Introduction. As we all know, cotton fabrics form the bulk of the clothing of the people of this country. Rice many take the place of wheat as an article of food, cholam and other minor millets might replace rice but so far nothing cheaper has been found suitable to replace cotton as an article of clothing. Being an economical crop, it is attracting the attention of both the breeder and the cultivator. The breeder's name is made if he succeeds in evolving a strain giving 5 bolls more per plant or having its lint longer by 5 mms. than the local one. It is rare to find a strain with high ginning percentage and long staple combi-ned in high produce of a single plant.
