Brother Alien Andrews writes: "In returning from West Palm Beach to Miami some two weeks ago, when pasising through the little town of Lantana on the Dixie Highway my attention was attracted by an exhibit that is being staged there by Dr. Ludwig Harpootlian in the interest of developing a silk cultural industry in Florida. Silk worms in all stages of development are seen, from one day old up to the spinning stage, which is about twentyseven days from time of hatching.
"The worms live on Mulberry leaves,—the White Mulberry being greatly preferred,—and feed voraciously on them from the day they are hatched until they begin to spin their cocoons. The eggs, which are about the size of a turnip seed, are collected and a quantity placed in one of those paper picnic plates, being cov ered with a piece of coarse mosquito netting, over which is. laid a quantity of finely shredded Mulberry leaves. As the worms hatch out they crawl through the mosquito netting and start devouring the leaves, soon eating their way through the pile, so that a fresh supply must be provided. They grow in size with amazing rapidity, so that it ia soon no longer necessary to shred the leaves, which are then fed whole, and at the end of 27 days are some 21/3 inches in length and ready to spin their cocoons. ..."
