SILK WORMS EAT LETTUCE.
Food That Seems to Satisfy the Usefu
Little spinner Perfectly.


Food That Seems to Satisfy the Useful
Little spinner Perfectly.
Professor G.. w. Woodwork Of the
State University is engaged In breed
Ing silkworms which will thrive on
lettuce. 1t appears that the leaf Of the
lettuce Is nutritive equivalent, or
nearly so, of the leaf of the white null
berry, and is much cheaper product,
besides being available at all seasons
Of the year. The fact, however, that
the lettuce ard mulb rry leaf are chem
ically nearly Identical does not by
any means prove that the silkworm
will thrive upon lettuce or that the
quality Of the silk produced will equal
that produced on the natural food OF
the worm. We do not yet know
enough about the physiology of d.
gestion to say IN advance what can or
what cannot be done. Neither is 1t
certain that the natural period of pro-
ducing silk can be materially extended
or changed. 1t is the business of the
experiment station to find out such
things.
There Is no reason to doubt that in
any case a strain of silkworm can be
produced whose digestive apparatus
shall be adapted to d lettuce diet or
that by due process of selection a
good quality of silk can finally be
produced IN that way. Where the
outlook is so promising 1t is the duty
Of the experiment stations to inyestl-
gate Comparatively few experiments
bring results of much economic i'm
portance, but some do bring such re-
suits and all contribute to the sum of
human knowledge. Whether or not
the silk industry can be made CONNER
cially profitable in any country so
sparsely inhabited as California is I'M
certain, but Professor Woodworth's ex-
perlments are certainly Of Importance
to the industry and as such are worth
making whether the people of this
State derive immediate profit from
them or not.--San Francisco Chronicle.
