LONG FIBRE COTTON CAN BE
grown ON SOIL OF PANAMA
This Has Been Demonstrated By John H. HarrGII Cot
ton Planter Of North Carolina Experiments Success

Panama, March 16.-John H. Har-
rell, cotton painter from North Car
DINA, has just demonstrated to the sat-
isfaction of the Panama government
that long fibre cotton can be grown
on Panama soil. Negotiations are
pending for a concession of $4,000
acres on which to grow the staple on Il
large scale. For more than a year Mr.
Harrell has been experimenting on a
small plot of ground at Balboa, the
Pacific end of the Panama canal.
On his experimental farm he has
grown cotton that has fibre from 2 10
to 4 inches long, which is said to be
longer than the cotton generally grown
in the United States. The agriculture
department of the Panama republic de-
clares that the texture also is finer
and more silky than any other cotton
The cotton here is the result of eros
sing the native wild cotton with tha
grown in North and South Carolina

lint Mr.. Harrell believes that as re-
suit of hybridization he will be able to
produce one crop in December and
another in July, just before tne rainy
season begins in earnest.
The wild cotton which Is found in
many sections of Panama is believed
to be originated from the cotton plants
brought here during and Immediately
after the Civil War in the United
States. For a time thereafter consid-
cradle cotton was grown in Panama
but when the price became cheap and
growing was resumed In the states it
became Improbable in Panama.
The Panama government is aiding
Mr.. Harrel in his experiments as also
| is the Isthmian canal commission in
the hopes of reviving the cotton grow
ing industry in Panama.
