Development of County Fair in Pontotoc County
The Pontotoc county Fair grew from a small East Central College exhibit to a countywide event with a race track grandstand and free admission. Funds came from Ada businessmen initially, then state law funds supported premiums. Township fairs expanded, six now run before the county fair. Boys and girls clubs led by J B Hill and Mrs Elva Duvall boosted exhibits, with strong livestock showing and premium totals over $600. J B Hill showcased county farm exhibits year round, drawing out of town interest.

Farmers of Pontotoc County Adapt to Hard Times
Faced with low cotton prices and boll weevil destruction, Pontotoc County farmers diversified. They expanded livestock and poultry, grew cucumbers and melons, raised Spanish peanuts, and hogged down corn with peas in the middles. About 100 hog cars shipped since January brought modest profits, while many sold produce locally and pursued truck farming as a lifeline.
