C. R. Coleridge who takes the place of r. 1. G. Travers, Khan Bahadur Shalı Nazır Ilusain who replaces Khan Bahadur Vaulvi Joluininud Obaidur Rahman Khan, Mr. Chellaram Shewaram who, on our recommendntion, has been appointed by the Gorror General in Council as the representative of the Kurichi Cotton Asociation and Mr. B. S. Patel wio oflicintos as Director of Agriculture, Bombay, in the absence on leave of Dr. W. Burns. I must also add a word of hourly welcome to Nr. II. C. Short who, at one time, was a member of this committee and is now back in this country on behalf of the Lincashire Indian Cotton Committees Cotton Commissioner for Indili. Is a linison officer between the general ravi cotton interests in India and the Lancashire Committee hic has already toured over som of the cotton tracts of India and I trust he has been impressed with the work in programs for the improvement of the cotton (top in the tracta so far visited. I am looking forward to close co-operation between him and our committee. Besides the aun bugets with which our cold weather meetings (1Te associated, we love several interesting subjects on our agenn. The Manchester International Federation of Music Cotton Spinners' and Manuacturers' Issociations day approached us with a request for a reversion to the original system of marking bules by puncling the press marks on the hoops. It appears that it some Continental Corton Exchungrs, in the process of himpling, portions of the lessian coverings of beslis 2011. cut om nu with them sometimes also the press marks. In consequenre, in cases of complaint, -tih bales cannot be traced back to the factories at which they were pressed. I shall not anticipate discussion on the subject but I may ruinark that the original riile requiring press marks to be punched on the hoops was amended at the express request of the cotton trade in India as, owing to the meticulous procedure prescribeci, bales which, in other respects, were a fair render, could be rejected for trilling irregularities in marking whenever merchants found it to their advantage to do so. The mixing of different varieties of cotton which forms the subject of a complaint froin the Lancaslire Indian Cotton Committee is a question that hus long been engaging our attention and the only remedy which we have been able to suggest so far is legislation for the licensing of gins and presses. Such legislation would provide for the withdmwal or suspension of the licenses of presses found guilty of malpractices such as mixing, watering or false packing. it our last meeting we had before us the report of the Special Meeting of the Agricultural Resourch Sub-Committee on the agricultural and other research schiemts of the Committee, but aíter a short discussion its consideration was deferred to this meeting to give menubers suficient time to study the report and express their views on it. The report is accordingly once again on our Agenda. Under subject 8 of the Agends you will be called upon to take an important decision on the question of maintaining a minimum balance ·7 from the accumulated funds of the Committee which has been referre! to us by the Government of India is some of you may recollect, 17 1926 the Committee was decidedly against such a course, but conditions have changed matenally since then and as, owing to the large number of schemes in operation, our ancual expenditure has in recent years been stradıly exceeding our income and diminishing our sparse a mconsideration of the position at this stage mens demble Our Finance Sub Committee has already talen a lead in the matter and Rufgested a minimum halince of Rs 9 lakhs. From the Report of the Cotton Forecast Improvement Sub-Committee you will see that the problem of improrement of the accuracy of cotton forecasts is being tacheel in night camest by this Sub Committee 11) possible sources of information which would throw more light on this subject are being tapped It is particularly gratefying to noto that our efforts to ascertain the carry-ouer of cotton from reason to wearon, nnd the village or extra factory consumption of cotton keem likely to mate nearer to accuracy You have also before you the report of the Special Sub-Committea nppointel by you to consider the question of a wider market for Indian cotton This Sub Committee has already formulated certain recommendations regarding the tanff, exchange and other restrictions operating m foreign countries against the increased consumption of Indian cotton I wish particularly to draw your attention to Sir Richard Jackson's proposal regirling austral a referred to in the report Though the prospect of an assured market in Sustralia for 10 to 12 thousand Luales of Indian short staple cotton is not relatively a very great mitter for Indu, set it shows how with good will and ingcauty the dulierent parts of the Fmpire could, with mutual benefit, re arrange the distabu tion of raw material between them according to the differing needs of their mannfacturing industries Your Agricultural and Technological Research Sub-Committers harn with their usual thoroughness crammed the various subjrets falling within their purview and their recommendations are now before you for conuderation. The report of tho Standing Finance Sub Committee once again furnibry evidence of the careful way in which the financial aspect of the Committee's actrities has been lookal after fire ko last mck It IS AN cicellent recont of useful work done and I am more you will all join mo in expressing our genuine gratitude to the members of this bly who have len o freely an) ungrudgingly of their time and thought to the work of the Committee Gentlemen, I shall not detain you any longer from the work Leforo Fort ·SuurCr..-- ('rinmuti of Vinule, The Minutt's of the bil preting Werte confirm.

In moving the following resolution :-- RESOLUTION 11.--"That the half-yearly report of the Publicity and Propaganda Officer be adopted " the Vice-President said that he had no doubt that the popularity of the Publicity Officer was increasing as a result of his activities and that from what he understood, the Publicity Officer's recent work in the United Provinces had received the approval of the officials there. Mr. D. N. Mahta seconded the resolution. Rao Bahadur C. S. Shirahatti expressing appreciation of the work of the Publicity Officer which, in his opinion, was becoming increasingly popular, said that the propaganda work undertaken by him in the United Provinces was likely to put more money into the pocket of the cultivator. He also referred to the valuable help rendered by the Publicity Officer to the Hubli Cotton Sale Society in its efforts to spread Jayawant cotton in preference to the local Kumpta in the Dharwar District. Jayavant covered during the year over two lakh: of acres and yielded an increase in lint of about 4,000 bales and the quality of the cotton had been appreciated by several mills. Seth Isserdus Varindmal said that the work of the Publicity Officer was niuch appreciated in Sind and that as a result of his propaganda there was an increased demand from Lancashire for Indian cotton. Karachi, in his opinion, was shipping three-fourths of the Lancashire requirements of Indian cotton. Rao Bahadur G. R. Kothare, associating himself with the remarks of the previous speakers, congratulated the Central Cotton Committee in securing the services of Mr. Mihra as its Publicity Officer who carried home to the cultivators the results of research work and said that unless the propaganda of this sort was carried on the money spent by the Committee would be a waste. Khan Bahadur Shah Nazar Husain said that the Publicity Officer was doing good propaganda work in the United Provinces where the cotton growers suffered great losses from the Pink Boll-worm. The Agricultural Department had also taken great pains to improve the cotton of the tract and this jointly with the propaganda work of the Publicity Officer would benefit the cultivator in the United Provinces. Dr. Y. G. Deshpande, endorsing the statements of the preceding speakers, complained that much of the Publicity Officer's time was taken up with work in the United Provinces and the Punjab. He suggested that the Publicity Officer should spend some time in the Central Provinces also. The resolution was carried. SUBJECT 6.--Systent of marking bales– Reference from the International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners' and Manufacturers' Associations. Mr. Burt said that the original method of marking bales had been very satisfactory and served the object which marking of bales was * Appendix I (page 57). + Appendis II (page 59).

