INDIAN COTTON A FAILURE.
Both Staple and Yield Have Proven
Disappointing.

A Washington dispatch says diff
Guilty is experienced by cotton grow
ers in India with both staple and
yield. Many experiments have been
made with the object of improving
both, reports Consul E. Halderman
Dennison, of Bombay, but thus efar,
with indifferent success. Egyptian
and other exotic varieties have been
introduced from time to time, but
the results have not been encourag-
ing.
Under garden culture the finer sta
pies have responded well, but tried
in the fields, they have failed to pro-
duce the results they show in their
native soils. Future efforts will be
devoted 10 the improvement of the
staple and yield Of the native cot
ton. A tree cotton from which great
results were predicted a few years
ago, has poven disappointing accord
ing to the consul. 1t did very well
in garden trials, but when the at
tempt was made to grow it upon
large scale, failure followed.
