A GOOD WAY TO ENCOURAGE THE GROWTH


OF SILK.


number Of gentlemen, inhabitants of Massachusetts,
Connecticut and New Jersey, have requested the Ane
rcan Institute by letter. TO offer premium at their next
annual fair, for the greatest quantity OF Sewing Silk, to
be raised not less than sixteenth OF OF
land BY succession of crops in single Salts
factory evidence to BE- given OF the to the managers
of said Institute before the fair together with
the weight of mulberry leaves consumed the weight and
number OF cocoons produced and the weight OF waste silk
and floss, and the number and quantity of the trees set
on this land the amount Of land and also the weight of
leaves which may from necessity be borrowed from any
to complete the experiment, to be certified to the
Institute oath or affirmation.


To enable the American Institute to carry this proposal
into effect they have forwarded joint and several OBJ
gaon payable before the first day OF October next,
for one hundred dollars.


At late meeting Of the Institute the proposal was
unanimously accepted. Silk is of the articles d
foreign growth which has been imported Of late years te
ali enormous amount Measures like the foregoing, cal
culated to abrdge wants, is in opinion, muci
better than borrowing specie from the Bank of England
which in the present stale of things, is only calculated
enable them to sell US more goods and again stop ou
career OF prosperity whenever they please II our nuen
tia fellow citizens will follow the above example, may
soon become exporters instead Of importers OF Silk We
think the editors of papers disposed to encourage the
growth OF silk and thereby contribute to the independence
OF county, will o well to publish the foregoing. 1t
is good example, Other useful productions may be
couraged iii the way.
