Remakes. 



Broach (new seed from Navasari). Grown on Dharwar Farm, this cotton has 

 picked up some of the characteristics of the soil and climate. Being Navasari 

 seed it is superior to Sawginned Dharwar and Kumpta, but it has deteriorated 

 in the Dharwar soil from its original quality as grown in Navasari. This is 

 owing, perhaps, to the high altitude and dry climate of Dharwar. We have 

 marked that whenever Navasari has been removed further away from the 

 sea it shows deterioration. We value this sample at Rs. 315. 



Cambodia. Though superior to Kumpta and Dharwar it has lost its native 

 lustre and strength of fibre and has deteriorated considerably on the Dhar- 

 war Farm. Value Rs. 300. 



Kumpta x Ghogari. This cross is far superior to ordinary Kumpta, but it is 

 inferior to No. 2 Cross. Value Rs. 315. 



Kumpta ordinary. Slightly inferior to No. 1. Value Rs. 288. 



Kumpta selected for qualitv. It shows improvement in colour over No. 6. 

 Value Rs. 298. 



Kumpta selected for quant it v. 

 Rs. 285. 



It is inferior to ordinary Kumpta. Value 



Kumpta Cross. It shows improvement over Nos. 6, 7 and 8, but compared 

 with No. 2, it shows considerable falling off in colour and length of staple. 

 Value Rs. 305. 



Broach old seed. It has lost all its characteristics of Broach and has dete- 

 riorated to the level of Kumpta, and We value it at Rs. 300. There can be 

 no comparison between this and X'>. 3, as the latter retains its character of 

 Broach cotton, while No. 10 has entirely lost it. 



Kumpta x Ghogari. Confpared with No. 5 it shows a slight falling off. 

 Thie we attribute to No. 5, being crossed on the Surat and No. 11 on the 

 Dharwai Farm. Value Rs. 310. 



Samples from Oadag Farm, 1911-12 crop. 



Samples from Gadag Farm. These 6 samples are more or less alike and of the 

 characteristic of Sawginned Dharwar cotton. No. 14 being machine ginned 

 (not aawginned), shows better length of fibre over the rest which are saw- 

 ginned. All the <> samples show variations. We value Nos. 14 and 1(5 at 

 Rs. 300 and the rest a1 Els. 295. 



Of the two, No. 18 is better in length of staple ; both the samples are superior 

 to Kumpta or Dharwar ordinary. We value No. 18 at Rs. 305 and No. 19 

 :.t Rs. 295. 



(No. 18, Dharwar American type; and No. 19, New Orleans type of 

 1912-13 crop.)