·12 Ur. Suklatcala remarked that his experience of American cotton was exactly the same as that of Jr. Coleridge and that rarely was a lot free from rubbish. The variation in loss percentage and class was illso greater in Imerican cotton than in Indian, and but for the conparative cheapness of American cotton he would not take it. The only remedy against this was arbitration, and nothing more. Wiy should then, he asked, Indian cotton alone be differently treated and traced to its source ? He said that as the Bombay Alillowners' Association of late had not been represented at the Congresses, it would be a distinct advantage to Indian cotton, if heirafter thic Committee could arrange to send its representatives. Ur. Roberts thought that the present complaint from the federation was not the outcome of any casual remark made at its mective, but of a written representation made to it. When some years ago he attended a Congress this subject was raised in discussion in a general way and he then pointed out that Lales could be traced to their sources by nicans of the marks on them. That statement was welcomed by the Congress. He fully agreed with the su gestion that, as a matter of policy, India should be represented at these Congresses by those who were in close touch with India. Such a step would lead to the improvement of the world market for Indian cotton. The l'ire-President was not opposed to any bale being traced to its soluce, but he did not like the suggestion that, because one or a few bales were found to have the marks on then accidentally torn off or obliterated, India should revert to the system of stainping marks on hoops. Rao Bahadur G. R. Kothure opposed the suggestion to revert to the old system of punching warks on the hoops, on the ground that of late factory owners hard become fully conscious of the Larm done to the reputation of Indian cotton by such malpractices as mixing, and had considerably checked these practices, i.e., in the Central Provinces and Berar. The.e was no justification whatever, in his opinion, for making this legislation more inconvenient to factory owners. Jr. Chellaran Shelcuram was also opposed to the suggestion of the International Federation being adopted. He did not see any justihcstion in the proposal. Scth Isserdas Varindmal pointed out that Indian shippers were as keen as anybody else in obtaining a good name and good prices for their cotton, and that every care was therefore taken in ginning and pressing to keep up quality and not to get seed mixed up. He had been able to sell without any complaint some 60,000 bales of 50 to 70 per cent. mixture of American cotton. When bales were false packed, the buyers invoiced them back and secured substantial allowances. As bales not marked in accordance with the law in force could be rejected as "not a fair tender," he saw no need whatever for creating greater difficulties by adopting Vr. Burt's proposal.

SUBJECT 7.-Uiring* of different types of Indian collon-Leller from the Chairman, Lancashire Indian Collon Commillce. In opening the discussion Jr. Sallutrala said that the Bombay Government had asked the Bombay Millowners' association for their opinion on the subject of amending the Cotton Ginning and Pressing Factorics .ct to provide for the licensing of gins and presses and that the Association had replied that legislation by the Governinent of ludia was preferable. The problem of mixing was becoming daily more urgent and if the enactment of legislation was left to Local Governments considerable delny would result. IIc therefore thought thut the Coinnittee should ask the Government of Indin to have an all-India legislation as this would achieve the object in view more quickly. Jr. Mahla said that he thought that the Committee would perhaps like to know that the subject of inixing and watering of cotton bud been recently discussed by the Central Provinces Provincial Cotton Committee at its lust meeting held in September 1934. The general opinion of tlint body sus that a permissive clause should be introduced in the Cotton Ginning and Pressing Factories Act so as to enable a Local Government to legislate against this malpractice and a resolution was passed strongly urging the introduction of legislation. He was authorised by the Director of Agriculture to say that this resolution was engaging the serious attention of the Central Provinces Government who had already strongly recommended to the Government of India for an early action in the matter. Dr. Stewart drew attention to a sentence appearing in the letter from a spinner stating that he could not find a shipper of standing who would sell saw ginned American cotton under a guarantee of purity and said that that statement should not be accepted without further enlightenment. He was convinced that there were in India large shippers who were perfectly willing to ship pure cotton under a guarantee of purity which could not be questioned, provided it was profitable for them to do so. If the spinner in question had not been able to get pure cotton he probably was not prepared to pay the price for it. Mr. Coleridge disagreed with the letter received from the Lancashire Indian Cotton Committee us it seemed to hold the view that Iudia was responsible for the sale of mixed Punjab-American cotton. Last year was probably the most favourable year for selling Punjab-American. There was a bumper crop of Punjab-American and the British Cotton Growing Association, Punjab, had grown a record crop, their pure 4F * Appendix III (page 60).

He had no doubt whatever that there was a very large domani for min Punjab-Imerican in Furope and be believed that the demand for thus cotton was eren more in Japan He was in fasour of the munnen!

It was al uncertain whether Indun muils could consume the whole of the Punjal» imerican crop Il grown purr The result would ·16 be that the value of the 4 lakhs bales, when yonn pure, trould drop to the price at which it could be exported. It was all very well to say that mixing of Punjab-American should be stopped, but before making any recommendations against niixing the Committee should seriously consider whether such action was in the interest of the cultivator in the long run. Mr. Saklatvala agreed that if Punjab-American were sold pure, it would fetch a very good price from the millowners in India. Alr. 'onesch, supporting Mr. Coleridge, said that Lancashire spinners could get pure cotton if they were willing to pay the price. His firm also sold pure cotton to Indian mills and no complaints were received. It was not possible for a seller to force pure cotton upon a buyer who • did not want it or who could not afford to pay the price. Japan, for instance, bought only mixed cotton, knowing it was mixed. Lancashire could purchase pure cotton, but it was doubtful whether they would pay the price because they could usually get similar cotton cheaper elsewhere. It must not be overlooked that foreign cottons pay an Import Duty of Rs. 25 per candy the effect of which is an appreciation in the price of all Indian staple cottons which are consumed by the Indian mills. Mr. Roberts said that he had always been opposed to legislation to stop mixing but that the position in the Punjab was so serious, especially this year, that he felt it advisable that the Committee should press very strongly for the licensing of gins and presses. As such legislation, to be successful, had to be worked by Local Governments, he considered that an enabling clause should be introduced in the Cotton Ginning and Pressing Factories Act and that later pressure should be brought to bear on Local Governments to bring this enabling clause into effect. He endorsed the views of Mr. Coleridge and Mr. Vonesch regarding the possibility of Lancashire getting pure cotton provided she paid the price. The Vice-President said that the remarks of the previous speakers presented a new aspect of the case. It was definitely stated that the real demand for mixed Punjab-American cotton came from abroad whereas the Indian demand was for pure cotton and wills in India were prepared to pay the price for it. He therefore wished to know the grounds on which Mr. Coleridge supported the proposal for legislation. He agreed that if legislation was enacted and it was really effective, the quantity of Punjab-American cotton would be considerably reduced. The pure cotton would sell at a higher price, but a market would have to be found for the short staple cotton. For the last two years India had had the greatest difficulty in marketing her short staple cotton and though he would very much like all the produce of India to be marketed pure, the question where the short staple cotton was going to be marketed had to be considered. The danger, too, that Lancashire tould buy Indian cotton only at a favourable parity should not be overlooked. He therefore deprecated hasty legislation based on sentiment or partial information. Opinion was also divided whether such legislation should be permissive or mandatory.

