A summary of a brief history of China's sericulture industry, originally published by the Shanghai Bureau of Inspection and Testing of Commercial Commodities. It traces silk from its legendary discovery in 2852 B.C. through its spread to Japan, Rome and the rest of Asia and Europe, then covers China's export growth after 1842 and the introduction of steam filatures from 1879. It describes sericultural schools, experimental stations, disease-free egg programs and government testing efforts in Chekiang, Kiangsu, Anhwei, Canton and Shantung, with filature statistics for 1924 and 1929, and closes with six lines of endeavor for future development.
