84 STUDIES IN GUJARAT COTTONS 
each ina mixture to be determined. In addition to these characters by 
which Goghari cotton can always be detected, there are certain general 
commercial differences which distinguish any lots of the two types of cotton 
which may be placed on the market. These are as under :— 
1. The lint in Goghari cotton is shorter than in Broach deshi, and this is 
practically universally the case among all the strains of each kind that have 
beenexamined. The attached table and graph ( p. 85 ) show the frequency of 
different lengths of staple in an average pure strain of each variety, the lint 
being taken from the middle of the seed.

Though, therefore, there may be seeds among a sample of Broach deshi 
cotton which bear lint hairs shorter than those found in Goghari, yet in practi- 
cally every case the average staple is shorter in the latter than in the former, 
and so far no strain of Goghari has been evolved or selected which has 
an average staple as long as even the lower types of Broach deshi cotton. 
2. The ginning percentage, or in other words the proportion of 
weight of lint to weight of kapas, is much higher in the case of Goghari 
cotton than in the case of Broach deshi. It is this quality which has caused 
the large extension of the growth of Goghari cotton, and we may illustrate 
the difference between the two types we are comparing by a table showing
