BRITISH GROWN COTTON

interesting report on British cotton culti-
vation. 114. has examined samples of
«.(ton mostly resulting from native culti-
vation or experimental Gauls in British
territory, end he says that several vari-
eties of upland American cotton alight
be acclimatiziel and established in Eng-
lend's African colonies, but careful and
prolonged !rials will be needed in order
to demonstrate with certainly that this
it the case.
There can, however, be little doubt,
the professor adds, that ninny of the more
valauble American varieties will not
prove to be so satisfactory when grown
in countries of different soil And climate,
and in ,which fertilization and other ac-
companiments of highly advanced culti-
vation are not at present possible. \\'hal
is urgently needed, he points out, are
systematic experiments in improving na-
tive cotton, which can only be success-
fully conducted on scientific linos and
be trained specialists.
In this connrtion great diflicullies have
Leen encountered by the British Cotton
Growers' Assoeiallon, chiefly owing to
the virtual impossibility of securing at
