From Extension-Farm News, published by the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service at N.C. State University, January, 1950.

Two farm boys from Pasquotank and Iredell counties recently received sectional honors in the 1949 production and marketing contest of the National Junior Vegetable Growers Association, according to L.R. Harrill.

The boys are Seth Wilson Scott, 17, of Elizabeth City, and Billy Bryan Cansler, 16, of Troutman, each of whom won $100 of the $6,000 scholarship fund provided each year by A & P Food Stores to encourage better production and marketing of vegetables by farm youth.


The awards were presented in Washington on December 15 as the Association concluded its 15^th annual convention.
