THE SILK CULTURE
IN THE OLD DAYS


To the editor OF The Journal:
Your editorial of the first Of September
on silk culture in Georgia reminded me
Of the thirties or fOrties at the time the
first fair was held in Atlanta.
About 1885 there was quite an excitement
in our county, Henry which then went up
10 Atlanta. One spring everybody got SILK
worm eggs The agent passed through
selling French mulberry buds at cents
a bud a sorig a foot long. having or 10
eyes or buds on it. In one year one eye
would make perhaps 1000 eyes. Some OF
the farmers bought enough to plant or
& acres of it. Our family bought none but
we raised worms on the young and tender
1eav of the native mulberry. The eggs
batehed as soon as the mulberry com
n,enced to bud. We children had TO nus
tie in the early morning to get leaves.
The greatest drawback was to get old
nevvsnapers to spread the eggs on. as
there was no newspaper that came 10 our
house but the weekly Augusta chronicle.
The attending to the worms was eXcluhB
and amusing to us children.
I have not time or space to follow them
through their career, but we made SILK
and spun it into yellow thread. And l
could raise it now as 1 saw and did IL
then and would be glad to give anyone
who is thinking of going into raising silk
my experience. 1t is easily done and a
s1rec rop. but will it pay now. But to
the Atlanta fair. There was man and
his wife in our settlement that had no
children who were cOnsidered wealthy
Thev went into the silk culture rather ex-
tensivelv. The good lady made lot OF
jeans, or silk and and lambs wool clotn'

which she made a quantity OF, and sent
it by him to the fair for a premium. HIS
cloth got the premium-a silver cup, worth
then a dollar or so. He was so elated by
getting the premium he never thought Of
the cloth but left it and carried the cup,
which was not worth one-tenth as much
as the cloth, to his wife. She did not
wait to give him curtain lecture, but
sent him post haste for her cloth, which
she made him a winter suit OF. l, a
boy, have seen him wear it on many oc-

COTTON PlCKERS POISONED
BY PARIS GREEN DUST

PARIS, Tex, Sept. PA report reaches
here of a wholesale poisoning, which is
said to have occurred in the forks of the
Red river and the Kiamitia, in Indian

worms were doing damage. There had
been but little rain since the Paris green
was applied.
Three or four days ago seven cotton

to work in the patch where the poison
had been applied. Late in the evening
they became sick and during the night all
Of them are reported to have died. Their
