yignor diaoomo Russi, the Austrian
Consul Agent ct Alexandria. He has
found new cotton plant which IL so |

Of a Copt In the Menutia district, who |
collected the seed and sold 1t to his |
neighbors ut twelvefold the price |
obtainable for the ordinary kind. |
The plant has o long stem, and,
being without branches, much space IL |
saved. It bears an average Of fifty pods |
on each bush. while the usual yield Of |
the plant Is about thirty. It yields from |
3e5 to e75, pounds pei. feddan. thus

Of seed Is needed; but the great draw

more water, which necessitates the al |
