cent, more than Hinghanghat. Roseum everywhere is a 

 strong competitor against Bhuri, which will be restricted 

 ultimately to wilt-infected areas. 



Cotton from the Sindewahi Farm was reported on as 

 follows by Messrs. Tata and Sons of Bombay : — 



Roseum. Compared with roseum grown on the Akola 

 Farm, it is a little longer in staple and softer 

 in feel, though the class is dull. Can spin up to 

 12's. Value Rs. 190 per candy or equal to the 

 price of Akola cotton on the day. 



Bani x Deshi Lahore. Seems to be a little better in 

 staple than the same variety sent from the 

 Akola Farm; though not so bright as the other. 

 Can spin up to 22's and 24's. Value Rs. 240 

 per candy. 



Cambodia. Compared with bani of the Akola Farm 

 it is weaker in fibre and a bit shorter in staple. 

 Can spin up to 30's. Value Rs. 260 per candy. 



An analysis of these valuations based on the acreage 

 outturn of seed cotton and percentage of cotton to seed 

 shows that in actual values the three varieties from Sinde- 

 wahi stand as follows : — 



Roseum, Rs. 65 per acre. 



Cambodia, Rs. 59 per acre. 



Bani x Deshi Lahore, Rs. 40 per acre. 



On the same basis nine varieties of cotton received from 

 the Akola Farm stand as follows : — 



(1) Bani x Deshi Lahore 



(2) Gossypium neglectum, var. rosea . 



(3) Gossypium neglectum, var. Cutchica 



(4) Gossypium neglectum, var. Malvensis 



(5) Gossypium hirsutum, var. Bhuri . 



(6) Gossypium neglectum, var. vera . 



(7) Gossypium indicum (Bani)
