At the same time it will

, therefore be necessary. Farmers
i will take their silk to town where
reeling machinery will be avail-
able. Aftcr this is accomplished,
the reeled silk can be sent to the
mills for fashioning into silk
hOSiel‘y.
A successful development will‘
mean a new farm product, new
industry for small towns, new.
machinery manufacture and a re-
liable source of supply for the silk
industry. 3.
On May 11, 1826, the House of
Representatives authorized
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
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 does 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 thisl
.infant industry for a few years;

is a rte—awakening to the fact that
America was made by men and
women who had the courage to ‘
tackle long-range endeavors that ‘r
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.

Team-work is a builder#of a

The team—work idea, which in
1933 started combining idle labor
and idle materials to construct
{Grand Coulee and Bonneville and
Boulder Dams, built a bulwark of
our Nation’s defenses in power
supply, and laid the foundations
for a greater industrial Washing-
ton. In many parts of the coun—
try power supply is a serious fac-
tor of national defense; and rigid
economies, conservation of “Sun-
day power," are necessary to keep
the wheels of the new factories
turning. With almost limitless

Grand Coulee Dam, the Pacific
Northwest is being considered fa—
vorably as the site of more de-
fense plants by the Office of Pro-
duction Management. '
Lumber was lead horse. in the
materials team which built Grand
Coulee. To divert the Columbia
River out of its ancient channel
during excavation of overburden
on bedrock, and during early con-
crete placing operations, the
world’s largest coffer dam sys-
tem was employed. Here lum-
ber was indispensable. In the
coffer dams the smallest stick
was 12 by 12 inches, and the larg—
‘ est 16 by 24 inches, all structural

Nearly 18,000 of these
sticks were used.
The heaviest and largest forms
built at the dam site, weighing
13 tons, contained 12,604 board
feet each. These transition forms
formed the upstream .portals of
the penstocks, through which a ’
portion of the Columbia; will
plunge toturn the turbines, and
the generators over them. They
were 29 feet long; the upper ends

feet wide; the lower ends circular
