Navasari or sometimes better. They have all along been 

 giving good prices to encourage the cultivation and are 

 still ready to continue the same. In the last auction sale 

 Mr. Jijibhoy Ardeshiar Dewecha, Manager, Swadeshi 

 Mills, Bombay, expressed his opinion that the cotton was 

 very good and he would be glad to buy up to 10,000 bales of 

 such cotton grown in the Southern Division. 



In conclusion, it seems highly desirable that, until the 

 cultivation of these two cottons becomes permanent on an 

 extended scale, the auction of these should be continued by 

 the Department. Similarly the steady supply of good 

 seed (a large quantity from Navasari) will also have to be 

 undertaken annually by the Department." 



Messrs. Tata have the following valuations and remarks 

 on six samples of cotton from the Gadag Farm : —

Both are far superior to Ordinary Saw -ginned 

 Dharwar especially in length and strength of 

 fibre. They have retained some characteristics 

 of American. No. 2 is weaker in fibre than No. 1. 

 No. 1 can spin up to 40's. Value Rs. 260. No. 2 

 can spin up to 30 1 s. Value Rs. 245. 



It is ordinary saw-ginned. Can spin up to 20's 

 Value Rs. 215. 



No. 4 is so nicely ginned that the staple does not 

 seem to be cut as it ordinarily ought to appear. 

 The length of staple almost equals that of No. 5, 

 roller ginned. Can spin up to 32's. Value both 

 Rs. 240. 



It is superior to Nos. 4 and 5 especially in strength 

 of fibre. Can spin up to 40's. Value Rs. 260. 



Bases of prices are the same as those given for the six 

 samples of Dharwar above. 



An analysis of the valuations and average outturn 

 places the Gadag samples in the following order : — 



(1) Dharwar-American, New Orleans type 



(2) Christopher x Culpepper 



(3) Dharwar-American, Ordinary . 



(4) Dharwar-American, Upland type 



(5) Cambodia, saw-ginned
