Abstract
IT has long been a weak point in the scientific investigation of the agriculture of the British tropical dominions that we have had no stations where problems that are fundamental and underlying, affecting all tropical countries alike, could be attended to. Local departments of agriculture are necessarily and rightly occupied with local questions, and authorities might look askance-at such a department if it were to devote itself, for example, to the fundamental problem of the connexion between lint characters in cotton and spinning qualities.
