LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



Raleigh. October 29, 1910. 



To HoA. W. A. Gkaham, Commissioner of Agriculture. 



Deak Sir: — I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript 



covering the results of our investigation into the amounts of the 



different food and feed products annually shipped into this State 



from outside sources. The results of our investigation were not 



entirely satisfactory, as the great majority of the parties addressed 



failed to reply, and many of those who did reply gave us only a 



partial list of the articles called for. On the whole, however, I think 



the manuscript worthy of publication as a special bulletin of this 



Department, as it gives us a partial insight into existing conditions, 



and may suggest lines for future development. 



Hespectfully submitted, 



J. L. Burgess, 



Agronomist.
