REASONS FOR ENGRAVING
TO NORTH CAROLINA.
BY GEO. ALLEN, ESQ, IN HOME
SEEKERS GUIDE.

North Carolina is easv of access.
The Old Dominion and Bay line of
steamers will carry emigrants from
New York at very low rates.
The climate is mild. The Their
mometer seldom falls below "a
degrees above zero in winter, and
seldom rises above 90 in summer.
enabling the farmer and merchanic
to plough and labor all the year.
The soil is usually Of light, sandy
nature, and easily cultivated, with
light plows or harrowS.
The growing season lasts from
February to November, enabling the
farmer to obtain double crops from
a portion Of his land. The pea and
potato crops are planted in February
and sold in May.
The culture of early truck is now
carried on to considerable extent
with profit, and can be indefinitely
increased.
The transportation f'cilities for
marketing produce Of all kinds is
ample and quick.
The heavy products, corn, whe It,
hay, rice, pork and cotton. are worth
nearly as much at the farmers near
est depot, as they would be in New
York or Baltimore.
Land is abundant and cheap, and
can be purchased in small or large
quantities, as desired and at prices
which the settler can afford.
Materials for fertilizing are abund
ant, and consist of mari, swamp muck
or peat, decayed vegetation and cot
ton seed, together with the use of the
cow pea and native plants for plough
ing under green.
Labor to assist in clearing and
d tching lands n be obtained a;
low rates.
Good, pure, soft cool water is now
being obtained at depth of from
twenty to thirty feet, at moderate
cost.
The general health of North
Carolina will compare favorably with
any portion of the United States,
provided reasonable care is taken to
have proper supply of good food
and water.
Owing to our mild climate, abund
ant supply of native and acclimated
grasses, the forage plants (crab grass
Bermuda grass, and Guinea grass
COW pea, miIlet, durra, oats and rice,
all grow luxuriantly. Cattle, sheep
and hogs can be proftably raised Oh
any farm.
North Carolina is quiet, conserv-
alive State, and now contains larger
proportion of Northern born citizens
than any other Southern State. Her
public debt has been carefully ad-
iusted. Taxes are not heavy. I'm
migrants are desired, and cordially
invited; and with the arrangements
for cheap transportation, family can
pay their fare to North Carolina
from New York and purchase
moderate farm for what it would cost
to go West.
Public schools are in every county.
Normal schools are held every yea
at the States expense. There are
over fifty Cotton Factories in the
State. A large amount of capital is
invested in mining, and also in the
manufacture of tobacco. Lumber is
abundant and cheap, suitable for
building or for manufacturing pur-
poses.
