Corn Club Members to
Compete for Prizes at State Fair
West Raleigh, N.C., Sept. 16—for the purpose of making the
corn club exhibit at the State Fair this fall the great success that it should
be Secretary Joseph E. Pogue announces that prizes totaling nearly $200 will be
offered to cub members sending in competitive exhibits to the Fair October 20
to 25th. The society has also offered to pay the express charges on
the exhibits from the boys’ home to the Fair grounds, having the corn properly
cared for and put on display after arrival without any expense to those boys
making exhibits.
Mr. S.J. Kirby, Specialist in Plant Clubs for the
Agricultural Extension Service, will have charge of the club exhibit. He states
an exhibit shall consist of 10 good ears of uniform shape, size and color, and
represt the type of corn grown on the club acre. After these 10 ears have been
carefully selected, each one should be carefully wrapped separately, and packed
in a small box, together with a section of the stalk. The stalk may be cut off immediately
below the bottom ear and above the top one.
Club members have been asked also to send their record book
completed up until the date on which the exhibit leaves home. Unless this
record book is sent in, the exhibit will not be eligible for any of the first
premiums. ….
