couldn't sell for enough to pay for their

Evening star., 1944-05-28
BY Trudi Mccullough,
Associated Press Staff Writer.

NEW YORK-Within two years, says
one enthusiastic sericulturist, America
will be producing within her own bound
aries all the silk she needs.
Others-arguing that nylon will
foment a bear market for postwar silk
and that the Orient and rayon still are
to be contended with-say that amount
need not be much.
But Walter S. Roberts, head man of
new silk-producing company, is con-
V1nced that his outfit is in possession of
device-a semiautomatic cocoon reel
ing machine-that may be the cotton
gin of the silk industry.
Equal enthusiasm is evinced by an
outstanding trade paper, Women's Wear
Daily, which says, THE machine is likely
to acquire international significance.
1t is expected to revolutionize
the processing of silk and make the
United States an independent producer
of silk textile fiber"
Labor Problem
The prohibitive factor to American silk
production in the past has not been the
inability to raise white mulberry trees
and silkworms, but the high cost OF
American labor as compared with the
penny wage scale of the japanese
For the tedious eye-straining work of
unreeling silk cocoon the japanese
worker received IS cents for an 11-hour
day. 1t takes him 100 days to reel bale
of silk.
With the American machine-which
combines one of mans oldest inventions,
the spindle, with one of his newest, the
electric eye-Roberts claims a bale of
silk can be reeled in seven days. The
American worker receives SO to IS day.

said. His method is to slap them down
with his heavy paw, breaking their
backs Often bear will kill a eve in
the spring when she is sucking a lamb,
eat the udder and leave the rest of the
carcass"
DetrIment to War Effort.
On January 26, 1914, the 10th annual
convention of the National Wool Grow
ers' Association, at Denver, Colo, de-
clared in resolution:
"The loss of livestock through preda-
tory animals is of such serious propor-
tions that every available means for
predatory animal control and eradica-
tion should be perfected The loss is
not confined to the livestock industry,
but is detriment to the war effort
through the destruction and lack of pro-
duction of food and fiber"
Until recently nothing much could be
done to halt the steady advance of the
predators. Copper was needed to make
cartridges and shells-and copper had
been drafted for war. Steel for traps
had been swallowed up by ships, tanks
and guns. Poisons normally used had
been cut off at the source by the foe.
Above ALL many hunters and trappers
had sped off to war plants or into the
armed forces. Even the Government,
while laying out millions to step up
food production, was supplying less cash
to save livestock from it's enemies
Today counter measures are afoot but
they give scant encouragement to the
West Stockmen generally are resigned
TO higher percentage of loss until war
slackens off and an all-out battle
against depredations can be resumed,
Ammunition for Hunters.
It's true, ammunition is being turned
out again in limited quantities for hunt
ers. Civilian production had reached a
low Of 1914 per cent of normal supply
last year. For the first nine months
this year, ALLEGATIONS of materials by
the WPB will permit manufacture of
about As per cent of the 1941 civilian
ammunition production. Shiny steel
traps once more are barring their busi-
nesslike teeth on dealers shelves. Con-
gress appears ready to grant a small
increase in funds for predator control
But the chief catch remains: The men
to shoot the skulking animals and set
the wicked traps are busy elsewhere.
The battle to protect domestic animals
and fowl from wild beasts started with
the earliest settlers. Today, much of
the fight has been won. Gray wolves,
once great scourge, have been prac-
tically eradicated. The East and Mid
west have been practically rid of serious
livestock peril Predatory animals have
been confined mainly to the II Western

New Silk Industry Started

The net effect of these figures would be
to put labor costs in this country on a
level around 40 per cent less than in
Japan.
Made Careful Study
Roberts became sericulturist by ac-
cident. In 1907, when he was a silk
manufacturer, he bought weaving and
throwing mill that had belonged to the
James McCreery Co. With the mill, he
inherited superintendent who had
been silk grower in France and a
student of Pasteur.
Roberts found that:
The silkworm can be raised anywhere
the white mulberry can grow; that it
can grow in any one of the 48 States,
but most abundantly in Texas, Arizona,
New Mexico and California; that the
cost of labor was the only thing to keep
the United States out of the silk mar
ket. He saw a reeling machine as the
answer to the labor problem.
Roberts consulted the Universal Wind
ing Co. of Providence, r. T., the worlds
largest builders of f1ne-thread machines,
Universal, with the aid of a Danish in
ventor, Gus Beekman, built the ma.
chine.
BY this time, Roberts had formed a
company called Anscowain; today the
company has nine of the machines (they
cost $4,000 to build) in operation and a
tenth on order.
The company is not in the silk-raising
business. 1t simply buys silk cocoons
and goes on from there. 1t does, how
eyer, seek to organize and interest
chambers of commerce, individuals and
communities in silk growing.
This year, the people Anscowain has
been able to interest produced crop Of
1000 mulberry trees. From them
Anscowain expects to get 5000 pounds
of silk.
