96 REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH 



Sumimdri and Jaranwala. — Gossypium indicum, 

 yellow flowered, and Gossypium neglectum, 

 yellow flowered, in almost equal quantities. 

 There is everywhere a fairly considerable admixture 

 of the white flowered varieties of Gossypium 

 indicum and neglectum, and these, popular 

 opinion regards as heavier yielding. Certainly 

 the percentage of lint is higher in the white 

 flowered varieties grown in the Lyallpur Sta- 

 tion. Gossypium san guineum is not uncommon 

 in the Lyallpur and Sumundri Tahsils, but it 

 is the predominant type in few villages. 

 TTissar. — In Hissar, Hansi and Fatehabad Tahsils 

 two-fifths are yellow flowered Gossypium 

 indicum and one-fourth to one-third is white 

 flowered neglectum. There is no Gossypium 

 sanguineum,. Cotton is unimportant in 

 Bhiwani and Sirsa Tahsils. 

 Lahore. — Yellow flowered Indicum represents 74 per 

 cent, in Chuman, 78 per cent, in Kasnr and 91 

 per cent, in Lahore Tahsil. In Chuman about 

 10 per cent, is yellow flowered Gossypium 

 neglectum, in Kasur there is a good deal of 

 broad leaved Gossypium, sanguineum in canal- 

 irrigated villages. 

 As regards the retention or rejection of American 

 varieties, those retained are of the rough leaved and those 

 thrown out are of the smooth leaved type. 4 F is the chief 

 American cotton on the Station and it has done well every- 

 where in 1913. The experience of past years shows that 

 American cottons will do well in the colonies under canal 

 irrigation, but they require good land and better cultiva- 

 tion than the indigenous cotton.
