A short illustrated article from China Pictorial on a state reclamation farm in Kiangsi Province, China, that developed mulberry orchards and sericulture on barren red-soil hills north of Nanchang. It describes the farm's founding in 1957 by cadres and demobilized soldiers, its silkworm and sapling supply to nearby communes, and the growth of its silk mill from handicraft looms to a medium-sized industrial complex producing 10,000 metres of silk and brocade a day. Photographs show mulberry plantings, silkworm tending, and the brocade factory.