Rao Bahadur Kothare, recalling the representations he had made on more than one occasion in the past about the difficulties of factoryowners if legislation for the licensing of ginning and pressing factories were enacted, said that as the problem of mixing mainly concerned the Punjab and Sind, there was no case whatever for an all-India legislation. He wished to know why it was proposed to penalise the factory-owner although he had no band in the mixing of inferior with superior cotton. This practice was resorted to by the cultivator himself and the factoryowner could not be expected to separate all these different cottons and to press them pure. The duty of the factory-owner was to gin and press cotton in the manner it was brought to him, and he should not therefore be penalised for the sins of the cultivator. Seth Isserdas Varindmal said that Sind and the Punjab produced about 6 lakhs of Punjab-American cotton and that the Lancashire demand was not more than 2 lakhs though it might be more in the future. The remaining 4 lakhs were mostly bought by Indian mills in a pure state and they paid a price of eren Rs. 2-8-0 or Rs. 3 more per maund or Rs. 30 per khandi. The same cotton when offered to shippers even at a few annas less was refused as they could not get that price from foreign countries. Shippers wanted 20 or 30 per cent. mixed cotton for shipping abroad, and if the quantity of desi cotton in the Punjab was insufficient, inferior cotton was brought from outside and mixed. The factory-owners were thus only meeting the demand of shippers. In addition the administrative difficulties mentioned by the Vice-President required very careful consideration as Government Officers were likely to harass the factory owners. In reply to a question by the Vice-President Dr. Stewart said that he was not aware that cotton was imported into the Punjab from the United Provinces for the purpose of mixing. Mr. Allan said that a certain amount of cotton went to Delhi for mixing, but he could not say whether it was exported to the Punjab. Seth Isserdas Varindmal said that cotton was brought from Aligarh to Okara and mixed with Punjab-American in the proportion of 50 to 50. The Vice-President said that if cotton was imported from Aligarh for mixing, there should be some legislation in the Punjab on the lines of the Cotton Transport Act to prevent the import of this cotton. Nir. Roberts said that he was not certain that United Provinces cotton was being imported into the Punjab but he knew that cotton came in from Delhi, Seth Isserdas Varindmal said that inferior cotton was brought from the eastern side to the northern side of the Punjab where it was mixed with Punjab-American because of the demand for such misture ; Punjab-American got a better price when mixed with desi and mixing was, therefore, advantageous both to the grower and the buyer.

This had to be stopped. The argument that all factoryowners were going to be penalised was groundless. When issuing licenses. Government would only require in the first place the factory-owners to give a declaration that they would not deliberately mix cotton. Every reputable ginner would respect his own declaration and the few factories which continued mixing deliberately could easily be tackled without the necessity for an army of inspectors. The licensing of gins and presses was merely a logical sequence of the Cotton Ginning and Pressing Factories Act and the Cotton Transport Act. These Acts, contrary to expectations, had not proved successful. Instances had occurred where bales had not been traced back to their sources and also. short-staple cotton still went, for mixing, from the United Provinces to. the Punjab where the Cotton Transport Act had not yet been applied. It was immaterial whether the Lancashire, Japan or Indian mills were. responsible for the mixing as loug as this practice gave a bad name to. Indian cotton and in the interests of the growers the evil should be put all end to. He bad no objection to consider any reasonable alternative proposal to prevent mixing but no such proposal was forthcoming. Lancashire was not likely to offer a better price when she knew that she would probably not get pure cotton. He was therefore strongly of opinion that the Committee should abide by its past resolutions, and that if all-India legislation for licensing gins and presses was not wanted, provincial legislation should be insisted on. Seth Sakarlal Balabhai, supporting Mr. Saklatvala, said that the demand from abroad for mixed cotton was no reason why the practice of mixing should be encouraged or continued. Spinners in India found great difficulty in getting pure cotton. There was nothing to fear about price if factory-owners ginned and baled their cotton pure and were not allowed mixing Dr. Chunilal B. Mehta observed that though the discussion had brought out several interesting points it was not clear whether the evil of mixing or the demand for mixed cotton was increasing. Geperally sellers were at the mercy of buyers and if therefore there was a demand for mixed cotton from Japan and other foreign countries it was neither in the interest of the cultivator nor trade to refuse to eet such demand. Indian mills would continue to buy pure cotton which could always be had as at present. He thought that if Punjab-American were not allowed to be mixed with desi cotton the price of surplus cotton of both short and long staple varieties was bound to fall considerably, pure short staple cotton for lack of demand from Japan and pure Punjab- American for low prices offered by Lancashire. This would naturally lead to a heavy loss to the Punjab cotton grower and a reduction of the acreage under cotton in the Punjab. He was therefore against legislation to stop the present practice of mixing. AIr. B. S. Patel was of opinion that originally mising might not be the result of demand and that cotton arrived at the market mixed irrespective of any marketing conditions. In either case the practice of mixing was harmful.

