BRITISH COTTON
GROWING ASSN
GOVERNMENT WILL ENCOURAGE
INDUSTRY IN SIERRA LEONE
AND NIGERIA.
Special to The Journal.


London, Feb. IS-At the annual
meeting of the British Cotton Grow
ing Association last night the presi-
dent ]. E. Newton announced that the
colonial Office had decided TO make
large grants TO encourage cotton grow
inG in Sierra Leone and in Northern
Nigeria. 1t was reported that the new
seasons crop was now beginning to ar
rive from British East and British
Central Africa, and is of good quality.
A syndicate which is being formed to
develop the cotton growing industry
in East Africa will shortly commence
operations on a large scale, and the
latest reports from the district are
very favorable. An allotment was
made of 1874 shares. which hal been
applied for during the month, appli-
cation for 2144 of which had come
from New York. In the course of his
annual address the president said
that if the steady progress IN the cot
ton growing industry continued there
need be no dependence on any foreign
country for cotton in the course of a
year or two. Reports from Egypt
show the seasons crop to be an ex-
ceilent one.
