108 REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE 



tion should be given to any admixture of varieties that 

 may occur as there is a suspicion that Broach seed is not so 

 pure as it was. 



In Kumpta, the test for quality and quantity should be 

 continued and in the crosses, Kumpta Cross No. 1340 and 

 Kumpta x Ghogari No. 1364 should be grown on as large 

 a scale as possible. 



As the list of varieties has grown to a great length it 

 would simplify matters if the least promising were thrown 

 out. 



Gadag Farm. A sample of Dharwar- American of the 

 farm was valued at Rs. 320, it can spin up to 20's. 



A sample from Ranibennur is superior to the former in 

 length of staple but the cotton is thin and fluffy having 

 more wastage; it was valued at Rs. 310. 



The cultivator's sample is the worst of the lot having 

 very short staple and dull colour. It is valued at Rs. 300 

 and can spin up to 12's. 



Of three samples of Upland type of cottons there is very 

 little difference. They are all bulky and good stapled 

 cottons. Nos. 4 and 5 can spin up to 32's and No. 6 up to 

 20's ; Nos. 4 and 5 are valued at Rs. 335 and 6 at Rs. 330. 



Of the three samples of New Orleans cotton, they are all 

 thin and inferior to Nos. 4, 5 and 6. They can spin from 

 18's to 20's. Value Rs. 315 for No. 7 and 310 for Nos. 8 

 and 9. 



Allen's Hybrid selected for quality and quantity — both 

 samples are better than ordinary Saw-ginned Dharwar- 

 American cotton and are almost equal ; they can spin up to 

 20's and the value is Rs. 320. 



Tata's Allen's Hybrid and Allen Long Staple are 

 superior to the last. They can spin up to 22's and the 

 value is Rs. 335. Texas long staple selected for quality 

 can spin up to 16's and is valued at Rs. 315; that selected 

 for quantity can spin up to 20's and the value is Rs. 325. 

 Boyd's Prolific is equal to good ordinary saw-ginned; can 

 spin 16's, value Rs. 312.
