SILK COMMITTEE.
Twtty-Fifth Congress,
SECOND SESSION.
April 20th 1888.
MULBERRY AND SUGAR Bt-ET.
Mr. Randolph, from the Committee on Agriculture,
submitted the following - iw- 3
REPORT:
TheCommittee on Agriculture, who were instructed-toinquire
whether, any, and, if any,
what encouragement may be given to promote
the en ft tire of the mulberry and the
sntrsr rpnort
""tj? -"-I ' ~i?--That
in order to obtain satisfactory information
of the present state and condition, as well
as of the importance, of the culture of the
mulberry and sugar beet, they issued a circular
on the subject, shortly after it was committed
to them, to which they have received numerous
answers, giving much 'interesting and
useful information; some <of <he mort taper.
| tant of which the committee append to fliis
[ report. The first question which naturally
suggests itself is, whether the subject matter
is of such national imoortance as to merit the
serious attention of Congress ; and in order to
satisfy themselves on this point, the committee
ascertained from the public documents the
amount of silk and sugar imported into tlie
United States, as follow^ viz:
SILK 8COAK.
183G 25,033,200 12,514,551
This statement at once shows the immense
sum which is annually paid by the people of
this country, to foreign countries, for those
two articles only; and also, the very great mrportance
of encouraging their culture amongst
******
It would introduce to the farmer new and
valuable, and as your committee believe, profitable
productions; wnich in rotation, with
other crops, would have a doubly beneficial
tF"Ct on our agricultural interests. It would
improve our lands, increase ?ho amount of productive
industry, and ciodense, improve and
? ? i ? _ UtJl
Ornish our popu ation. it wouiu r.?o auumg
o'her branches to the homo, the fireside bu?inos9
of every family, and thus increase the
f leasnre as well as the prosperity of tire <fr>mestic
circle. Your committee cannot forbear
to notice with approbation, on this occasion,
the fact that Mr. Lindsay, of Washington city
has freqnently conferred with Use in on this
subject, imparting his valuable information enJ
forced by the practical argument of his wear,
mg a complete suit of tUk, fcuhivated and manomcturi
u'un ma m , y??
this, as in every country, a large class of individuals
who, so far from adding any thing to
the industry and wealth of the nation, are una.
ble to support themselves, for want of suitable
employment, such as indigent females and
childicn; the aged and infirm, to ?hom may
be added the long list of Dampen in our poor-houses
and asylums, and of prisaKiere in our
workhouses and State penitentiaries. To
this class, the cultivation of silk present* a
most suitable and advantages* employment.
Within the last year the cultivation of the
' ?- ?
mulberry tias oeen iuucu mw? c?u?wu man
in several prseeding years, and the people and
the Legislatures of several of the States have
taken up the subject with increased spirit and
j vigor.
i From all the information which the commit!
cc have beeu able to obtain, th^y are induced
[ to believe that no country in the world is better
i adap'ed to the production of silk, or the sugarbeet
than most parts of the United States,
whether we consider the eoil the climate, or
the habits of the people. The mulberry will
I grow on high, stony, sandy, and comparatively
) barren land ; althovgh the poverty or the soil
may decrease the quantity of fo lage, it wiU
improve the quality, and add fineness and
beauty to the silk; whilst the climate is so
varied, that no part is too far north to destroy
the mulberry or prevent the production of a
single crop of silk worms in a season, yet, In
the southern part of tke Union, frcm eight to
ten crops may b raited.
'i be Morns Multir.aidis has. for some yeaif,
been considered the most valuable variety of
mulberry: though the Brussa, recently introduced
into th.s country from Turkey, is highly
spoken of as of a superior qoality. The
l arge white six week worm seems to be genr*
' ally admitted to be preferable for the preduc*
I tion of silk.
! /"if, then, there are so many inducements for,
the introduction of these two important articles
if the market is large and yearly increasing,
! our coil and climate adapted to the culture,
and the prospect of pubilc good and private
gain be good; why, it will asked, may we not
become a great silk growing and sugar-making
people 1 We can, and the oommittee bej
lieve in do distant time will so become. It only
j requires that public attention should be called
i and kept to the subject; taat our agricultur!
ists be satisfied of a fair prospect of success;
| and that the Government should lend its aid
to ensure the speedy and permanent 6uccestf
' of the measure.
THE PROFITS.
From four hundred to one thousand per
cent is itow realized on the cultivation and
sale of trees. So enormous a profit is not of
course expected to be realised for any length
of time, but will decline as the trees become
more abundanf, and the country is stocked
with silk plantatations. But the producing of
raw silk from those trees must tecome a per
. - - Cm*
manent business, trom wincn tne farmer wu
be able to realize from three to five hundred
dollars from each acre of mulberry trees. The
whole business is as simple as that ot raising
corn or potatoes, and more certain than any
crop that can be put into the ground, while it
furnishes a light, easy and profitable employmerit
to children, to the aged and infirm, and
other dependent portions of the household, with
which every family is more or less burtbened.
In everyway, the silk culture is a matter of
great individual and national importance, for*
nishing a certain, safe, and, it may be added*
a patriotic source of wealth.
