LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



West Raleigh, K C, June 29, 1917. 



Sir: — Herewitli I transmit a Report on the Soils and Agriculture of 

 Union County. The data on the soils included in the report were gath- 

 ered in a systematic soil survey of the county made in 1914 in coopera- 

 tion Avith the Bureau of Soils of the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture. 



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

 food requirements we have been largely guided by the results secured in 

 carefully conducted soil-tyi^e field experiments in Union and adjoin- 

 ing counties. 



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

 No. 3. Respectfully submitted, 



C. B. Williams, 

 Chief, Division of Agronomy.
