The numbers selected and the quantity of seed obtained of 

 each are as below : 



Out of these, Nos. 1096, 1108, 1133 and 1201 produced com- 

 paratively much finer lint. Nos. 1133 and 1201 were exhibited at 

 the Surat Exhibition for the superior quality of their fibre. 



A cross of Dharwar American and Varadi from Dharwar station 

 was grown. Most of the plants were attacked by leaf blight. 

 Seed from selected bolls of healthy and prolific plants has been 

 obtained and preserved for next season. 



Crosses were also made between rough but dense fibred 

 Comilla and finer and more prolific Jari and Varadi types, and a 

 sufficient number of bolls was obtained for sowing next season.
