Book Description
Excerpt from Hindi Cotton in Egypt Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a paper entitled "Hindi Cotton in Egypt," by Mr. O. F. Cook, of this Bureau, and to recommend its publication as Bulletin No. 210 of the Bureau series. This paper reports the results of a visit to the cotton-growing districts of Egypt in June and July, 1910. It shows that the admixture of inferior Hindi cotton is a serious burden upon the Egyptian industry and that our more intelligent farmers can secure an important advantage through the improved system of selection that has been developed by experiments in Arizona. A careful comparison of the results of the Arizona experiments with the conditions actually existing in Egypt became necessary in order to determine whether a satisfactory degree of uniformity has been attained in our acclimatized strains of Egyptian cotton. A previous study of the problem of diversity of the Egyptian cotton had been made in Arizona, as reported in Bulletins Nos. 147 and 156 of this series.
