Abstract
THE British Cotton Growing Association was inaugurated in 1902 with the object of extending the cultivation of cotton throughout parts of the British Empire where conditions should prove suitable. During the eight jears that have elapsed, valuable information has been acquired by means of pioneering expeditions and experimental cultivation in more remote parts of the Empire and from the results yielded by private undertakings that have been liberally assisted with technical advice and financial means. As it was announced a year ago, the inquiry stage is practically completed, and it has been idecided to concentrate the main efforts of the association oon the work in Nigeria, Uganda, Nyasaland, and the West Indies. The present state and future outlook of the ocotton industry are therefore opportunely summarised in othe address delivered by Mr. J. H. Reed before the Royal Geographical Society on Monday, December 5.
