Fic. 4. Variation in length of staple in the middle of the seed 
in Goghari B21. 
The strain so described is a very heavy yielder in an ordinary year, the 
best in fact among our strains, but in a year of drought it is much affected 
and the yield decreases more in proportion than with the strain E5. The bolls 
open well, which is also an advantage as this means ease of picking. These 
are its only advantages for with its low and very uneven staple—though it 
may be useful for crossing in order to get higher yield in a district of good 
rainfall—; it is, as it stands, a very low class of Goghari cotton. 
Strain C22. 
All our strains which have been marked as ‘‘C’’ were originally selected 
in 1914-15 on the basis of a small spherical boll. These were picked because 
Middleton (Joc . cté. ) suggests that under the name of Gundi Goghari types of 
cotton with small and round bolls gave cotton of quality higher than the
