following extract is in regard to silk culture In Utah In 1875 aii association was formed for the production and manufacture off of-f silk called the Deseret Silk association associa-tion It was composed mostly of women wo-men and Sirs Zna D H Young was president She visited all parts of the territory in its interest speaking and Imparting the necessary Information to stimulate the people tc experiment looking forward hopefully to ultimate success Much preparatory work was done and mulberry trees are abundant i which only require the energies of the people to be called into active exercise to secure the best results t f Utah like other states and territories terri-tories made a good showing in connection con-nection with the Worlds fair The mineral exhibit was very line the agricultural Ii ag-ricultural fairly good but I may be t excused if I am partial to the womans side of this question The national 4 commissioner for Utah of the ladies f department was one of tie vicepresi i i dents of tha lady board of managers I airs Margaret Blaine Salisbury a most gracious and charming woman and who manifested the greatest interest inter-est in the silk question She left no stone unturned in her efforts to secure space and privileges fur the Utah silk I display in the womans building at J Jackson Park and through her influence I influ-ence and a fair and honest setting forth of fads plainly stated and an exhibit of various articles of value collected col-lected from the people who had been sanguine on the subject of silk culture the exhibit was opened in the process department in the Womans building It proved a noel feature attracting many hundreds of visitors The reeling reel-ing and weaving was done in a primitive i primi-tive way as in the early days in Utah I and medals and diplomas were awarded by the judges of this department f depart-ment The texture of Utah silk is said i by experts to be very fine and of superior su-perior tength as well as fineness S There has been a determined effort made in this direction by some of the ladies which culminated in an organization organ-ization called The Utah Womans Silk L association This industry