He did not, however, advocate any hurried couclusion but he thought that the views of the Comunittee should be communicated to the Lancashire Indian Cotton Committee, so that if these views were wrong they could be corrected. He therefore moved the following resolution : RESOLUTION 13.-" That a copy of this discussion be sent to the Chairman, Lancashire Indian Cotton Committee, with reference to his letter dated the 23rd November 1934, and his reply to the various points, brought out in the discussion, be awaited." He further suggested that Jr. Roberts might move a resolution either in this meeting or in the Provincial Cotton Committee requesting Government to urge the North-Western Railway to stop the concession allowed by it for long distance kupus, and that also the Director of Agriculture, Punjab, should request the Government of the Punjab to consider the desirability of having a Cotton Transport Act in the Punjab so that outside low grade cotton and kapus might not enter the Punjab borders. Dr. Coleridge, in seconding the resolution, said that he was in favour of the discussion on the subject being sent to the Lancashire Indian Cotton Committee for circulation to their members in order to ascertain whether they bought cotton mixed or pure. They should also be told that if they wanted pure cotton they should ask for such a guarantee in their contracts. From the letter of a Lancashire spinuer, it seemed pure cotton was wanted and he wished to show him that if he could pay the price, there were plenty of first class firms who could supply puie cotton. He thought that if the demand for mixed cotton died, the problem would be solved automatically and if it did not die shippers should sell their cottons openly either as mixed or pure. Mr. Ramamurly said that in the Madras Presidency mixing was considered definitely as an evil and that steps had accordingly been taken through the Cotton Transport Act and the Cotton Control Act to prevent respectively the import of short staple cotton into protected areas and the growing of Pulichai cotton which was used for mixing. He was therefore interested to hear that the mixing of Punjab-American with desi cotton in the Punjab was regarded as more or less beneficial to the grower. He thought that if a province produced a large quantity of superior cotton and that if this cotton was mixed with inferior cotton, the price of the superior cotton would be depressed and as a result of this the whole province would suffer. In the Punjab it seemed longstaple cotton was much smaller in quantity than the desi cotton, and the result of mixing was therefore different from what it would be in the Madras Presidency. The question therefore whether mixing was. good or bad appeared to depend on the conditions of the province. He, therefore, favoured the re-affirmation of all the previous resolutions of the Committee to the effect that permissive legislation should be passed so that if mixing was considered an evil in any province, that province might take necessary action. In Madras the Cotton Transport:

Permisive legislation for the licensing of gins and presses would possibly enablo there to make their macamures more effective, Sardar Nao Bahadur B. R Naik said that the question of mikiny Punjab American cotton bad been before the Coromitted since 1931, and resolutions bad been passed and forwarded to the Government of India asking that steps should be taken to prevent this malpractice He faded to understand what new considerations had now been brought to bear, which warranted a withdrawal of the past resolutions. lIc fully endorsed the Vice-President's resolution but he also urged that the Government of Indis should be asked to undertako legulation cmpowering Provincial Gorcroments to pass their own law if they foun it necessary to do so Last year shappers in Bombay and the thmedaba } millowners had pointed out that Broach cotton had beea mured with Goghan ITo contended that there was no use spending so much mones on research schemacs if cotton way allowed to mal.

Seed Distribution and Extension. Though no departure from the accepted policy in regard to seed schemes is necessary, in future all new seed schemes should be subjected to a very thorough and careful scrutiny before they are sanctioned. C. Publicity and Propaganda. That the Publicity and Propaganda scheme should be continued at the expiry of its present sanctioned period. D. Indore Institute. The work done at the Institute of Plant Industry, Indore, during the Directorship of Mr. A. Howard (now Sir Albert Howard), in furtherance of the object, viz., the improvement of cotton, for which the Institute received its main support from the Committee, has produced no tangible results. As attention was concentrated during this period on propaganda work and compost, instead of research into cotton problems as was originally intended, the money so far spent on the Institute by the Committee is as good as practically wasted. The new programme of work initiated by the new Directorate appears to be promising and worthy of being given a fair trial, provided adequate safeguards can be devised to ensure that approved programmes are actually carried out and not neglected as before. To achieve this end a more effective control by the Committee over the affairs of the Institute, than has hitherto been the case, should be secured. This is possible only if the Committee has an absolute majority on the Board of Governors. A revision of the existing position of the Indian Central Cotton Committee on the Governing Body being therefore necessary, a report from the President in that direction might be awaited. It was also decided that it was necessary to have a Central Research Station for cotton, and that for the present it should be the Institute. E. General. With regard to the complaint of Mr. W. Roberts that the Hyderabad State had been liberally treated by the Committee in the matter of financing schemes put up by the State the Sub-Committee was unanimous that no departure should be made in its policy of sanctioning schemes submitted by the States on their own merits. Differing from Mr. Roberts regarding the alleged mismanagement of cess funds by the Standing Finance Sub-Committee, the Sub-Committee placed on record its deep appreciation of the work done by the Standing Finance Sub-Committee." SUBJECT 9.- Proposed maintenance of a minimum balance from the accumulated funds of the Committee-Reference from the Government of India.

These cost the Committee annually about Rs. 1,65.000. His calculations showed that Rs. 13 lakhs per annuin were required to carry on the Committee's work and the only way of getting this income was by doubling the cess which would then give Rs. 12 lakhs a year plus interest. According to him the balance in 1936-37 would be Rs. 14,15,000 and it would be reduced in 1939–10 to Rs. 3,95,000. Replying to a query of Mian Nurullah, Mr. Burt said that the proposal made in 1926 by the Government of India for the creation of a reserve would have involved interference with the administration of the Committee's funds and the establishment of a permanent investment reserve the interest from which was to form a permanent incore of the Committee. This proposition cvery niember of the Committee, both trade and agricultural, resister, Blian Nurullul, while appreciating the stand the Comniittee then took, regretted that no attention was paid to the question of fixing a minimum balance. He agreed with Mr. Richards that most of the Committee's schemes, costing aunually about Rs, 2 lukhs more than the income, had to be continued if wastage of money were to be saved. He therefore suggested that whilst looking for means to add to the Conniittee's income, thic question of reducing expenditure should not be overlooked. He felt that the trude, the ginning factory-owners and the growers would all regard an increase in the cess as a permanent burden on them. He suggested that in future the coss might be levied not on the number of bales bnt on the price of a bale which should be fixed on the basis of the previous year's revenue or the previous year's prices. A factory that had presset, say, 100 bales, had done Rs. 10,000 worth of work and would be prepared to pay more cess in the next year, if necessary. He considered that the Committee's annual expenditure should be limited to its anmal revenue. Mr. Chunilal B. Jehtu said that Jr. Richards had anticipated too much by assuming that the schemes due to terminate would be extended. This was dependent upon the finances of the Committee. The report of the Special meeting of the Agricultural Research Sub-Committee showed that money spent on some schemes had been a waste. The only question for decision now was whether a mininın balance should be inaintained or not and, if so, what this balance should be. When necessity for more money arose the question of increasing the cess could be disciissed. Mr. Burt stressed the necessity of considering at this stage the financial position of the Committee in relation to its policy. He was of opinion that without completely upsetting the balance between the Committee's own expenditure and that in the provinces a regular income of not less than Rs. 10 lakhs a year was necessary. He personally believed that the Committee would now have to prepare and place before the trade and ultimately the Legislature a reasoned statement showing what it had done and what it was trying to do before asking for an increase in the cess, Economy by itself would not be adequate and if it was desired to keep the annual expenditure of the Committee within Rs. 6 lakhs, ·33 then puuntial portions of the Committee's work would have to low lppo Ouit le agm to the frynse balance being fisel at Rs 3 lakas In reply to questions as to how the persent position compared with that of 1920 1/r Burt nail that in 1996 the Committee had a very large balance and the trate members urged increased expenditure for them gxxl of the cotton grouer in Inlia What the Gosemment of India mint at that time by the establishment of a permanent inimtrunt IMPO r the provision of a certain annual income in perpetuity The prrunt proposal for the maintenance of a muerte was in the natum of an insurance against brd tumen and was cqualent to a fimne fun!

