COTTON SUPPLY ASSOCIATION.

At the ueusl weekly meeting of the executive

grown from Egyptian Ned is the arid and seedy soil of
Ennoreot era coast village tea miles to the north of Madras.
Irrigation was employed twice • day, before sunrise is the
morning mid after men is the evening. The eddy plaid
of Enema are mach exposed to the land "dada, which
affected the tress considerably, but notwithstanding very
serviceable cotton has been grown, and it in proposed to ester
late the caltivatioa upon • larger scale. The result" of
the experimeste already made afford encourap-
meat to still further efforts, ad with other varieties
at seed. A letter was received from Dr. Shank who bee
recently removed from Obiaglepent to Madras, stating that,
m pseud superinteodent of vaccination, he will have to go
ewer the whole of the Madras or Southern presidesey, and
to visit the interior of each district. He proposes to avail
himself of the opportesity of ascertaining and examining
W progress of cotton cultivation, and to communicate the
result of his Woollies to the mediation. His knowledge
of the vernacular of that part of lad* and kin imperiled*
is the growth and preparation of cotton will, it is believed,
reader his investigations valuable. A letter was read from
the honorary agents of the emaciation at Bombay,
reporting
that they kW supplied Sea Weed, New Orleans,aid
Egyptian seed for experimental purposes in Hattivrar, as
well as several gine. The result of these efforts, which are
made under the direction of ormaiderable intelligence
and zeal, will in doe course be communicated. A
model farm has been established at Booldans, which is de-
sisted to he a depot for the gratuitous distribetion of good
seed to those who are likely to make a proper use of it, and
to exhibit the results of various kinds of geed and tillage on
• large scale. A careful selection of the seed from the crop
of Americas and indipeous cotton is made, and though dm
former, as a gamed rule, bait degenerated in Beret, mod-
tioos to this have been found., and it is hoped that the
methods employed will ensure • permanent improvement.
