" Against this we give you the result of 20's spun from Kumpta

The cotton you supplied is better than the Cambodia we have 

 seen this year and fully Rs. 20 per candy better than Kumptas from 

 the surrounding districts. We send you a sample knot of 20\s spun 

 from Dharwar selected and ordinary Kumptas." 



Dharwar- American has stood the test of time fairly well 

 and, if its weaker companion, New Orleans, is cleared out, 

 it may be a more certain crop than it is at present. 



This type is grown late in parts which enjoy the advan- 

 tage of two rainy seasons, and the north-east monsoon 

 is absolutely essential to it. It is found mixed to a greater 

 or less extent with the local Jowari Hatti or Kumpta and 

 also less evidently so with Cambodia round Ranibennur. I 

 have already stated that the mixture with Kumpta may not 

 be taken as fraudulent. 



As regards results from the separate tests with Upland 

 Georgian and New Orleans during three successive seasons, 

 the Upland type gave 50 lb.- more seed cotton per acre than 

 the ordinary field mixture, it gins 3 to 4 per cent, more and 

 in value it commands Rs. 10 to 15 more per candy of lint. 

 The New Orleans not only gives a lower percentage and 

 poorer quality but it is behind in out-turn. It has also been