G. Deshpande supported the view of Sardar Sampuran Singh for an increase in the cess if more money was necessary. He considered that the improvements effected would ultimately benefit the grower and he did not believe that even a 100 per cent. increase would be an unbearable burden to any onc. Money had to be found to improve the quality of cotton in this country and the only way of doing so by increasing the cess. Rao Bahadur C. S. Shirulutti supporting Jr. Y. G. Deshpande said that improvements put more money into the pockets of the cultivator and that an increased cess of one anna per bale would not be a burden on the cotton grower. lle considered that the research work of the Committco should be handed over to Provincial Agricultural Departments who should be given a certain amount of help and that the policy of the Comunittee should be to spread improved types of cotton on a large scale through the medium of seed schemes. He suggested the earmarking of not more than 25 per cent. of the Committee's income for seed schemes throughout India. Ur. V. M. Deshmukh was opposed to any increase in the cess in view of the deplorable condition of the cotton trade and the cotton grower. He considered that the insprovements so far effected were not proportionate to the money spent and therefore did not justify additional taxation. He favoured retrenchment and the scrapping of all those schemes which had given do results as also those which were not likely to prove of value. Khan Bahadur Sardar Habibullah did not favour any reference to the trade on the subject of an increase in the cess as he considered that the cess was paid by the grower. He was of opinion that useful work had been done by the Committee and that work should be continued even though some schemes had not produced useful results. The Committee should, however, be more careful in starting new schemes; it should cut down its expenses as much as possible and ask Government for an additional cess of one anna which he did not think would be il great hardship. Mr. Saklatvala shared the view of Mr. Coleridge that the trade would regard any increase in the cess to be unjustifiable, because it was not convinced that the amounts so far spent had produced results Thich were beneficial either to the grower, the industry or the trade. There was therefore no chance of such a proposal succeeding. The trade could not always pass on its losses to the agriculturists and sometimes it had to bear it itself. Any proposal therefore for an increase in the cess would have to satisfy both the trade and the grower. In view of the present deplorable condition of the agriculturist an increase of even one apna rould be a great hardship and as the trade too tas contending with difficulties the present was an inopportune time to raise the question of increasing the cess. He thought that if this were done sereral applications would at once be received for the abolition of the cess altogether. Only after the Committee had satisfied the trade ·31 anl the grower that goal work lal bandose, the question of increasna therers could be ruited Vr Stercart said that in 170 of the capepeliture to which the com. mittee was committed during the rest few yea, the fgure of Ra 3 14hdin proposed for the reserie should in cut dom, but that it it 198 drouled to retain that balance the Committer should get readr to prepare its case for an increased ress Mr Hutchinson, empharing this propesits of contmots in the liyeeding schemes and that one of the most important problems that in luan cotton mar faced with #is that the trade and the cultirator kime in bad condition Indian cotton was at this lottom en l of the world's market and unleas Lutter cotton 19 produced the position of in 111 coull not be improved Breeding schemes coull not be espected to MC results in hie years If continuuti in breeding schemes are byroken all the presious work on them would be lost The prollen of getting rid of short stapled cotton as a national one Results from the Committee's work were alreads evident Veion cotton in the Central l'rovinces had made a conturiable stride towards erndicating the short staple cotton and similar work was in progres in the Punjab and Central India If this work were dropped the tra le ani the cultu vator woull be very far beland in the torld s marhet Iseld an ipinning prentago were inportant respectuel to the cultri stor and the pinner but the trade would require better staple if it was going to benefit.

With Rs. 9 lakhs az minimum balance if after three years more inatorial could be unde available to the public which would justify an approach to the Legislature for an increase in the cess, he did not think that money would be refused. At present, however, the question was not pertinent as the Committee still lind a balance of Rs. 19 lakhs. In the meantime, the Technological Laboratory was going to issue a concise populist report on its activities and after a few more etrouraging reports had been received from the various provinces the question of raising the Cross could be considered. dr. l'. G. Deslizande, in moving an umundurent " That the reserve long fixed at Rs. 6 lalilis", t'aprissed liimself as being opposed to the maintenance of any minimum balance and said that he only did so because the Committer way required to fix a minimum. lle way of opiniou tlat inoney must be made available for Itsearch work, and differed from those who thought that the back of the agriculturist woull be broken by an addition tax of one an per bule. Compared with the benefit to be derived, the incidence of taxation wit's negligible. The probluin of marketing the cotton crop of Indin lad to ix faced as only half of it was consumed in the country. The other hall had to be exported, and if Indian cotton was to find a wides narket, its quality had to be improved. This could not be done without money and therefore money had to be found at any cost for the betterment of the agriculturixt. IIe agreed with the Vice-President that the present was not a very propitious ting to recommend to the Government of Indin an increase in the cess, but he thought that iſ the miuimum balance was put ut : low tigure and the Government of India questioned why this had been done the Committee could say that more money was Winted for the work of the Conunittee. In this way the case for is higher coss could be sturted. The amendment was seconder by Sell lesendus Turindul. Rao Buludur G. R. Ko!hare said that after a very careful consideration of the question the Standing Finance Sub-Committee had come to the conclusion that the minimum balance should be fixed at not less than a your and a ball's income. Furthermore, it was proposed tliat in case of emergency the Committee coukl draw ou this reserve provided it was made good later. lle opposed any reduction in the reserve proposed. The President put to the vote dr. V. G. Deshpande's amendmeni" that the reserve balance be reduced to Rs. 0 laklis". The amendment was lost by eleven votes against S.

