Cotton Growing in West Africa.

According to advices from West
Africa the movement to further cot
ton growing in the British West Afri-
can possessions is rapidly developing,
and the prospect is said to be very
encouraging. For some time past the
cotton spinners of Lancashire have
been considering the question, ana
have readily identified themselves
with 1t. Since the success Of the Ger
mar experiments In Togoland it has
been decided to follow up the matter.
With the object of proving that by
the use of trained colored labor and
by proper methods Of cultivation q
great success can be made of cotton
growing in the Sierra Leone Protec-
torate and Colony, which comprise
some thirty-four thousand square
miles, and in the other colonies and
Nigeria, which contain about five
hundred and fifty thousand square
miles, a commercial exploration COM
pany has been formed in England, and
the manager is equipping his force for
the work.
