The Chowan County Fair: The
Chowan County Fair is under
way this week with the largest
display of exhibits perhaps .in
the history of the fair. Exhibits
are njst only extensive in num
ber but ?t'e exceptionally good
in quality. \
In the Junior booth exhibits,
Advance Jr. 4-H Club placed
first, Oak Grove 4-H Club was
second, Center Hill Jr. 4-H
Club wis third, Enterprise
placed fourth and Rocky Hock
placed fifth. All of these were
very good exhibits and the
’ judges had a difficult time ren
dering their decisions.
In the Senior Youth booth ex
hibits the John A. Holmes
School FHA look first place.
The Chmfnn High School FHA
placed second. Center Hill Sr.
‘4-II Club was third. Chowan
FFA Chapter'** was' fourth and
the John A. Holmes High School
Band exhibit was fifth.
‘•ln the ; adult booth exhibit
class. Beech Fork Home Dem
onstration Club placed first,
Byrd Home Demonstration Club
placed second and the Negro
YMW booth placed third. All.
of these exhibits also are of ex
cellent quality.
Wo will have to say “h<i«s 'off" i
to the Advance Community. 4-H |
Club for being judged the Grand'
Champion booth of the fair, j
This booth portrays the import
ance of good nutrition and good;
eating habits for teenagers.
Field crops and horticultural
exhibits arc extensive and. good.
On Monday night, we were
just completely overloaded with!
exhibits when Fair President 1
Robert Marsh came along and!
gave us two! additional booth
spaces. This greatly reduced!
the pressure hut stilE leaves us.
crowded. I think we have ex
cellent exhibits in corn, cotton, j
soybeans, sweet potatoes, Irish;
potatoes, and many other crops.;
The horticultural exhibits are;
ahe most extensive we
have evernad. These involve j
most of the vegetables grown!
commercially and in gardens of)
■■ Chowan County. Many people;
have come by and wondered;
where in the world so many

beautiful watermelons came
from at this time of the year. I
In this exhibit are entries of
certified Nugget sweet potatoes
and certified Gold Rush sweet
potatoes entered by Wilbert
Harp of Cross Roads community,
j. One booth is devoted to a
display of six ears of each of
the varieties of corn grown in
a corn variety demonstration on
Hayes Farm of Gilliam Wood
this year. Each variety is
clearly labeled. Hanging on a
post at the booth are informa
tion sheets giving various in
formation on Ihe varieties as
found in the field this year as
well as the yield of dry corn. .
We hope that those who are in- '
terested will take one of these 1
for any help it may be to therm
in the future. It might be in
teresting for you to know that
this demonstration averaged 127
bushels of 15.5% moisture corn ’
, per acre. I
This is truly an outstanding’
county fair. This morning, a
person came up to me after
having visited the Virginia
State Fair at Richmond. He
commented that in his opinion'
we had just about as many ex
hibits and certainly as good if
■ not better quality exhibits than
i lie observed at the Virginia fair, i
j While we are not trying to com-
, pete with a great fair like the 1
I Virginia State, we are proud
I that this visitor gave us this!
j opinion of his observation, j
Frankly, I believe our Exhibits,
compare excellently with those
at our North Caroling State
Fair in years past. |
This is only a brief resume
of your Chowan County Farr
and the only way that you can
really appreciate this fair and
Ihe exhibits is to come and see
I for yourself. We hope that all
. people in Chowan County, our
neighboring countie's, and any
I others who have the chance will
| visit our County Fair.
ROTARIANS MEET TODAY i
Edenton Rotarians will meet
this (Thursday) afternoon at 1
o’clock in the Parish House.
President Richard Atkinson is
very anxious to register a 100
percent meeting.