Mr. Roberts moved the following resolution :- RESOLUTION 17.-“ The Indian Central Cotton Committee views with great concern the increase in the practice of heavy mixing of Punjab- American and Desi cotton which is taking place this year. The concession for long distance tapas transport given by the North-Western Railway and other railways a few years ago has this year, particularly, resulted in accentuating this practice. The concession on the North- Western Railway was, the Committee believes, originally introduced to assist in the marketing of Bahawalpur cotton when ginning arrangements were inadequate. This is not now the case. This Committee wishes to press the Punjab Government to make enquiries and, if possible, to move for the withdrawal of this concession in tue general interest of the cotton growers of the Province." He thought that this resolution, if passed by the Committee, would strengthen the hands of the Punjab Provincial Cotton Committee to get some practical measures taken up at once to stop mising. Mr. Richards seconded the resolution. The Vice-President said he would support the resolution on the very broad and basic principle that transport facilities should not be misused to the detriment of the local cotton of any province. Not only the Punjab but also every other province and State should look into this question, for, e.g., it had been reported that cotton from Agra was being brought to Indore market. Characterising this practice as murderous on the indigenous cotton, he mentioned the prevention of its possibility in. any tract as one of the important steps the Committee should take, before it voted the money for improving the quality of the cotton of that tract. The resolution was put to vote and carried unanimously. SUBJECT 13.- Provincial Cotton Committees Proceedings of the Central Provinces Provincial Cotton Committee. Mr. N. M. Deshmukh in moving the following resolution RESOLUTION 18.-" The Indian Central Cotton Committee requests the Government of India to take immediate steps to amend the Cotton Ginning and Pressing Factories Act No. 12 of 1925 so as to protect the interests of the cotton growers in all respects” traced the past history of the attitude of the Committee in regard to the question of the licensing of gins and presses. He said that the object of the resolutions passed by the Committee on this subject was to put a stop to malpractices, such as watering and mixing and that although the resolution of 1934 referred specially to the malpractice of watering, it did not exclude the malpractice of mixing. The enabling legislation proposed by the Committee sought to empower those provinces where malpractices existed to apply the provisions of the Act if they considered it to be necessary. Referring to the arguments wherein prominence was given to the administrative difficulties which might arise if legislation were enacted to stop the malpractice of mixing, he said that the Local Governments applying the Act would so frame their rules ·37 that the difficulty apprehended Trould be conor !crably minimised llo agreed that when Government in chinery was put into operation n certain amount of harrarement would plaps I taaroidable T21 fact, however, by itself ilid not constituto a sufficunt toason for with holding action in order to present tho malpractices wluch were coming from day to day The l'unjab mrmirea lil durlare that l'unyal myrican cotton w29 mi td to a large estopt ani ty cong lered it necrcury that the Gosemment of In la should undertake thislation to stop the malpractice He did not accept the view that inxing 15 absolutely necessary to meet the demand for mired cotton from outsilo India The letter from the Lazonelure Inlan Cotion Committee, considered under Subject 7, amply testified that mire cotton was not wanted!

It was therefore felt that provincial Governinents should accept a larger share of financial responsibility for these schemes when they came to be extended. A reduced grant of Rs. 1,03,000) only had been recommended for this schenke because the scheme had bera in operation ſur ti years, and it was tiine that an increasing suure of the expenditure un it should be borne by the Locul Covernment in order that the Committee inight have funds to fina per deler schuilles.

(a) Balance Sheet. (6) Financial Statement. (c) Revised Estimates, 1934-35. (d) Budgct, 1935-36. (e) Auditors' fees. Rao Bahadur G. R. Kothare referring to paragraph 19 of the report proposed that the period of appointment of the Publicity Officer be extended to five years and that his salary be increased to Rs. 1,000 rising by annual increments of Rs. 50, in view of the valuable work done by him which was very favourably commented on both by officials and non-officials. The Vice-President touched upon some of the more important features of the Report. Referring to the extension of the Technological Laboratory at a cost of about Rs. 27,000 he said the Standing Finance Sub- Committee had only agreed to this expenditure after careful consideration and because the proposed alterations would result in greater economy. He stated the circumstances which led to the Sub-Committee's recommendations regarding the extension of the appointment of the Publicity Officer and said that the administrative changes proposed in the Secretary's office resulted from the fact that the post of Deputy Secretary was held in abeyance by the Government of India. In view of the present financial position of the Committee, Mr. Roberts suggested that the period of extension of the Publicity Officer should be reduced from five years to three. Rao Bahadur Kothare agreed to the proposed reduction in the period of extension of the appointment to three years but urged that the salary of the Publicity Officer should be fixed at Rs. 1,000-50---1,100. The President put to vote the amendment that the period of appointment of the Publicity Officer be extended to three more years and that his salary be fixed at Rs. 1,000_50–1,100. This was carried. Mr. Allan's recommendation that the two months leave granted to Mr. Mihra be allowed to be taken on completion of his report on his tour in the United Provinces was also agreed to. The following resolution moved by the President was carried :- RESOLUTION 25.-" That the Report of the Standing Finance Sub- Committee be adopted.” “ That the Revised Estimates for 1934-35 be approved." “That the budget for 1935-36, as amended at this meeting of the Indian Central Cotton Committee, be sanctioned." Seth Isserdas Varindmal suggested that in view of the necessity of curtailing expenditure, only a single first class fare should be paid to members instead of the present 13 first class fares which he considered to be excessive. He hoped that by this sacrifice on the part of members expenditure would be reduced and economy effected. He desired that his suggestion should take effect from the next financial year. Mr. Chelaram Shewaram seconded the proposal. The President advised no *Appendix IX (page 83).

