Plan for Carload State Fair Exhibits by 4-H Clubs
A suggested plan by A G Oliver poultry club agent proposes shipping a solid carload of county 4 H exhibits to the state fair. Youths would present poultry canned goods pigs corn and more at community and county fairs then ship to Raleigh with funding from local business groups. The idea aims to showcase county talent with banners and organized transport to reduce delays and losses at the fair. Irregular counties have shown strong support and hope to fund freight with local associations.
