8. Upland American Cottons. Thirty varieties were grown 

 at the Station ; from these the following eight have been selected 

 for extended trial : 



i. Texas long staple, 

 ii. Smith's Improved, 

 iii. Truitt. 



iv._ Tata's Allen Hybrid. 

 v. W. A. Cook, 

 vi. Henderson Black, 

 vii. Boyd's Prolific, 

 viii. Texas Big Boll. 



9. Sea Island Cotton. Five varieties were grown last 

 season but did not seem suitable for the land. 



10. Local Sindhi Cotton. Two plots were grown of which 

 the earlier sown did well and gave a yield of 988 Ibs. of seed 

 cotton per acre ; its value however is only about Rs. 5 per maund 

 of 80 Ibs. 



11. Tree Cottons. Seven varieties were sown in a small 

 plot of good land but do not appear to be suitable for the soil 

 and climate of Sind. 



12. Jute and San. The jute was not successful, yielding 

 a small crop and poor fibre. San which is grown locally is much 

 more resistant and will grow where jute will not germinate. 

 The fibre is however not of much value. It is probable that 

 hemp would be more successful than jute. It will be tried on the 

 Station.

13. Wheat. The following statement gives the results of 

 the wheat varieties grown at the Station :
