Every farm having dry soil, lying be-

Asheville, can successfully grow silk
I'm order to encourage the planting
of the mulberry the State Department
of Agriculture will distribute among
the farmers of North Carolina ia lots
of fifty and one hundred rooted seed
ling trees of the varieties best suited
for feeding the silkworm. Not more
than 100 will be sent to one person.
silk growing will prove valuable as
nature study and a remunerative art
in schools and is well worth the at
tention of all who have supervision
over educational institutions. 1t is also
well adapted for charitable tnstitu-
tons. Public institutions which wish
to experiment with silk growing will
be supplied with trees"
North Carolina is only one Of the
possible States for the growing of silk,
this scientist says, according to the
New York Times. He expects a wide
range for its production before many

understood to be ia the vicinity Of $4,000
annually.
Now that the Rutland railroad has no
station, or almost none, at this point the
Delaware q Hudson people are beginning
to kick on the size Of their bill. It is un-
derstood that negotiations have been going
on regarding this point but that the Rut-
land road Is unwilling TO give in, and it is
said 20 be among the possibilities that the
Delaware & Hudson will break off aego-
tiations and erect its own station and put

The local railroad men will give out
nothing on the matter, however, and infor-
nation on the matter has been obtained
