A 1930 article by W. Wagner of Krefeld, Germany, reporting incomplete biological experiments aimed at raising healthier silk worms and improving silk yield and quality. It describes treating eggs and larvae with direct induction electric current and ultra-violet light, and rearing worms outdoors, and compares disease losses, development time, cocoon size and silk color against indoor-reared controls. The author stresses that results are preliminary.
