have rough feel. Value of 1, 7 and 11 Rs. 202 

 each, the rest, Rs. 200 (Fully Good Khandesh 

 standing at Rs. 205)." 



This experiment must be continued for a few years 

 before any definite observations can be deduced. 



Bhuri was reported on as having long staple but weak 

 fibre. 



The fibre of Cambodia was found to be very weak. 



Of three sets of rosea, the first with the seed separated 

 by gravity produced a crop which was found to be better in 

 staple and soft in feel and was valued at Rs. 215 ; of the 

 second, with seed not separated, the cotton was a little in- 

 ferior and was valued at Rs. 210. The third from Akola 

 seed was rough in feel and short in staple and was valued 

 at Rs. 205. In this instance, there was a decided advantage 

 gained by separation of the seed before sowing. 



The white flowered narrow lobed variety from selections 

 was valued at Rs. 202 equal to that of Nos. 1 to 14, which 

 are of the same type. 



Broad lobed variety from selections of Malvensis was 

 valued at Rs. 237 against Rs. 235 from seed from Akola. 



In Khandesh variety of which fresh seed was received 

 from Dhulia and grown here, the cotton was deteriorated, 

 the staple was very short and resembled Bengal cotton 

 more than Khandesh. Value Rs. 205 (Fine Khandesh 

 standing at Rs. 215). 



Karkheli had deteriorated somewhat, valued at Rs. 265 

 against Fully Good Karkheli at Rs. 275. White flowered 

 broad lobed (Cutchica), farm seed, resembles Fine Bengal, 

 valued at the same rate, viz., Rs. 205. 



Of the four plant-to-plant selections of yellow flowered 

 broad lobed, neglectum type, No. 2 comes first at Rs. 242, 

 No. 4, second, at Rs. 240, No. 3, third, at Rs. 238, and No. 1, 

 fourth, at Rs. 235 (Fine Khandesh of the same date at 

 Rs. 215). 



Of the two yellow flowered narrow lobed neglectum 

 plant-to-plant selections, one is valued at Rs. 235, the other 

 at Rs. 237.
