Kansas : L worms.

One OF the interc ing appropriations
made at the recent session OF Congress

enable the agricultural department to
mako experiments i'll the raising OF silk
WORMS and the production OF raw silk ID

Kansas evidently had come experience
with elk culture, and il the Wichita
Eagle fairly understands the result
Kansas people will not ask Secretary
Wilson to expend my portion OF this
$1,000 III their state. The Eagle says:
-Kansas' experience with the silk worm
proved several things. Among others,
that the silk worm would pass n mul-
berry tree by to eat himself cross Dyed
on Usage orange leaves; that he was rs
delicate rs q Poland China hog in
cholera times, and that he demanded as
much attention rs n teethinG baby i'll
summer, AT first there were visions Of
fortunes in every townshIp,aud IDEAS OF
forcing France into bankruptcy became
general throughout Kansas. But by
the time eight thousand individual
kRnsans had crawled out o: bed at mid.
night to roll n French worm over on his
back and feel his pulse, the anti.silk
worm movement in Kansas grew quite
vigorous. and the silk worm propaganda
go far rs this Stano was concerned.

Tins isn't saying the silk industry
couldn't be made to succeed in Kansas.
