a new COTTON REGION.
African Cotton Equals American
Demonstrated by Negroes From
Tuskegee College.

Berlin, March 13.-The negroes of
the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
institute who were engaged the latter
part Of 1900 by the German govern
ment to teach the natives of Togo
land, German West Africa, how to
grow cotton have, according to the re-
port of the colonial committee, sue
ceeded in producing cotton which is
graded on the Bremen exchange above
American middling. The Tuskegee
negroes have demonstrated that the
land in Togoland is suitable for cotton
of which there is great abundance.
The only obstacle to the commercial
utilization OF this product is transpor-
tation and especially getting. the bales
to the coast. The colonial committee
has sent an expedition OF engineers
to survey for railroad from the coast
town of Lone to Palime, in the inte-
rior.
