OF cotton to the acre at $4,000, the crop of
which it takes months to mako and

add now only this: You are happy.
You can have both the crops, cotton and
silk and both the industries too, and the
wiser will raise them both.
This statement gives a correct idea of
the profits to be derived from the culture
of silk in North Carolina. am satisfied
that this industry can be successfully
prosecuted in Louisiana at even a smaller
cost than the ABOVE figures. It was my
intention to give you with this commu-

Of by Commissioner Polk, but thinking
it best for your readers to study this sub
iect in short lessons, will ask you to re-
serve space in your next tissue for the
same. Hoping that my time has not

ana shall be known as a prosperous silk
growing district, remain Sir,

thus it will be seen that North Carroll
ma appreciates the advantages to be deriv-
ed from silk culture, and but for the pro-
mise OF Mr.. Crozier to give Louisiana the
preference of his presence, that gentle-
man would now be among those people
laying the foundation of an enterprise
which would convert any country p POSSESS
ing the natural advantages here offered
the richest Eldorado of the world. Tn
letter to Mr.. Crozier, I asked for infor-
nation as to the probable cost of the cul.
ture OF silk, and he wrote:
think that what you want is to prove
and con vince the people that silk culture
Is apaying enterprise. As do not like
to give all statements of my own, (be.
couse people would say am only anxious
to sell my trees,) L send you one already
made by Mr.. Edward Fosnach, of Raleigh.
N. q. This gentleman, who, by tho way,
is successful silk raiser, after af1irma-
lively settling the question as to whether
1T pays, says: at has been Experimental
that two acres of good, medium sized
pounds, of leaves for orc pound of cocoons
10000 pounds will give us 1.765 pounds
of fresh cocoons, which dried for export
will then only weigh 5SS pounds, as they

the cocoons were selling in 1876 at 8 dol
