Spence Cotton Tree of India Not
Yet a Rival of American Plant

nar,rnents with the Spence cotton. and
the following is their report dated
September IL. 1906
1--we have passed the four bags OF
Snence cotton through the process OF
spinning and weaving and forward you
sample of cloth made therefrom. which
we believe is the finest that has ever
been made in the power looms from
India-grOWn cotton The cIotn IS
made from 4O's warp and SOS welt, and
from this trial we are satisfied that
the cotton will spin a good Dos warp
and 7O's welt From this cloth can be
made fine dhoties. for which great
demand exists In India, particularly on
the Bengal side, thanks to the Swa-
deshf movement. For India to be able
TO grow such cotton Is one of the
best things that the India mills could
wish for and will open quite new and
very profitable trade if they viii get
machinery suitable for the longer sta
pie If we had had a larger quantity
of cotton with which we could have
continued the trial. making necessary
changes. we are sure still finer cloth
could be made from il. The total loss
of weight in blowroom Is only per
cent, and we would gladly give IA
cents for this cotton.
Upon this Mr. Michael makes the fol-
lowing comment:
Il hope that the experiments OF Mr..
Spence and Professor knight with this
tree will demonstrate all that Is claimed
for the plant. but for the present must
confess skepticism. Mr.. Spence's let
ter sounds more like a prospectus than
that OF a scientist or an agriculturist
who is anxious to give to the public
only that which can be relied on In
any event. IL will not be to the detri-
ment of American grown cotton, for if
the plant proves a success In India II
will also prove a success In the cotton
States Of America. Under the circum-
stances, all we can do Is to hope that
the Spence cotton plant may prove a
success and wait and see."

Algerian Commerce
n HE British Consul at Algiers, in
his report on the commerce of

"HE British Consul at Algiers, in
his report on the commerce of
Algeria for 1905, shows that times
have not been very prosperous
lately in that French colony. This is
said to be due to the bad weather con-
ditions, which have had disastrous
effect On most of the agricultural and
pastoral industries Grain crops were
indifferent, and though vines did bet
ter the low prices received for wines
left vineyard owners in much the same
plight as farmers. The cold and wet
also induced high mortality among
sheep, causing considerable falling
on In the number exported. Imports
last year fell of $4,000, 900, while ex-
ports showed a decline Of $4,000, 900.
The yield of cereal harvests was large
iy decreased as compared with the
previous year, and also the yield of the
vines. The sales Of marketable cork
wood from the State forests amounted
to $500 tons, as compared with 400
tons the previous year. The high tarifr
prevents foreign imports to a very
large extent, though the Consul says
that the British manufacturers do not
make even the best of what few
chances do happen to come their way.

4 MICHAEL supplies further infor-
,mation on the Spence cotton tree Of
India in a report from Calcutta He
says: In a former report on spence
cotton I spoke Of 1T as a plant whose
commercial value had not yet oeen
demonstrated. I stated that expert
ments made by Mr.. Spence himself on
the wellao cotton plantations near
Deesa, and the experiments OF Profess
sor ]. B. knight, professor of agricul-
ture at the College of Science, Poona,
could not be interpreted to mean that
the cotton tree had been proved to be
all that Mr.. Spence would have us be-
Iieve. I obtained my information from
an entirely reliable source. MY IN
formant is a scientist of large observa-
ton, and he paid personal visits 10 ooth
the plantation Of Mr.. Spence and to the
experiment garden of Professor Knight
The latter did not hesitate to concede
that the plant had not yet been proved
to be a reliable cotton producer, and
Mr.. Spence was unable to show to my
informant proofs that his experimenta-
ton was conclusive as to the CONNER
cial value of the plant. Since wrltlns
my former report on this subject MI
Spence has written a letter to the edi-
tor of the Calcutta Statesman, which
reads as follows:
