The seed of a now cotton fror mid-Africa was introduced int this country in a romantic waj ^ according to newspaper storioi This year the newspapers clait: that the now cotton, known uls as tho Jackson cotton, will yiel from three to lour bales per acrt that the plants grow from 12 t 14 feet high, that the staple is s long as to outsell sea island, the there is great excitement about 1 etc. Professor R. J. Reddinj director of the Georgia exper ment station, writing to Th American Agriculturist in repl - to inquiries, says : 4'I tried very hard to got m of the Heed for careful testing, bu without success. I finally pri cured a few seeds ef undoubto purity, and have in progress very careful test in conipetitio with 20 other varioties,l?ncludin only the native improved vt I rieties, such as aro advertised uu sold at 50 cents per bushel an upward by the originators or in provers und bjr the seed dealei of tho country. I find nothin remarkable in tho so called Afri can cotton. It has short fruitin stems containing from two to fir bolls of fair size. It has uaiial! one or two branching stems tha proceed from near the groun and these contain the same ai rangement of short fruiting spur Owing to this arrangement of th branches the main stem grew taller, probably 1 .*? to 'JO per eer taller than moat other variolic. It now proinisi tr> prodn n more cotton per acre than th average product of the otlic varieties. The agriculturist < this station thinks it will prov less productive than any ??f th other varieties. "It has no botanical character indicating that it is even a mv species, much l^sa a new genu; It happened in planting tho 2 varieties that one vnriety of locf Georgia origin occupied adjacon rows and proves almost ideutici )with this so railed foreign cottoi differing, indeed, only in in nc growing bo tall, but it promises larger yield. 1 am of opinio that the .Jackson cotton is simpl a variety of domestic origin. "At the conclusion of our toi ^ I will give a complete and detai ed report of the results. In th meantime the cotton plnntei need uot grow wild over th; "wonderful," phenomenal new cotton. My agriculturist has ! just brought in an open boll of ' the African cotton. It has a fairly good staple, but does not ap- A proa, h sea island in length and ^ fir mess."
