The Deputy Director of Agriculture of the Central 

 Circle submitted for valuation samples from nine selections 

 of acclimatized Cawnpore-American Cotton. All were 

 grown under irrigation. The yield from these, this year, 

 was very unfavourable, being about 560 lb. of kayas per 

 acre but in good years the unselected crop gives on the 

 farm 720 to 800 lb. per acre on a large scale and has yielded 

 up to 1,200 lb. per acre. The ginning percentage of these 

 selections is 31 to 33. 



Messrs. Tata reported as follows on these samples : —
