The yields given are unreliable as tho land is of very unequal 

 capacity. It will be seen from the above statement that Bani has 

 yielded well. The growth of this variety was very vigorous and 

 the bolls opened very freely. It is earlier than all the others. 

 The outturn of Cbauda cold weather is very poor; this is due to 

 the lodging of many of the plants owing to the forcing growth 

 caused by the liquid manure from the byres, which the field had 

 received for some time before the crop was sown. The bolls also 

 did not open freely. The yields of Kumpta and Varacfi are 

 moderate. The percentage of lint to seed cotton in the case o 

 Goghari is higher than any of the other varieties. 



Samples of the above cottons were forwarded to Messrs., 

 Tata and Co., for their opinion and valuation. Their remarks are 

 included in the statement above referred to. 



11. A few plants of each of the 25 varieties oF American 

 cottons were grown for trial. The following five varieties, viz., 

 (I) Truitt, (2) Whittle, (3) Texas long stapled, (4) Tata's Allen 

 Hybrid, and (5) Doughty, were vigorous in growth and yielded fine 

 big bolls. 



12. Tree Cottons. The following varieties of tree cottons, 

 viz.. Bourbon, Peruvian, Brazilian (3 varieties), Caravonica, 

 and Tytler's Kidney, have been grown this year on light soil 

 portions of fields Nos. 3 and 4, 4 gunthas being planted to each. 



In addition to the above a few plants of each of the varieties 

 of tree cottons from the Central Provinces, Madras, Bengal, 

 Central India, and a few plants of the arboreum type have b^ 

 planted in portions of the same field. 



All the cottons came up well. During the hot season the 

 young plants had to be irrigated to keep them alive.

 parative fibre. 



The following statement shows the percentage of fibre to dry
