The crossing has materially 

 improved in the length and 

 strength of staple over 

 Assam. There seems to be 

 no deterioration. If any- 

 thing, it has improved. 

 Value Rs. 285. 

 In crossing, it has obtained 

 white colour of Ghogari and 

 in staple it is ordinary 

 Kumpta. Value lis. 290. 

 It seems to have improved. 

 Value Rs. 300. 

 Compared with Nos. 1 to 0, 

 there can be no compari-

 «j of staple. Of the two, 

 ; No. 19 is superior to 

 No. 21 which is even 

 weaker than Kumpta in
