Sacramento, Cal. U.R) Col.
Alexander R. Heron, state direct
or of reconstruction and re-employment,
dug down In Califor
nia's musty archives and dusted
off an Idea today which may
provide the state with a new
Industry after the war.
Col. Heron, long an advocate
of non-food uses of agricultural
products, found new support for
his theory in a report from a for
gotten state board of silk cul
ture, published in 1883.
What happened to the board
of silk culture and -the flourish
. lng silk industry it predicted for
California between 1883 and
1944 is something Col. Heron
has not found out yet. However,
he believes the time has come
again for an Investigation of
"definite possibilities" of the In
dustry after the war.
Climate Is "Bait"
California climate is as equ
able now as it was 60 years
ago. he pointed out, and the
board in 1883 found It was the
'best in the world" for cultiva
tion of the mulberry trees and
the worms themselves, partic
ularly in that it lacks summer
thunder storms, which apparent
ly distract a silkworm from his
business.
A silk manufacturing Indus
try nothing short of immense
was predicted by the 1883 re
port, which added, "The time Is
not far distant when In value
and importance silk and silken
fabrics will rank among (Cali
fornia's) first productions.
Col. Heron Is willing to try
for this again. He said he be
lieved postwar expansion plans
of California apparel manufact
urers might provide ready mar
kets for "superfine" California
silks.

war problems the fate of wom
en welders when shipyards close
down is neatly solved by the
board of silk control.
Indicating that California In
dustry faced a similar problem
In 1883, the board deplored the
absense of "appropriate indus
trial pursuits" for women and
"the evils and dangers likely
soon to arise from the fact that
most women find themselves un
able to contribute to the family
Income, nay, scarcely able to
support themselves."
Silk culture, It declared
woum give multitudes of our
daughters healthful occupation
Moreover, it called It an Indus
try "peculiarly fitted" for wom
en, saying, "The gentleness and
tenderness required in the nur
ture of the silkworm appeal. to
woman's motherly instinct."
