LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



West Ealeigh, N. C, March 23, 1917. 

 SiK :— Herewith I transmit a Report on the Soils, Agriculture, and 

 Industries of Mecklenburg County. The data on the soils included in 

 the report were gathered in a systematic soil survey of the county made 

 in 1910 in cooperation with the Bureau of Soils of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture. . 



In the recommendations with reference to the soils and their plant- 

 food requirements, we have been largely guided by the results scured in 

 carefully conducted soil-type field experiments in Mecklenburg and ad- 

 joining counties. 



I would recommend that this report be issued as County Report, 

 ]Sro. 1. Respectfully submitted, 



C. B. Williams, 

 ApproA'ed : Chief, Division of Agronomy. 



W. A. Graham. 



Commissioner of Agriculture.
