educational interests of utah as ho lie justly remarks the suicidal ten d sending speaking of bending ng our youth abroad to be educated is obvious to the most obtuse individual vidual it is equally true that we have talent learning and ability in this territory 3 which if lf justly appreciated precia ted and encouraged would elevate materially our present standard of intellectual ren ref refinement coment the money annually sent from this territory for educational purposes is almost sufficient lelent to sustain a first class institution of learning in in our own midst it would if necessary bring the best beat talent from tile the east build up our home homo institutions tut ions and present an opportunity to those who are not able to travel upon expensive roads to avail themselves of eastern luxuries and advantages in education besides the influence of our society at home ionic we be believe lloye 14 vastly superior to that of any other part of the world Is there one among our people who would prefer sending ills hia children east to be educated if our facilities in utah were as great I 1 do not believe there is one and yet our advantages could bo be mad made 0 equal with little means adamore and more enciu encouragement hagemen t mr Wa raleigh said that it was not ills his intention to cufr the tho chedes des cret university I 1 will say that if he be can raise it to that standard of appreciation which it justly meri mori merits alts from the people of this territory he will do a good work and one in in which he should have the cooper co oper atlon of all who are interested in the cause of education I 1 know that in the settling of new now countries education is not generally made the first consideration nor can we expect such to be the case it is not in the order of a count rys development it is no not consistent with life and comfort but when the wilderness has been subdued and the barren waste made subservient to the tiie will of man and caused to yield a hundred fold as is almost the tile case with us ug then education intellectual tel and mor moral al should be encouraged cou raged by wealth influence and patronage 1 I 1 maintain that such a state of things exists in utah today that wo we are comfortable enough and as well prepared to begin the work which devolves upon us as wo we ever will be A great many of our citizens will say that they tiley aro arc not able yet to educate their children to all such I 1 would say that tho the very wealth wraith ofa ora of a country depends in a great reat measure its education I 1 am not in favor of education transient or superficial but practical and useful education I 1 am not in favor of it because it is appreciated by the world but because it is absolutely indispensable As regards deseret university I 1 would say ay that I 1 believe it is conducted by a man than whom wilom are few if any in our territory moro more capable of school government and I 1 am sure there is not one more earnest in his endeavors to promote the general interests of education than is dr park he is the right mau man mad in the right place and I 1 believe I 1 can recommend the deseret university to tile the citizens of utah as an institution worthy of th vo p patronage a t conage yours u rs respectfully 1111 0 K THURMAN e PINE banyon todolo co aug ath 1873 E editor deseret news I 1 noticed a voi vor very interesting arti clein clodi ithe the weekly NEWS of august oth on silk culture the business now begins to assume an importance with some somo of our people who have been and are calculating to follow that profitable industry that silk can cau be raised to good advantage in this territory is now beyond doubt doubts and therefore a pertinent question is what methods shall wo we pursue to make tile the industry the most profitable and remunerative nera tive it occurred to me melsome some time ago that a silk raisers convention would be of much good in assisting in the development of the enterprise ter prise that h a t there is great wealth to be d derived e r hy tho hea cultivation of the slip 41 f al n settled aie question 11 tibi till mami ste ellias raised raleen T about oooo wa cocoons from the french yellow annuals of a very fine line size and good quality the question fuestion now arises shall shail wo we raise tiie tile the silk or the tilo eggs silk will pay better than eggs your correspondent in the article referred to states that no returns have come como from france for the eggs sent last winter which makes it unpleasant justly so the tile necessity for a convention of silk culturists is very much needed to devise the best and wisest methods of obtaining returns if wo we cultivate the tile silk by what means shall shail we get it reeled that we may cash the tiie reeled silk or manufacture it llito alito such articles aswill as will pay the best nir dir mr hoag hong of yolo cal states that 2000 0 can be obtained from one acre of two year old trees when cultivated lor tor the silk if wo we say 1000 per acre we shall shail bo be ve very ry r Y well i remunerated enumerated and it most positively can be done in utah Y your our correspondent states that the syrian silk worm makes too much floss silk and that is hard and coarse but call can be reeled without was wasted to A very good kind for beginners the french annual produces a very fine silk and would be more dimi cult to reel california has made a very satisfactory success of silk raising and utah may and can if she pleases do likewise tiie the dr dry y bench lands are the most congenial for the worm can be raised from one acre of suitable soil such as peaches of a good quality can be cultivated on this fact is demonstrated this summer at pine kanyon A quarter section of land appropriated to the cultivation of the mulberry treo in any suitable locality would make any comIn community unity rich acres at to the acre would amount to this is proved by experiment the thel present year A convention of silk slik is needed to discuss and arrange matters for the best A convention would give interest to the enterprise conventions are common in america the bee raisers have a convention the thelise live stow stock ck raisers and hog raisers also alpo the dairy association cia tion and wisdom die dle dic dictates tates that silk interests will be tile the better for a convention the gentlemen of the city who are interested in silk culture arrange the convention a affairs a name namo the time and the place this fail fall and let us have llave a good talk taik on the sub subject jeet deet ch china in a and japan receive for eggs from france and austria about twenty millions of dollars annually the two last nations b buy u y the e eggs 9 9 8 and laise raise the silk b because ehause t they 1 1 Y can obtain twice tivice the amount from the silk that they can from the eggs they spend twenty millions in eggs bu but if they had to buy the silk

time unless the they y feel ab able abie leand and willing to run the risk of tile till the amount not being repaid and in such event not complain about ity its it for it will be of th their air own

strongest assurance that the amounts would be promptly repaid soon after arrival in zion and we regret to add that much still remans remains unpaid some of bitof it of long standing and some where the borrowers have apostatized the lending by those who tarry to those who go 90 has caused the eiders elders much trouble has too often resulted in sad disappointment and injury to the lender lenders has been a detriment to the borrower in his not doing as he so pointedly agreed and caused much mischief it Is requested that tins office the utah elders in tho the field and at home and the parties
