AUSTRALIA A COTTON COUNTRY
Preparations Made to Undertake
Growth on Large Scale.

Australians are expecting to be cote
ton growers. The suitability or soh
and climate for cotton growing in the
greater part Of Queensland; northern
West Australia, and the vast. north
,ern territory Of South Australia has
long been placed beyond dispute, bat
the paucity of population, apart from
other considerations, hitherto has
been an obstacle to the development
of cotton growing. In the northern
territory the cotton plant has ditruSsd
itself without mans helpS and may ar
most be regarded as a part OF the
North Australia fora. no less than
seven out of the eight known species
oflourishing there. Some years ago
a cotton mill was established in
Queensland. tut failed for want OF
capital. low prices. and lack of expert
ence. This discouraged the farmers
who tnrned to dairy farming. Things
are different nov. The farmers have
faith oonce more in cotton growing
and are ready to undertake it on large
scales If assured Of sufficient .laboT
in packing season. 1t is said that
an average farmers family could
/ work out an, area Of from five to ter
acres. besides doing other farm work
