KYES Director, Nalionai Earn YouA Fourxtarioft AROUND THE ' MULBERRY BUSH Those seeking new farm prod uct can join with small town business men in a new industrial opportunity for rural America. Officials of large silk spinning companies have announced their willingness to purchase co coons grown in the United States, when ever they be come available in commercial quantities. Co coons grown in the United States, on an experimental basis, have been used in the spun silk industry foi making apparel fabrics. National defense has brought about new uses. Powder bags and cartridge cloths are both made of spun silk, as it burns completely leaving no residue. Parachute seams are also of spun silk. Since Japan controls the Chinese market from which we are dependent for co coons, this country finds itself in a position where something had better be done about it. This development can be car ried out in two stages. American agriculture can make the raising of silk worms a second poultry in dustry ... a part-time occupation as a part of the farm operation that will bring excellent cash re turn. At the same time it will provide the entire spun silk in dustry with raw material. A second opportunity will bene fit the business man in small communities. The silk hosiery in dustry is the big user of reeled silk. Reeling machinery will therefore be necessary. Farmers will take their silk to town where reeling machinery will be avail able. After this is accomplished, the reeled silk can be sent to the mills for fashioning into silk hosiery. 1 A successful development wmj mean a new farm product industry for small towns, new, machinery manufacture and a re-, liable source of supply for the silk industry. On May 11, 1826, the House of Representatives authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to make an investigation of the possibili ties of the silk industry in the United States. The report was rendered in 1828, whereupon 8,000 'copies were printed for distribu tion. The report was an excellent one, still worth reading. It brings out one very important point and that is, that the mulberry tree which supplies food for the silk worm can be grown in practically every part of the United States. K. M. Hazarabedian of Selma, Calif., has done much to prove the feasibility Of the silkworm culture as a farm operation. He claims that a net of about two dollars per pound is realized by the silk raised. If this is accurate, and there is every indication that it is a sound estimate, it means that with approximately 70,000, 000 pounds of silk being imported, there is a $140,000,000 industry awaiting the efforts of the Amer ican farmer. The fruit of the mulberry tree is a by-product of the silk indus try, which is not to be overlooked. There has been an old argument which has been a stumbling block in the development of the indus try .. . the argument that wages in China and Japan were so low, we could not compete. This argu ment docs not have the merit it once had; for new methods, de velopment in this country, indi cate the possibility of overcoming this objection. Suppose we must subsidize this infant industry for a few years. That would be better than sub sidy of surplus crops with no hope f ever being relieved of the bur den it entails. What we Ameri cans need more than ever before is a re-awakening to the fact that America was made by men and women who had the courage to tackle long-range endeavors that took years before attaining suc cess. The stamina required for such endeavors made a great na tion. The silk industry is a chal lenge to American agriculture. It is a big undertaking but promises a big profit Farmers Are Urged To Grow More Hogs A steadily increasing demand for pork 'has caused Ellis V. Vestal, swine specialist of the N. C. State College Extension Service, to call on North Carolina farmers for larger hog numbers. ' More money in circulation as a re sult of the Defense Program has created a brighter situation for swine raisers. lakeMise, the lease-lend act gun ran tees pork supplies to Britain. 'These factors have brought about a favorable ratio between hog prices and. feed prices," Vestal said. "With iiogs selling' t 10 cents a pound and better, farmers and 4-H Club mem bers majvwell afford to feed any pigs4 they have,' even if they have , to buy stfftwonr as wen as protein vr-i mineral.'' r' c i ' 1' An average of ten trials con ' ' J Cotton Stataps Will Buy Farm girl's College Hose SMSA' oi uie sucveaaxiu uiuuer. i TlC v" ' r d w ' I "- J ! - I r" - I ' 1 I - 3 The farm family wants to help daughter Mary in every way possible when she goes off to college next fall.

North Carolina cotton farmers will earn about $2,000,000 in cotton stamps for purchases of American cotton goods this year by curtailing 1941 cotton acreage. Distribution of the first stamps in the State is scheduled to begin next week. by the North Carolina Experiment Station showed that 10-cent hogs will return $1.57 a bushel for corn consumed, basis cottonseed meal at $1.75 per 100 pounds, and fish meal at $3.50 per 100 pounds. Farmers and farm boys wishing to conduct feeding demonstrations are advised by Vestal to use the follow ing procedure: Weigh the pigs at the beginning of the period. Use a self-feeder. Blueprints may be obtained from any county agent. Use shelled corn or ground barley in one compartment, and cottonseed meal and fish meal (or tankage) In the other. Use the recommended mineral mix ture in a dry place. Green feed is important, too. Keep a record of the feed used. Vestal said county agents will be glad to assist farmers in carrying out these swine-feeding demonstra tions. WHITESTON NEWS" Mrs. Ella Watson, of Great Bridge, Va., and Mrs. J.
