Goghart has generally increased. The Indian Cotton Committee record the 
following proportions in the mixture in different areas :—

In spite of this condition of hopeless mixture, the three types can be 
traced throughout, and though hybridized and rehybridizxd again and 
again the plant and produce can always be referred to one or other of the 
descriptions given above. 
It would be interesting to connect the proportion of these three types 
‘of herbaceum cotton with conditions of climate and soil, but though a few 
general indications can be given, the time is not yet ripe nor our inquiries 
sufficiently advanced to come to any but the most provisional conclusions in 
the matter. 
In the first place, however, it is fairly clear that Wagad cotton dominates 
the situation only where the soil has a tendency to be saltish and where 
the rainfall is likely to be deficient. The soil may be either heavy or light. 
It is stated, though it is not equally certain, that the tracts, which grow 
Goghart best and where it yields more highly than any other variety of 
herbaceum cotton in Gujarat, are, where the soil is moderately light, of a
