102 REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE 



Sindewahi. Here there are a number of good selec- 

 tions of rosea. Mr. Clouston proposes to reduce these to 

 one or two, basing the selection on ginning percentage and 

 acreage outturn, the highest ginning percentage so far 

 being 42. 



One sample of roseum was reported on by Messrs. Tata 

 & Sons as equal to Superfine Bengal, spinning up to 10's 

 and valued at Rs. 240 per candy. The ginning percentage 

 of this variety was 39-9. The outturn was 1,035 lb. seed 

 cotton per acre, so that the actual value of this cotton per 

 acre works out to Rs. 126-6-0. 



Cambodia was ripening at the same time as Bhuri and 

 not later, as is usually the case. 



Messrs. Tata made the following remarks on a sample 

 submitted to them : — 



" Cambodia has greatly improved on the Chancla soil. 

 The feel is soft, staple longer and stronger. Value Rs. 350, 

 i.e., equal to the full market value of the day. It can 

 spin 40's." The percentage of cotton to seed was 34-8 and 

 the outturn 534 lb. This gives an actual acreage value of 

 the cotton, Rs. 82-15-0. Bhuri was said to be equal to the 

 above, but with stronger staple, and it is valued at Rs. 355. 

 The percentage was 33-7, acreage yield 492 lb., the value of 

 the cotton being Rs. 75-1-0 per acre. 



Acclimatized Allen's Hybrid from Nagpur looked well 

 and bore a high quality of lint. No sample of the cotton 

 was submitted for examination. 



Leake's " K 7 " is a smaller type of plant than any found 

 in the Central Provinces. It is very prolific, being covered 

 with bolls, which are, however, of small size. The per- 

 centage of cotton to seed is 32-6, the outturn 920 lb. It is 

 valued at Rs. 250 on account of its softness and slightly 

 longer staple. All the varieties of this type tried in the 

 Jari tract were valued at Rs. 235. The acreage outturn of 

 K 7 works out to Rs. 95-10-0. 



Bani x Deshi Lahore Cross. This is very promising, 

 the lint is similar to Malvensis, but the ginning percentage 

 is 35-5 and the yield per acre, last year, was 600 lb. The
