Most of India's cotton is short staple, coarse fiber, low-yielding, ginning percentage 25-33 (the ginning percentage is the proportion of fiber or lint to seed). Most of the Indian varieties have a hairy leaf. Most good long staple cottons have a smooth leaf. The smooth leaf is readily attacked by insects while the hairy leaf is not. Mr. Leake, Director of Agriculture of the United Provinces at Cawnpur, has crossed different varie- ties of cotton so that he now has a hairy-leafed, long- staple ...cotton with a high-ginning percentage of 35-40 per cent. This cotton is worth more per pound than the short staple. Mr. Roberts, Principal of the Agri- cultural College at Lyalpur, Punjab, has done much to increase the yields and quality of American cotton grown in the Punjab. He has further devised a scheme for selling this improved cotton which gives a fair share of the increase to the farmer who grew the cotton. 42 THE GOSPEL AND THE PLOW Mr. Clouston, Director of Agriculture for the Central Provinces, has isolated a high yielding local variety, "Roseum," which gives five dollars an acre net profit more than the local variety.
