NEW KIND OF COTTON.
Exceedingly Prolific and Growing
TO Greater Height.

Exceedingly Prolific and Growing
to Greater Height
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. l4.-One of the most
UNIQUE features of the cotton growers .on-
vention today was the exhibition of new
variety of cotton known as the Africa
limbIess. If what is claimed for the cot
ION IS true, its advent means IL revolution
in the cotton world. Connected with the
cotton is an interesting story.
1t seems that in 1898, AdoIph Kyle, while
wandering over CentraIAfrca, came across
a new species Of giant cotton in the valley
, of the Congo River. The plant was not
under cultivation. but appeared to grow
wild ard flourish on the marsE-lands. II
differ ed from other cotton, in that many
of tie stalks were as nigh as twenty feet,
and the halls were connected directly to the
sta,I without any intervening limb, as is
the case with American cotton and Indian
cotton.
Much impressed with the wonderful ap-
pe4rance of tile plant, Kyle cut off a sec
tion eighteen inches long. On this small
section alone he counted 81 bolls of the
size of the average cotton plant In
1894, he interested F. W jackson, a
planter of this State, in the new variety
and he has succeeded in raising stalks
from eight 10 fourteen feet high.
