COL. POLK'S THIRD QUARTER
u LY REPORT.
OFFICE OF DEPT OF AGRICULTURE
IMMIGRATION AND STATISTICS.

AND OTAIlSIlCS.
Raleigh, N. c., January 18th, 1878.
To the Honorable the Board of Agri-
culture, Immigration and Statistics
GENTLEMEN In compliance with sec.
3, art. z, of your bylaws, l nave the
honor to submit this, my third quar-
terly report of the operations of this
Department.
Being kindly relieved by our body
at its regular meeting in October, of
presenting a formal report for the
second quarter, the work during that
period will be embodied in the follow
ing, as it is important that the general
desire among the people to be informed
as to the progress OF a work so init
mately connected with their interests,
should be respected and gratified.
Although the Department is yet in
its infancy, and embraces in its gen.
eral system, as contemplated by the
act establishing it, the development of
highly important and varied interests.
and although it has had to meet those
difficulties which seem to be unavoid-
able in the Inauguration of any enter
prise of magnitude, it is gratifying to
state that our work thus far has been
received with interest and favor among
our people. 1t has enjoyed the cordial
and generous support of almost the en-
tire press of the State, and from a cor
respondence now established with al
most every county and almost every
township in the State, l am constantly
receiving assurances of the enthusiastic
support of the people. Not only does
it receive their general appreciation,
but it is honored with kindly notices
and the warm endorsement of many
of the leading journals and prominent
officials of other States.
CORRESPONDENCE AND REPORTS.
Besides the correspondence and ex-
change effected with Department oth-
Gals of other States, | nave now
a list of special correspondents COM
prlsing from one TO three citizens
to every county, and one to almost
every township. Through their assis-
lance l am enabled to collect and dis
seminate such information as relates to
our industrial interests, to distribute
seeds for experiment, to collect speci-
mems OF the native products of their re-
spectlve counties, etc. During the
past year / compiled and distributed

Swedish juniper and various ~so-called
golden" evergreens. arbor vltaes,
yews, &c. but by far the most perfect
and beautiful of the yellow tints l. to
be found in Retinospera plumosa. THIS
very desirable evergreen Is especially
adapted to our climate also. 1t with
stands all extremes Of heat and cold.
Among the unusual and striking
tints that ma be introduced into our
winter garden Of e~vergreens, Is the
purple of thuya incoides, the reddish
purple of the heath-leaved juniper, and
The very lovely and unique maroon,
lit up with golden edges or the arbor
vita. known as Rollinson'S E~legantis-
sima.
The last named plant, seen in sum
mer, is of a modest green, tipped with
yellow, and it is only in winter that it
puts on its gay attire.
The Pines also, from the sombre : us
trian 70 the light feathery plumes of
the white pine, and the beautiful silver
of pines excelsa, may take a place in
the picture to be wrought up for the
delight Of the eve in the winter land
scape. Then there are spotted ancubas,
the green carpet of juniperus prostrata,
the deep black green Of the p~odocarpus,
the brilliant new variegated forms Of
enanymus, and d world of good things
to weave into harmonies, even though
the flowers are locked in wintrv slum-
bers.
ONE POINTS OF DEFENCE AGAINST OUR
SEC ENEMIES.
In the greenhouse, at this season,
trouble is apt to come upon us un-
awares. The plant that was so thrifty
and vigorous, in spite of hot fires and
careful attention, as we think, gra-
dually turns brown, the leaves curl
slowly and drop, or a be crushed in
the hands to powder. Look on the
under side of the leaf, and it is better
to do so with q pocket lens-the tiny
ball moving about, so rapidly is the
villain at work-the red spider. Put a
little -four of sulphur in a vessel of
water, and when you a open the
house to the sun air, of which we have
many such days, syringe the plants
vigorously it nay require repeated
trials through the winter. Indeed, the
best way thoroughly to defend ones
plants i'll a collection of any size is to
take the offensive promptly.
Should the aphis or green bug, ap-
pear (as he surely willy a few may be
pinched off with the finger, but it will
often be desirable to place some to-
bacco stems in a pan of Goals, and
close the house, leaving it to be well
fumigated with the smoke. The second
application rarely fails of complete
success.
Scale is a close-clinging and destruc-
tive little pest, found with mealy bug
in almost all our greenhouses F.; some
times, l am sorry to say, sent to us
from houses where neglect has crept
in, and the stock is not kept clean.
The remedy is the use of warm water,
say not less than 1859 to 1867. Some
tender leaves may be hurt, but your
enemy is on the thick stem, and he
must be d~islodged. A toothbrush or
small paint brush will be found useful
with which to operate in obstinate
cases. Free sunshine, plenty of ar on
warm days, and Swinging, will keep
all in better trim to meet these minute
but deadly foes.