Mr. Chunilal B. Mehta suggested that even though the Agricultural Research Sub-Committee had reduced the grant from Rs. 1,29,500 to Rs. 1 lakh on account of financial stringency, it might be raised to Rs. 1,06,000 to avoid deficit. Nr. Roberts was pleased to note the suggestion that the Institute should be granted more money this year and felt that the Committee should ask the Institute to depend more on the support of the States in future. The Committee would never intentionally embarass the Director but the latter should give the Committee an assurance that he would do his best to be more economical, Mr. Hutchinson stated that the Institute should not be considered on a par with any of the provincial schemes like the Punjab Botanical Scheme. These schemes were of immediate and direct benefit to the province concerned, whereas with the exception of the breeding work on Malvi, which alone could be said of direct utility to Central India, the problems of the Institute were mainly of the nature of fundamental research of general applicability. This fact should be taken into account when considering whether the States should be asked to provide larger grants. Mr. Jackson said that his one object was to make the Institute as a whole a success, turning out good work. As regards his original budget of Rs. 1,29,500, he explained that it was the optimum budget he could produce for utilizing to the full the facilities available at the Institute. He made it quite clear, however, that his new budget for Rs. 1,06,000 was a constricting one, checking the rate of progress and leaving no room whatever for the expansion of activities. He would try to collect the arrears due from the States, but he could not be assured of doing so. Mr. Nizam-ud Din Hyder congratulated the Standing Finance Sub- Committee and the Director on effecting considerable reduction in expenditure, and suggested that the sum of Rs. 1,06,000 might be sanctioned. As regards Mr. Mehta's amendment the Vice-President regretted his inability to accept it. The Director expected a deficit of Rs. 5,800 only, against which the arrears due from States amounted to about Rs. 3,000. It was not merely the filling up of this gap by voting a few thousands ; there should be a finality about things as it would otherwise be absolutely impossible to carry on the Committee's work. The recommendation of the Agricultural Research Sub-Committee might, therefore, be left intact, and if the Governing Body really found it impossible to economise and make up the deficit, a fair case for a supplementary grant could certainly be made and presented at the August meeting of the Committee. On principle the arrears of Rs. 3,000 due from the States should not be left out of consideration. If these arrears were not realised at the end of the year, the Committee might vote all the money. He therefore moved that the Agricultural Research Sub-Committee's report be adopted. 1 ·45 The Presulent, congratulating Yu-zhil) hus Bahadur Kanungo on his cl muent and admirable appeal, saul that it was onlr Vr Kanungo's great personal modesty which presentel him Iron revelion; the fers Laro e part ho played in getting all the States, except one, to accept the Committees point of Regarling Jr Yehta's amenument to 1, run- Views ruggested that, as a matter of consistency, the amendment shonli not be pressed Jr Jehta withdreve the amendment with the approval of tbe Ecconder Jr Jackson expressed h24 satisfaction with the assurance gi en by the Vice-President The recommendation of the Agricultural Rescarch Sub Committee to grant R: 1 lakh for 1933 36 was approved The l'or-President said thrt as regards Subject No 15, the Committcr bad no option but to sanction tho whole amount of Rs 1150) The President said that in view of the previous rolution on Subject 10, a formal resolution was necessary Ho moved accordingly the following resolution which was carried unaninously - RESOLUTION 26..."That a sum of Rs 1,15,000 or such smaller sum 15 may actually be necessary bo sanctioned for the current year SUBJECT - -Egyptian Larr* to prezent ile mizing of different runners of colton Tir Optian Law, No Ol of 1931 to present the mix of duterent varieties of Indian cotton was reconled STRICT 42 -- Drondesting in the mornigs of commeroni nrus mention Though it tras suggested that a n solution might le pas.

T. cotton received by him would only fetch from Rs. 60 to Rs. 70 on 'Broach as they were obviously mixed with 4-F. Pure N. T., however, would sell at Rs. 50 to Rs. 90' on! He considered that as Sind was virgin soil, a good opportunity was afforded to stop mixing there either by legislation or other means. He urged that the attention of the Chief Agricultural Officer in Sind should be drawn to the admixture with short staple cotton of the better quality cottons which was taking place iu order that timely remedial measures could be taken. Seth Isserdas Varindmal said that there were three or four N. T. types which sold at about Rs. 4 to Rs. 6'on' 4-F. The Sind Cotton Committee favoured the growing of 289-F only in preference to these new types as the yield of the latter was less than that of the former. Although N. T. cottons were new strains, their yield of this year amounted to about 30,000 bales, which were of almost the same quality. These new types of cotton were considered to be of good quality and so fetched good prices. Only Indian mills purchased them. The Vice- President said that the question of keeping the produce of the virgin soil in Sind as pure as possible had been engaging the personal attention of His Excellency the Governor of Bombay. A communication from the Secretary to the Government of Bombay had been received by the East India Cotton Association and in reply the Association had stated that oping to the peculiar circumstances in Sind where virgin soil was brought under cultivation, and also in vier of the absence from there of those complications which existed in other parts of India and which made the introduction of such a system difficult, it would not object to the licensing of gins and presses in that province. The Government of Bombay were doubtful if the Government of India would pass an all-India legislation, but the Local Government themselves might be able to undertake provincial legislation. In reply to Mr. Coleridge's query as to the reason for the proposed discontinuance of the production of the N. T. strains of cotton, Seth Isserdas Varindmal said that the agriculturists were reluctant to grow them on account of their lower yield. The following resolution moved by Mr. Coleridge was carried :- RESOLUTION 28.-" The Indian Central Cotton Committee requests the Local Sub-Committee to ascertain from the Chief Agricultural Officer in Sind what steps he proposes to take to prevent the adulteration of the new strains now being grown on virgin soil in Sind. If necessary, the Local Sub-Committee should address the Bombay Government on this important subject.” SUBJECT 14.-appointment of Auditors for 1935-36. l'he Presiilent suggested that the present arrangement for the audit of the Committee's accounts might be continued and proposed the followiny vesolution which was carried RESOLUTION 29.-“That Messrs.

SUBJECT.--I'lc marking of Indian cotton bulcs. Your letters of the 15th June, 27th July and 10th lugust of this year were placed before my Committee ata recent meeting in Berlin, and tho question of the marking of Indian cotton bales was fully discussed. The following resolution was finally unanimously adopted :- * Tlus Committee of the International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners' and Manufacturers' Associations regrets to learn that it is now lauful for the press mark on Indian cotton bales to be merely stencilled on the hessian cover, and that it is no longer obligatory to stamp tho press marh on the hoop. It notes that instances hasCallen in which no press mark has been stencilled on the hessian cover, such mails obuously having been removed during the act of sampling. In the opinion of the Committee, it is impossible for spamer, in the absence of the press marh, to trace back the bule to the press. It, therefore, respectfully requests the Indian Cential Cotton Committee to press for the reinstatement of the love, iequiring press-owners to stamp indelibly the pruss mark upon the baling hoon.' My Committee is anxious that this matter sliould receive the cariest consideration of your organisation, and trusts that it will see its way to pre-o for the re-enactment of the law, requiring prcas owners to use buling lious with the press mark indelibls stamped thereon." Originally Rule 7 of thic Cotton Gming and Pressing Factories Rules required the prest mark and the two digits denoting the cotton year to be indelibly punched or stamped on the hoop, but in August 1929 the Goverilment of India annended the rule allowing the press marh and the two digits denoting the cotton year to be stencilled in ink on the hessian on the lashed side of a bale. The Rulo as amended at the request of the Conimittee on the representation of the East India Cotton Association who drevattention to cases of hardships and losses incurred by Bombay merchant, because of bales being rejected in arbitration for faults in marking, The chief complaint was that the method of marking ay laid down in the original rule Was so nieticulous that the Last India Cotton Issociation arbitrators had no option but to reject any bales not marhed strictly in accordance with the rule though the cotton was in all other respects a fair tender and even at times carrying an "on" allowance. It has also pointed out that the Act was being exploited by merchants when the warhet vas going against them and that they took advantaye of the technical provisions of the Act to evade acceptiny a tender shen it suited them to do so. APPENDIX III. SUBJECT 7.-Jixing of different types of Indian cotton-Letter from the Chairman, Lancashire Indian Colton Committee. Secretary's Note. The attached letter and enclosure received from the Chairman, Lancashire Indian Cotton Committee, regarding the mixing at the ginnery of different types of Indian cotton are for consideration. At present there is no legislation in India which can effectively puc & stop to this malpractice of mising.

