Uncle John,
Thete are many countries in the
world that are not so fortunate in
having climatic and geological
conditions like the United Stites,
hence they cannot raise silk. The
fact is that when the United State?
Was in its infancy, known as Co
lonial days, exported raw silk that
was produced in th>«olony as well
as in Mexico and numerous sec
tions comprising the present Unit
ed States, the work’-was promoted
by the kings of IJngland, who wore
the sponsors of the colonies for the
special reason that England de
sired to prevent the sending of her
gold to foreign countries for raw
silk and rather wished to send their
money to their kin folk in Ameri
can colonies, which was, of course,
a part of England.
Silk is like cotton. When cot
ton is picked from the fields it
does not become commercially val
uable until it is ginnned or freed
from the lint. So it is in the silk,
the production of It is the simplest
thin*. Unwinding of the cocoon
and making the thread ready for
tho market and leaver is the par
ticular work, Tljere is, of course,
good machinery Tor .the purpose,
but as yet I believe it remains for
some one in America to invent an
improved machine to cheapen the
cost of unwinding the cocoon. In
187^ and American in the state of
New York invented a machine for
the unwinding of cocoons and it is
largely used today in France and
Italy. It all goes to show that if
the United States takes up silk cul
ture in the proper way, interesting
our farmers and capitalists, the
growing genius of the American in
Ventive power will lead in silk cul
ture as she leads in other things,
The world’s total crop in IgOO
was about 36,000,000 pounds.
From this amount the United
Slates purchased in foreign lands
one-third of the world’s crop at a
cost of forty-five million dollars.
In addition we have imported twen
ty-eight million dollars worth of
manufactured silk fn the form of
dress goods, ribbons, Velvets and
plushes. And the United States
government collected fifteen mil-
ture of silk. For in a period of six j TALLULAH FALLS,

The state of Texas is represented
to have 6^2,000 persons employed
in agriculture and is two and a
half times as large as Italy, If it
is possible for Italy's six hundred
thousand persons engaged in silk
raising, aside from their other oc.
cupations, to produce fifty million
dollars worth of raw silk, why
should it not bo possible for the
state of Texas to do likewise? Let
Texas produce twenty-five million
dollars and it Would be equal to one
third in value of her largest crop,
cotton. Silk is a money crop as
staple as gold from tho mine.

tinued to hurt her silk crop and the
farmers getting discouraged the
government immediately stepped
in and created what is known as

which was to discover and arrest
the disease that has beep killing

It was unsuccessful in discover

finding a remedy, and now looks
