The Womens silk Culture association regards
1tself as rather hardly treated. It's memorial
20 the Forty-eighth Congress, IL thinks, was
what procured the thirty thousand dollar ap-
preparation to the Agricultural department in
aid of silk cuture and it feels that it is justly
entitled To part of that money. The threat of
the department to discontinue It's official rela-
lions with the association after the 3Oth of
June causes some alarm to the women who
have labored so faithfully to put new Ameri-
can industry upon paying basis. 1t Is natural
that they should not enjoy seeing the hard
work Of six years thrown away. The cause of
the whole trouble is believed by the managers
OF the association TO be an ili-judged policy on
the part of the department. which distributes
eggs and seed gratuitousiy, instead OF leaving
the experimenters to provide their own plant,
and Offering, through the association, an al
ways open market for cocoons. As the Womens
Silk Culture association claims to have done
more for the encouragement of its especial in
dustry in this country than the Department of
Agriculture ever did, it seems as if the depart
ment ewed the public at least a clear explana-
tion of its reasons for cutting off the associations
stipend.

St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1886-07-03

On Saturday last the Executive
Committee of the Dem ocratic party
of West Feliciana appointed a COM
mittee to wait on Ex-Go Robert
G. Wickliffe, of that parish. and
urge him to submit his name to
the convention of the Sixth Dis
trict for the nomination for Con-
gress. Gov. Wick!iffe, after due
consideration, consented to comply.
We think, if there is to be change
made. st. Tammany parish is emit
tied to the next Congressman. We
take the responsibility without his
knowledge or consent, and not
knowing whether he would accept
the position) of suggesting the
name of Judge Jas. NJ. Thompson,
OF Covington. In patriotism, pub-
lie spirit, wisdom and intelligence
he is the peer of any man in the
State. and as a member of Congress
he would soon make record that
our people could point to with
pride and satisfaction.
