Silk Culture In Georgia.
When the colony of Georgia was
first founded, it was intended to make
it a great silk-producing country; but
when the cotton gin was invented, the
fieecy staple came prominently to the
front and King Cotton, mounting his
throne, for a long time ruled Georgia
with despotic sway, supplanting all
other industries. But the time has
come for the old king to take a lower
place and share with ether industries
In promoting the strength and great*
ness of our noble commonwealth.
Efforts are being made to arouse
onoe more an interest among the peo
ple of Georgia in silk culture. North
Carolina has of late years mode some
progress on this line. Thinking that
there is something of promise to Geor
gia in .the silk industry, we publish
tftie following correspondence:

Soutliern Cultivator
ALL THREE ONE YEAR.
Tallulah Falls, Ga., DOct. 6, 1902.
To the Editor:
I note in the press with much inter
est that certain people of Georgia are
making worthy efforts to honor Gener
al James Edward Oglethorpe with the
erection of a monument to his memo
ry. This noble work is commendable
within itself.
One hundred and sixty-eight years
ago when General Oglethorpe first set,
tied the colony of Georgia, he encour
aged and introduced silk raising.
The press has given considerable
attention to my recent efforts to en
courage the people of Georgia to re
vive and reintroduce the raising of
silk. Since the commencement of my
actual operations in the Introduction
of silk-raising In this vicinity,. T ara
the reepient of a great number of let
ters from people throughout the state
and sister states with the general In
quiry, "How should we begin silk
raising?, a leading motive with them
being to improve their prpsent condl
tions and circumstances.
Many of the writers tell me that'
they are widows and some are in ill
health or other imperfect surround
ings which prevent them from earning
Ih nonest living. Bilk raiding is n
1 simple and light industry, lasting only
six weeks, but most people are ignor
ant of the art of -producing the raw
silk. S-ilk raising in Georgia would
diversify the products of the farm,
and afford, to many an acceptable in
crease of income.
I pm to offer the following sugges
tions to the people of our state, espe
cially to the more prosperous people
who have the Interests of the state at
heart and are able to assist those who
are not eo fortunate, especially those
people living in the rural districts
who need some, simple occupation, for
Instance; widows-, orphans! and even old
men who are too feeble to do any or
dinary field work. I will gladly answer
all letters and give all the information
at my command, as it is partly for this
purpose that I have located here, to
demonstrate the art of s-ilk raising to
the people of Georgia.
In the Southern States silk raising
can be introduced and made to pay.
I, therefore, appeal to the people of
Georgia in their own behalf, to form
an organization to be known a® “The
Silk Culture League of Georgia,” the
purpose of which shall be to collect
and acquire all proper information,
based on scientific methods, as to the
production and raising of s-ilk, and
through this Silk Culture League to
diffuse and encourage the knowledge
and art of silk raising in our state.
I have already mentioned this mat
ter to several prominent .Georgians,
who have the interest, of the farming
people of our state at Heart, inclu-d-ins
the commissioner and assistant com
them ready for operations when they
become lairge enough.”
The circular of Mr. McCarthy re
ferred to by Mr. Redding is as fol-j
lowa:
Free Mulberry Trees for Silk Growers!
The first season’s experience in silk
growing in North Carolina has proved
a most gratifying success. It haa-
demonstrated that the women and chil
dren of the State may, by light and in-
teresting work during six weeks of
early summer, earn, without interfer
ing seriously with their ordinary du
ties, at lest $30. Those Who can de
vote more time to the work may earn
much more.
To place silk growing upon a perma
nent basis we must increase the out
put of silk oocoonB to a volume which
will attract to the State silk reelers
and weavers, thus creating a homo
market for the product of the siilk
worm.
The first and most necessary step
is to increase the available supply of
silk worm food. W-e must plant mul
berry trees until each farm suited for
this kind of work has at least 100
treea. Every farm having dry soil,
lying betwen Goldsboro and States
ville or AB'heville, can successfully
grow silk.
In order to encourage the planting
of the mulberry, the State Department
of Agriculture will distribute among
the farmers- of North Carolina in lots
of 60 and 100 rooted seedling trees of
the varieties best suited- for feeding
the s-ilk worm. Not more than 100
will be sent to one person. Those
Who want more will be supplied at cost
prices. Wo do not recommend the
planting of more than 100 trees by any
farmer. Recipients of trees will be
required to pay postage or expressago
at the rate of 1 cent per tree. ‘ This
I must be enclosed with application.
Trees will be delivered during No
vember, which is the best month for
planting in this State. Full direc
tion® for planting and caring for the
trees will be sent to eaoh applicant.
Silk growing will prove a valuable
nature study, and a remunerative art
in school®, and is well worth the at
tention of all who have supervision
over educational institutions. It is
also well adapted for charitable insti
tutions. Public institutions which
wish to experiment with silk grow
ing, will be supplied with trees at a
nominal price.
Applications will be filled in the or
der of -reception.- Address, General
McCarthy, Biologist, N. C. Department

In “Georgia Historical and Industri
al,” published by this department in
the fall of 19Q1, is found the following
paragraph (page 347) :
“Silk Factories—-An industry which
in the last few years has- grown rap
idly in the United States- is the manu
facture of silk. In 1890 there were
718,360 spindles and 20,822 looms. In
1900 there were 1,426,246 spindles and
48,246 looms. It is mostly confined ito
the Northern States; but Virginia and
North Carolina have- entered tins field,
each with 30,000 spindles. North
Carolina has also 1,455 looms, and Vir
ginia 350.
“Although Georgia was originally in
tended to be a silk-producing country, 1
at this time the State is taking no part
in tnis business. Yet the founders
of the colony of Georgia thought that
its chief industry would be the pro
duction of raw silk. General Ogle
thorpe in- speaking of the possibilities
of the colony said: • ‘It -must be a
weak hand- indeed, that cannot earn
bread where s-ilk worms and white mul
berry trees- are so plentiful.’ Perhaps
at some future day Georgia wall real
ize. in this industry the expectations
of its founders.”
The Department of Agriculture of
Georgia heartily indorses' every effort
to introduce a new industry into our
State.
