Exotic cottons at Gadag. New Orleans, imported 



from the United States of America, in 1908, does not 



differ now from Dharwar-American. The seed, at first 

 naked, is now fuzzy. 



Allen's Long Staple is coming down to the local per- 

 centage and Boyd's Prolific has changed in the same way. 



Texas Long Staple is maintaining its percentage better. 



Texas Long Staple and Allen's Hybrid are the best of 

 the exotics at Gadag. They ought to be put to the test on 

 a larger scale, as soon as possible. 



Dickson, Peerless and Cook are also to be tried on a 

 larger scale next season. 



In alternate lines of Dharwar-American and Cambodia 

 evidence of inter-crossing is apparent to the extent of one 

 per cent. The belief is gaining ground that Cambodia is 

 more suitable than Dharwar-American for dry areas.
