should be sent forward within three
weeks of their landing in Englind.

feeding silkworms and 1 think it is
true. I've seen oome evidence of silk -
making in soine,of the small places.
They keep the trees out down low and
keep everything (leaves and branches)

leaves grow. If the trees are healthy
they wonld get some fine leaves. I
don't know how tbey keep them. I
guess the worms have to eat them
dry . I'd like to ree more of them
perhaps I will get a chance some day.
