Your committee have taken the pains to give a full list of the exhib- 

 itors in this department, together with the samples exhibited by each, 

 to show that the. business is not simply confined to one or two localities, 

 but that it is already widely spread throughout this State, and is com- 

 menced in Oregon. 



It is not only due to the "pioneer" of the business in this State, but 

 also to the pioneers in the respective counties and localities represented, 

 to give their names to the public, and make record of the same in the 

 transactions of your society for the year eighteen hundred and sixty- 

 eight. 



Your committee have no information as to the extent of the opera- 

 tions of most of the exhibitors, and will therefore confine tbemselves to 

 giving a short notice of the operations of two of the largest silk growers 

 in the State — William M. Haynie and I. N. Hoag. 



Mr. Hoag's cocoonery is situated about three miles above Sacramento 

 City, on the Yolo side of the Sacramento River. He has a large planta- 

 tion of mulberry trees, both from seed and cuttings, from which have 

 been fed about one million worms the present season, succeeding beyond 

 his most sanguine expectations in producing quantity and quality, both 

 of cocoons and eggs. 



Mr. Ha3 ? nie's cocoonery is located just beyond the limits of Sacramento 

 City, on the road leading to Smith's gardens. It was erected the past 

 summer, with special reference to silk culture. He has also seven acres 

 of mulberry trees planted on his homestead, and plantations of trees 

 north of the American River, both from seeds and cuttings, of the most 

 approved variety. 



This «;entleman commenced feeding his first batch of worms on the 

 first of July, which consisted of about eight hundred thousand worms of 

 the French variety. He, too, has been successful be3'ond his most 

 sanguine expectations in producing good cocoons and eggs.
