Do you want a light brown color, do you prefer a white, do you want a dark brown, or do you want all colors? Mr. Walter E. Parker. We want all of them. Mr. H. J. WEBBER. Is it a decided advantage to have a deep brown color? Mr. Walter E. Parker. It is in some instances. Mr. H. J. WEBBER. Well, we can produce the dark brown color without question, because the Peruvian is a very dark brown, but it is coarse ; it will have to be improved by infusing Sea Island and strains of that nature. Mr. C. M.... Sears. How can the average farmer secure the seeds if this is such a slow process? Mr. H. J. WEBBER. As soon as the hybrids have been tested so that we know they are stable varieties, there will be some means found of producing them so that they will be put in the hands of growers. But at the present time they have only been grow- ing one or two years, and it requires from five to six years to perfect them. You see after getting the hybrid it is absolutely necessary to fix it and render it stable, because hybrids are notoriously variable ; so it will require from five to six years longer to fix the strains we have already secured.
