Illustrated article from the November 1928 issue of Lingnan, the news bulletin of Lingnan University in Canton, about the silk industry of South China and the university's Department of Sericulture. It describes silkworm diseases such as pebrine, the production of disease-free eggs, improved rearing houses, reeling laboratories, silk testing, farmer clubs, and funding from the Silk Association of America and the Canton government. It closes with an appeal for two American scientists, a pathologist and a geneticist, for the School of Sericulture. Photographs show mulberry fields, rearing rooms, laboratories, reeling machines, and staff.
