these women for the splendid way in which they • advertised Wilkes County. TTie following women made the trip to Ralfigh and did this work: Mrs. JoHfe Andrews,' Mrs. D. E. Turner, Mrs. Ed Bum garner, Mrs. Ed Hendren, Mrs. Hunter Church, and Mrs. Albert Baity. Their services were a necessity because we had to keep some on* in the booth for 13 long hoars each day to give information and answer the many, many questions that were asked about the apples and 98. apple products. You can't imagine how tiresome this can be until you have tried to answer the thousands of questions that were being weed all of the time. • Our exhibit created so many favorable comments that we were ashed by the Extension Department of State Collage to put on this same exhibit next year at Farm and Home Week. We feel that this is definitely an outstanding recognition of the splendid work that is being done in Wilkes County by the Home Demonstration Club women. • . n . Macedonia News (By MRS. W. F.
