Experiments with silk
culture will be carried on in Co-
lumbia county by L. E. Gulker
of St. Helens who Wednesday
brought several thousand silk
worms and eggs from Astoria.
The eggs were shipped to As­
toria from Bulgaria, it being de­
sired to try silk worm culture
in the Pacific Northwest. Several
Clatsop county farmers have tak­
en quantities of them for experi-
mental purposes.
The silk worm*, it is under­
stood, live on mulberry leaves.
Mr. Gulker has mulberry trees on
his farm west of town. He is
desirous, however, of sharing the
silk worms with others of the
county who have mulberry trees
and a desire to experiment.
It is believed that silk worms
will thrive in the coast climate of
the northwest and if this proves
to be a fact a profitable industry
may be built up. Mr. Gulker said
he knew little about silk worm
culture and declared h.. would
welcome suggestions from any
one more experienced.
