POLfc COUNTY FAIR.
Octobr 9, 10 and 11 is the date se
lected for the Polk County Fair, and
that time is rapidly approaching. Ev
ery effort has been put forth this year
to make the Fair a success. Liberal
premiums are offered on almost ev
erything, the- farm, forest or quarry .
in Polkl county can produce- It is
nowuirto the people to seject the best
specimens of everything and bring it
for exhibition.
Experienced judges will be supplied
by the North Carolina State Board of
Agriculture, so that there can. and .
will be no favoritism - shown, but. ev
erything will be judged upon its real
merits.
We hope that everybody will take
something that you consider worthy
of exhibition, whether the premium
list provides for it or not, take it to
the Fair.
Superintendent Dedmond is doing '
aU in, his power to make a ereditabje
showing in his department, that of
mineral,; forest, and, quarry, and- he
:earnestly requests that every one hav
ing any kind.' of mineral specimen
Secured in Polk county, should take it
to the Fair. Also asks all saw mill
and lumber men to take specimens pf
timber and lumber. Let us show the
world what Polk county, has in the
way of minerals and woods.
It is unnecessary to urge the good
women to take specimens of their
handiwork, for they always come up
with their part of the work. But
this year be sure and take anything
that pertains to food conservation,
and show your neighbor what you are
doing to help win the war.
