Col. l. L. Polk:
DEAR SIR: | feel gratified in an
nouncing to you, as the ~discoverer of
a very rare plant, shortia galercifolia.
i'll the mountains of this State, last
summer. The plant has been thorough
" analized by Professor Asa Gray and
other eminent botanists and no man
has collected it for - years. There
is n fruited specimen in the her
barium of the Jardine DeS Plantes in
Paris, and this the only American
specimen known to exist, except those
| collected in full flower, the last sea-
son Prof. Gray says he has written
for 40 years together with who have dill
igently sought to find it, but all efforts
proved unsuccessful. | am in hopes
to obtain some more specimens mex
season, and if successful will present
one to the museum.
Very truly yours,

Apex, n. c., Oct. Goth, 1873.

Editors Farmer and Mechanic:
l propose to write a few lines for the
benefit of our farmers. | appeal to
them in all candor to stop making cot
ton only as a surplus crop. Now cot
ton is selling for ST cents, and it is
sinking the farmer for this reason,
that it eos three-fourths of the farm
ers in North Carolina 10 cents a pound
to raise it, that three fourths are men
that buy their supplies to make it with,
and that on a credit of 12l cents per
pound for Baltimore pork, for it is
nothing more, for in twenty days from
the time it is slaughtered it is eaten
up; Corn at a dollar per bushel, and
when the farmer was selling their cot
ton at Is and 90 cents per pound and
paying about the same price for pork
and corn, they get in debt, and how
on earth do they expect to get out Of
debt and sell their cotton i cents less
than itlcost them to produce it: Now
count two items of the cost Of making
cotton. GuanO first, "a curse to the
farmer s. per acre 200 pounds at ,
cents per pound 81; this is at the ware
house. Now the hauling and putting
in the ground one half cent per pound,
that makes the So; then picking out
half bag to the acre and hauling to
