PRODUGE-AMD SAVE
KEfNOTEJF FAIR
Big Feature of Rocky Mount
Fair Will Be Demonstra
tions to Teach Food Con
servation. 'r'ood Administrator Iterbert !.
Hoover and the I nited States Gove
rnment have reeogniwul that the
fans ot the country are one of the
greativst mediums through which, the
people can have the doctrine of "Pro-
luce aud Save" expound-d. to them,
bv -demonstrating the manner in which
the food Mipplv ot the country can
bo con rved and greater production
encouraged.
The great Kocky Mount Fair has
answered the call of the food adminis
trator and the govornment to aid in
this campaign of teaching tho peopln
how to produce and conserve the coun
try 's food supply. Mrj. Hoover says
that the people of America WH...0
noiigh food to feed th British armies
in Fiance and thei have food to spare.
The food administrator, therefore, has
given to ffieTTairs thlolighout tho na
tion, a big portion, of the, task ft
asking the people to stop this enor
mous waste and also to raise more anil
better food crops.
A big feature of the-Kocky Mount
fair will be the demonstrations put -
ing forth the "1'roduce aud Save"
ampaign. The various departments
will be in charge of superintendents,
who are well qualified to give expert
ad vino along the lines of canning,
poultry and live stock raising and all
matters relating to farm and garden
production. It is expected that those
interested will take advantage of the
presence) of these experts at ,the com
ing fair, ' w hich ' will result in great
benelit to all who are striving to fol
low the -food conservation dpctrinc.
The Navy Department has also ad
vised the fair officials that several big
pictorial displays will b- sent here for
fair week, showing the workings of
the Navy, and how the men are cared
for, which should prove infcerettting to
alL .
Of course there will be rich and
rare entertainment for all who wish it
but there is sufficient in the way of
instruction to make a A'isit to the fair
grounds highly beneficial and well
worth while.
For any information as to the
specit' "prizes ottered for i'orth Caro
lina food products' which prizes were
chiefly offered to stimulate interest in
the food conservation campaign ad
