Cotton Growing in India #261662

I venture to express the Opinion that the present report Of Mr. Arno Schmidt's second visit will, in view Of the exhaustive informa tion it contains, be Of equal value. Mr. Schmidt assures me that since his first visit to India a decided improvement is noticeable in many directions. The quanti ties Of long staple cotton already produced are a confirmation Of the Opinion expressed by a deputation Of English and Indian cotton spinners who waited upon Viscount Morley Of Blackburn, o.m., then Secretary of State for India, on July 27th, 1910, that it is to India that the cotton industry must look for the speediest increase in the. Production Of improved staple cotton.
