OFFICE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
Raleigh, N. C., March 1st, 1878.
The collection and publication of statistics and facts relating to the industries and general condition of our people, and the physical resources and advantages of our State, is of the highest importance to us at this time. The tabulated statements made on the following pages contain information greatly sought for, especially by foreigners and citizens of other States, now that public attention is being attracted towards our State, and it is very important that it should be as accurate as possible. These statements as a rule were made by a class of our citizens whose constant employment on the farm gave them but little time to devote to other matters, and when we consider this fact, the reports are creditably full and correct. But as these tables are designed to be placed prominently and permanently before the public in the Hand-Book, for which I am collecting material, it is important that each county should be fully and faithfully represented. These advanced sheets are therefore sent to you for your examination, and should you find any omissions or errors in the statement for your county, will you do the Department and its Correspondents the favor to correct on the blank form accompanying this Report, and return to this office at your earliest convenience?
Your immediate attention would greatly oblige,
Yours Respectfully,
L. L. POLK,
Commissioner.
