Corn Club Winners at
the State Fair
West Raleigh, Oct. 29—Teddy Nichols of Purlear, North Carolina,
in Wilkes county, had the best ten-ear club exhibit of corn at the State Fair,
winning first place in the exhibit from the mountain counties, and third place
in the sweepstakes contest open to both adults and children from over the
entire State. Wayne Monday of Weaverville, in Buncombe county, won second
place, and Duncan Wygall of the same place won third price in the exhibits from
the mountain counties of the state.
For the Piedmont section, Hugh Leonard of Lexington, In
Davidson county, won first prize for the best exhibit of corn from this
section. E.P. Roberts of Stem, in Granville county, won second prize, and Harry
Baker of Newton, in Catawba county won third prize.
In the Coastal Plain counties, William Sanders of
Weeksville, in Pasquotank county, won first prize; Cecil Brake of Rocky Mount,
in Edgecombe county, won second, and Herman R. White of Elizabeth City, in
Pasquotank county, won third.
According to Mr. S.J. Kirby, Specialist in Crop Clubs, who
has charge of this department for the State Fair, the exhibits made up by club
boys this year were not up to their usual standard, due to a large measure to a
poor growing season.
The clubs had only about 100 exhibits of corn this year.
