tired horses until many of them gave

forward on foot Some of the mounted

with the same labor. If possible they
must be furnished with draught animals.
Although it was known that no animal
could resist the climate, twenty horses
and twenty oxen were brought from the
interior. The tsetse fly soon began its
fatal work and by September all the aLi-
mails were dead. Experiments should be
continued with native horses. After our
animals died it was necessary to depend
on native labor for everything, and ma
tives drew the bales of cotton to the
coast in lumber wagons. Portable en-
gines should be introduced to furnish
power for ginning and baling, and a
railway should be built from the coast
inland. Our experience has given us
every reason to believe that in a few
years it will be possible to export many
thousand bales of cotton from the colony
of Togo. This will not have any effect
on the markets of the world, but it will
be of advantage to Germany and espe-
cially to the two and a half millions OF
natives in the colony.
Under present conditions the cost of
a 500 pound bale of cotton determined at
Bremen, inclHding ginning, pressing and
moving to the coast by native labor, ship
ping expenses, sundries, insurance, etc 3.
is 255 marks (about $63.00). If crossing
native with American seeds makes it
possible to get a bale from 1,500 pounds
of seed cotton, and the introduction of
steam power for ginning, baling and
hauling lowers the cost to equivalent ex-
penses in America, it should be possi-
Bile TO produce bale of cotton OF the
same quality to be laid down in Bremen

COTTON PLANTING IN AFRICA.
Report of Work at the Experimental Station
atTogo.
(By the Associated Press.) }

(By the Associated PreSs.)
Atlanta, Ca, March 2S.-The German
Colonial Economic Society of Berlin has
issued an elaborate report of the work
of the experimental cotton plantation in
Togo, West Africa, managed by ]. H. CAL
loway and three young negroes from
Booker Washington's school at Tuske-
gee. Ala. The following is an abstract
from Superintendent Calloways state
ment to the society, which is included in
the report
"Our planting covered six months time,
but can be divided into two periods
from March TO June and from July to
August. The rainy season began in
March, but was very light at first. On
March q we planted our first American
cotton about one and a half acres. This
sprouted quickly and grew nicely. After
one month it was foot and half high.
April brought frequent, light rains 1t
was a good month for planting. During
this month we planted twelve acres OF
American cotton. In May twenty acres
were planted. The rain during May was
very heavy but did not injure the growth
of the plants In the first days of July
very damaging rains came. The bolls of
the early crop were entirely destroyed.
The plants rusted and the bolls rotted
without opening. Only two bales of cot
ton were harvested from seed planted
before July; much more perished in the
field.
'In the months of July and August
twenty acres We're planted with American
and Egyptian cotton. September and Oc-
tober had less rain but clouds and fog
continued By the end of October there
was more sun and higher temperature.
Seeds planted in July and August pro-
duced in December what would in Amer
lea be called half crop. small area
was planted in October, but with little
success, as rain ceased to fall soon after.
I'm the experiments we used native
American (upland and sea island) ana
Egyptian seed. Next year Peru seed VIII
be tried. The largest part of the SEED
sown was American. ! believe that by
planting the seed in late summer ana
thus avoiding the heavy rains good re-
suits can be obtained with American cot
ton. It is probable, too, that better re-
suits can be obtained by using cotton
seed or artificial fertilizers. | am OF the
opinion that by crossing native win
American cotton a variety adapted TO the
colony can be secured.
zone hundred acres of land in all were
cultivated Up to the end OF December
fwentv-three bales of cotton were IN
readiness to ship. Thirteen of these
were from native seed, nine from Aneri-
can seed and one from Egyptian seed.
The natives grow cotton as secondary
product with yams. There is sufficient
GOOD cotton land. The expedition intends
to distribute good cotton seed to the
natives. In native cotton the proportion
between lint and seed was 1900 pounds
of seed cotton to bale of 500 pounds.
The crop from American seed showed he
same proportion as in America, J. e.,
500 pounds of seed cotton to bale
"The natives must be taught to cultt-
vate more cotton on the same ground
