Ag'ent E. H. Gavrison. Interviewed
by The Pilot this week Mr. Garrison
said:
“The Moore County Fair this year,
I think, will be equally as good as
the one last year, which I thought
was a very creditable display of farm
products and livestock. The exhibits
of livestock and poultry will be equal
ly as good if not better than last
.vear, and there should be some keen
er competition along this line. Herds
anil flocks have been improved quite
a bit and a good many new exhibiters
will be on hand this fall. Through
some mistake, entries for Ayshire cat
tle were not made. This was an error
on our part in making up last year’s
and this year’s catalogue and was not
intentional. Rre'’^'prs of these cattle
are requested to put on anything they
have to display and the same prizes
will be paid for these as for the other
breeds.
“We have nev'er failed to get the co
operation of the people in our under
taking and I am sure that they will
back us up again this year. Even
