REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH 



Madras Cottons. 



Good work is being done in the Southern Districts of the 

 Presidency judging from the samples of selected cottons 

 which were sent to me for valuation. 



These were adjudged by the Directors of the Bombay 

 Cotton Association, Limited, who remarked that all the 

 samples showed nice clean cotton and the differences in 

 price is all practically due to staple. That the Karunganni 

 samples are more suitable for weaving mills than the 

 Uppam samples, but both styles should suit buyers for ex- 

 port and local consumption. 



The following is their detailed report : —
