Boys Demonstrate How
They Won State Prize
Three Polk county 4-H club boys
from Green Creek demonstrated
before the Tryon Kiwanis club on
Tuesday just how they won first
place at the recent North Carolina
State Fair in the Crop Judging
contest. The boys, Harold Weav
er, Bruce Cantrell and Joe Stock
ton, put trays of corn, wheat,
clover, etc., on the table and then
examined the seeds in front of the
club members, then they gave their
reasons why each sample of seeds
was awarded first, second, third
or fourth place according to qual
ity. The knowledge and ability
of the boys was very impressive
and their teacher, assistant county
agent Sam Dobson, came in for
much praise when County Agent
J. A. Wilson explained the difficul
ties of teaching proper judging.
