Wilkes orchardlsts and farm ers during the past week have been making preparations to ex hibit some excellent products in competition for premiums at the North Carolina state fair begin ning today. Brushy Mountain orchardlsts, successful at the state exposition over a long string of consecutive ysBrs, again wUl ri» for frnlt honors with their apples, which have a nation-wide reputation for excellence. Although late spring freezes cut the crop in half, sev eral of the orchards have some very fine specimens of various varieties for exhibition. The principal other crop to be exhibited from Wilkes will be corn, especially in the 4-H club department where at least 600 ears from Wilkes club members will be on exhibit. Entries have also been made in the open classes of general agricultural de partment. The principal variety to be ex hibited will be Wilkes County White, a variety having its origin in the county and which has nev er failed of high recognition in any fair wherer exhibited during the past decade. Wilkes county poultry raisers are also entering several specl- raents for exhibit. It will be recalled that last year they almost sweeped all the poultry prizes in competition with birds from all parts of the state. This indicates that Wilkes is very rapidly coming to the front .in poultry raising and is destined to be the state’s leader In that par ticular branch of the agricultural industry.
