He also told them how they could be fed to get the best benefits. It was not long before Ihe project pointed toward the barn yard and it was decided that the hen was a productive fowl and ways and means could be brought about, by proper care and feeding, that would enable her to lay a bigger and bet ter egg. The Johnston County farm er was off to new sight.-. Johnson saw his project grow and when he departed this clime, for another step in agricultural work, he toss ed the baton to H. F. Palmer, who has proven a worthy successor. The shows have grown from year to year and the 1965 event is expect ed to be the biggest ever. It is true that there will be only two days of the show this year, but the qualify of the ham and eggs, to be displayed, and sold, is ex pected to be better. The hams have been properly processed and the eggs well candled. Those products were moved m the National Guard Armory Wednesday morning and the judges went to work. Only ex perts are chosen for this unwel comed job and when they have put their approval on the farm wares they are accepted by any authority. Both sexes are permitted to en ter exhibits. Four-Hers, boys and girls have exhibited their wares and are known to have taken the coveted prizes. Johnnie Williams, Clayton. Rt. 1, exhibited the Grand Champion Ham last year and it was sold to the Jordan Motor Co. Smithfield, Rt. J. showed off the Grant Champion Eggs, which brought $25.00 from Stancil Oil and Tire Company. Eggs that sell for more than $2.00 a piece must, be some eggs. The show is sponsored by the Smithfield Chamber of Commerce and. the Agricultural Extension Service of North Carolina. The how has not only spurred the Johnston County farmer on, in rais ing better hogs and chickens, but the program of the extension de partment has opened his eyes to many other farm features that are paying off. The cattle industry has moved a long ways from the old “Stock Law Fence' and now farm ers are realizing great yields from this industry. Mrs. Lucy O. Toole. Home Agent, has projected a new image in the home life of the farmer and beau tiful homes, with modern conven iences. have sprung up throughout the county. The family no longer has to be “carried" by the land owner from one harvest to another, A Salute The CAROLINIAN, in its public service to its community, along with the Johnston County merchants listed herein, is hap py to salute the 18th annual Johnston County Ham &■ Egg Show. The event is a credit to the ingenuity of the sponsors, the stability of the participants and a credit to Johnston Coun ty. . i The paper has been associat ed wth the show for a number of years and looks forward to pro moting it every year. The mer chants, who take advertising space, are also happy to greet the persons who make the show possible and those who take part. This is evidenced by the fact that they have taken space to not only sell their wares, but to say welcome. These mer chants show, by this gesture, that they appreciate what the show means to them and they also appreciate the business that they enjoy from the people of Johnston County. We hope those of you who have need of their wares will visit them and prove to them that you represent an integral part of the economy of Johnston County and that you will spend your money where it will buy the most and above all with people who exhibit a spirit of fair play, courtesy and appre ciation. but if it is industrious and thrifty the entire family can take part in projects that will give subsistence throughout the year.
