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: "Tallulah, Falls, Ga., Oct 13,1902. Mr. R. P. Wright, (Aes’t. Com.

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 of Agriculture, Raleigh, N. C.

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.
