Then came the Morus Multi caulis f ever.wilder than the Dutch tulip mania of two centuries ago, and more ruinous ; : for it was not only disastrous to private fortune but itr: blasted for many .futurd year's the vigefr of . the young industry. .Speculatiog: iri multi caulis buds became; the rage.:. Some at first madefortuneSjUumsandsinore were ruined ; for. Multicaulis multiplied be yond any possible use, : ahd could neitaer oe soia or given away, ine bubble no tst, and collapsed naoce rapid ly than it was blown up; and multi caulis- -and the silk worm, went down together in disgrace amicLthfe. execra tions of thousands of deceived enthusi asts. Kage; seized the minds of : the victims--and the innscent mulberry, though tenacious of life as the hated Auanthus, was so ruthlessly extirpated that1 some years since, when an effort was made in coni unction with, certain French experts " to TevlWthie silk in dustry,' sufficient surviving plants could nowhere be found in the State except m tnatownor Jiayetteviiie,'asnntortu nate in the- multicaulis speculation as it nas-oeenm much else. But in truth the venture was in ad vance of the times, of knowledge and of skill. At home the management of the worm was altogether in the hands of females and children. -Had it been otherwise, in the United States there Wis no market for the product. There was no maenmery to work up the raw ADroad. heavv dunes ex eliided American silk from foreign mrKets. ?4pdnditions are now changed. Disease has laid hands on the worms of Italy tffid x ranee. Tnose countries now im port at great cost the eggs bf China and Japan. The silk produced is inferior in quality.; The work of the loom must be supplemented with substances de structive to texture and deleterious to health to give the weight and lustre which belong to a perfect material. In the United States the manufacture is firmly established, and in . which many million dollars'are invested. The fabrics produced rival the very finest of the looms of Lyons. The silk worm of the United States is absolutely healthy, Th cocoons of this State, exhibited at the centennial exhibition, were pro nounced of very superior quality. So much I have said on this subject because silk has a peculiar adaptability to tne son and climate or tnis state, De cause the labor attending its produc tion is light, and because it is profitable, and because the demand for it will never cease while the bonds of civilised society remain unbroken; and because North Carolina may appropriately ex ert itself to meet a portion of this de mand from its, thousands of acres that invite nsto.tlus special subject. The im ports of silk, rafr and manufactured, amount annually to" about forty mil lions of dollars, most of which might be saved to the country and to which ecoDomy this State might be made largely to contribute. 4, Of the grape, it 1s only necessary to ipoK arouna upon any rarm, or m any hamlet, village or, town in the State, to realise how much at home asaong us is the vine. The foreign vine proves it self a stubborn aeirvsieeriea in f oreign prejudices oy a weakly, valetudinarian, enfeebled with the decrepitude of cen turies. It rebels on tepubliican soil, or pins ittder. .the flkjes of freedom. But our; hardy natives 'the; Scuppernong and its kindred, the Plowers and '.the Mirh. the Catawba, the Isabella and the Lincoln all natives of North Car olina, luxuriate in the-climate and run riot in the iSoilcjIf; ihe tasted of . the -American people can be cultivated by a new and independent standard; ir it the State lndreased it heed were aiven to demonstrated facts. It is abundantly Droven that iute can be cultivated in the eastern counties as easily as corn, that its yield is as great as in In dia and that the q uality has no superior, the samples exhibited year after year at our State fairs of the plant in its na tural condition, or converted into fibre or yarns, show that the problem has been solved and only awaits the cour age of enterprise and the faith of con fidence to bring the planter and. manu facturer of Horth Carolina into emu lous competition with the labor of Hindostan and the long cherished mo nopoly of Dundee. The aims of human industry are far from being restricted to the attainment ?t the mere necessaries of life. le atisfaction of bodily wants and the acquisition of ease and comforts, are soon followed by the aspiration after what are commonly" classed as luxu ries. But luxuries are hot to be hardly judged as the wasteful consumers of wealth or as, the arrogant rebukes to poverty. Their, existence, in itself, is concluded. ;. Y In vindication of fche honor of the State, if not for the protection of its in terests, the press should bestir itself to : correct these errors, of whose existence it cannot altogether plead ignorance.- Ofbailej and btiqkwheat, the cereals of a Northern region, the census credits us with 4.799 bushels of the former and 45,209 of the latter. It is. silent jon the subject of rice, the reptesehtative of the semi-tropical zone. Xetthisls not an extinct, though adiminished.subject of pursuit. The special labor required for its culture .was -for a time ruined by the act of emanicipaUon. It was a costly culture, and the war ruined the fortunes of those engaged in it. In 1870 the coop is . stated to have been 2,059,280 pounds out of a total crop of 73,O0O;6OQ for the whole United States. In i860 the crop of North Carolina, con fined mainly to the marshy lands on the lower Cape Fear, was a little up wards of seven million pounds. It is now largely pn the, increase, both in its old locality and farther North and no longer limited to lands Periodically 'to" "be flooded, but competing on its own ground with wheat and corn and other cereals. For among the very miady varieties of rice, 161 kinds being found in the island of Ceylon alone, it is not surprising that a variety suitable to upland or partially dry culture has at last been found suitable to lands in this State. This is a valuable addition to the wealth of the State, addineereat- ly to the food supply and to the de mands of commerce. The rice of North Carolina stands in the highest repute, both as a breadstuff and for seed rice. in which latter character it is largely shipped to States South of us, some planters before the war using their wnole crop in that way. Corn is reported for 1880 at 27,959,894 bushels, which, if correct, is almost exactly the crop of 1870, the difference being only 18,843 bushels in favor of the former year, uats yielded 3,830,622 bushels. Rye 285,043 bushels. Wheat 3,385,670, which is a gain over 1870 of 1.255.568 bushels. This is a bad exhibit of the crop of cereals.

But more of this in another nlace. Other products of minor importance misrht be named, the held pea, for in stance, now bought annually in this State by the planters of Louisiana to return the fertility or exhausted sugar mantations. used also at home as ertD to regenerate our own lands. It forms also a valuable food crop. and merits more consideration thki ' it -receives. There is also the ! ground pea, which years ago supplied -the demand of the united States, but which, has been suffered to fall far behind the yield of Virginia and Tennessee.- There is also the sweet and Irish potato, the former in its greatest perfection in the eastern counties, the other unsurpassed any where in fecundity and excellence in the transmontane section. These last add very materially to the value of the agricultural products of the State. The crop of Irish potatoes for the year 1879 was 738,803 Dusneis, anu sweet po tatoes 3,071.840 bushels.
