COTTON GROWING IN
THE HEART OF ASIA
Willy Merchants Easily Swindle the Simple Natives
Decline in Crops.

Some interesting details of the his
tory of the Central Asia cotton crop are
contained in the March issue OF the

central Asia is playing an increasingly
important part in the textile industries

have been giving the crop careful atten-

Last year was unfavorable for the
production OF cotton in Central Asia
the yield being 13.I below that Of 1901
which was also small. Cotton grown
from American seed decreased 32.2 per
cent. but native cotton increased 32.5
per cent. The total decline is attributed
to restriction of the area under cuiti-
vatiOn. AS has been the case in other
localities where a particular crop was
suddenly found TO be extremely profita-
BILE. the natives OF Turkestan adopted
cotton with a rush. to the exclusion OF
other crops Money for their opera

merchants who derived the benefit of any