Wo submittod the two cottons roferred to, to tho Shirloy Instituto for analysis, and toto slova dolinito mixturc, in ouo caso comparatively small but in tho second caso very heavy. The Institutu do not themselves moko any cstimato of tho amount of adultera. tion, but the figures given in connection with hairwcigut teots justify our estimate that in tho second caso tho adulteration amounts to 60 por cent. or morc. As it is alınost in possible to detect tho adulteration by a hand oxamination, this is a very scrious matter. (In the Liverpool arbitration on this cotton we were allowed only 3 points). Tbc extremo dificulty of detecting ovou tuch a glaring adultcration as this leaves the buyer open to whnt can only bo classed as outrageous swindling. Probably many other spinnors la vo had similar caperiences this year and no doubt they, liko ourselves, will be very chary about buying S. G. uncrican sced cotton ia future. The shippers admit frankly that the mixing does take place, and defend the practice by stating that the spinner docs rol objccl 13 it rulucca the price. A noro ridiculous statement could hardly bo inade, as the spinner, if he desires, can do his own mixing and will then know exactly wliat he is using llc hare cudcavoured to find a shipper of standing, who will sell S.

If it is hoped to increase the use of ladiun colton in Lancashire, overy possible stop should be taken to stop the mixing of cottons in thių say. It allowed to coutinuo, it can only lead to complete loss of confidence in Indian cotton." Reproduced from a Shirley Institute Publication, June 1934. SPLXXIXG TESTS OX IXDIAX COTTONS FROM THIE PUXJAB, Samples of characteristic types of Indian cotton have recently been spun and tested at the Institute for the Lancashiro ludian Cotton Committee.

Thoarerago crop of Punjab...merican cotton (including 280F) over the years 1920-33 was about a quarter of a million bales of 400 lbs.; the Governinent estimate of the total Indian crop for the sono puriod averaged rather less than 5 inillion bales.

C.RerosT OF THE AGRICULTITAL REJEiNCi Sca-CùDUTTEE OS SET SEED SCUESIES. Revised Jayawant and Gadag-l Sced Scheme (-40.:25). The Sub-Committee considered and did not approve the revised and extended seed multiplication and distribution scheme for Jayagant and Gadag.cottons submitted by the Director of Agriculture, Bombay Presidoncy, to take the place of the cristing schetues. The Sub-Committee, however, recommends that the existing arrangement for subsidising the Hubli and Gadag Co-operative Societies be continued for one more year at the present rate during which time the Director of Agriculture. Bombay Presidencs, would take into consideratiou all the criticisms of the present scheme and put up sonicthing likely to be more acceptable to the Indian Central Cotton Committee. The amount required for continuing the existing arrangeaient for one year would be about Rs. 19,000. It row olso agreed that for the years 1934-35 and 1933–30 the audit of the accounts of these schemes should be done by the auditors of the Boinbar Agricultural Department. The Athani Scheine which has already been sauctioned for five years and is in existence for three years will not be atfected by this decision.

The Entomologist to the Government of the Punjab felt that this recommendation was cramping his work and suggested that it might be reconsidered. The Sub-Committee wishes to make it clear that it was to the study of the effect of laboratory conditions on the life cycle to which it objected. Co-ordination of the Hyderabad and Central Provinces Entomological Schemes..-In furtherance of the approved object of co-ordinating the work done in these schemes, the Director of Agriculture, Central Provinces, asked for the appointment of an extra fieldman on Rs. 25 for working out the incidence of the Pink Boll-vorm in those parts of Berar adjoining tho Nizaw's Dominions. The Sub-Committee recommends that this proposal be approred, as its cost can be met from savings accrued from the sanctioned grant. The Sub-Committee recommends that both schemes should be considered further next July on the basis of reports to bo rendered up to the end of June 1935, such reports to include work done and evidence of the degree of incidence and damage in different parts of tbe Central Provinces and Berar and Hyderabad, both on cultivators' fields and Government farms, as far as possible. The Director of Agriculture's attention should be particularly drawn to the necessity of digging and sifting the soil on a fairly large area of at least balf an acre. Punjab Root Rot Scheme--Publication of a paper on.The Sub-Committee approves of the paper entitled "Studies on Root Rot Disease in the Punjab Symptoms, Incidenco and Cause" prepared by Dr. R. Sabai Vasudeva being sent, as it is, to tho Imperial Council of Agricultural Research for publication. Institute of Plant Industry, Indore (No.40). The programme of research work of tho genetic and botany section is approved as it stands. From the point of view of cotton research in India as a whole, the Sub-Committee considers that adequate financial provision for the Genetic and Botany Section is of the greatest importance. The programme of the Chemistry and Agronomy Section is too large. The soil programme in particular wust be regarded as a general programme to be taken up as conditions permit. over a series of years. The Sub-Committeo recommends that work on that part of the programme bo concentrated on those aspects which appear to be of greatest importance. Tho rotation programme is also more ambitiously worded than can have been intended. The Sub-Comunitteo is of tho opinion that it should be made clear that tho programmo under the heading of soil micro-biology must also be of a preliminary naturo. The Sub-Committee suggests that the next annual report of the Institute should include a summary of the progress along the various lines of the programme in order to give the Committee an idea of the rate at which a very large programme is being tackled. The Director of the Instituto assured the Sub-Committeo that the Chemist and Agronomist could be relied on not to undertako too much work on the programme and pointed out that as it stood it would have to be cut to some extent since the Board of Governors had not been able to meet a request for additional laboratory spaco. It should be noted that the note on page 5 typed below the heading Soil Dlicro-biology" should be read below the heading “Chemistry and Agronomy Section at the head of page 3. Tho Sub-Committeo recommends that a total grant of Rs. 1 lakh be made to tho Institute for the year 1935-36. Reports or TECHNOLOGICAL ASSISTANTS. The Sub-Committee recommends that, in future, the reports of Technological Assistants should be prepared as instructed by the Director, Technological Laboratory, and submitted to the Agricultural Rescarch Sub.Committeo for consideration. Letter from the Icad of the Entomological Department, Oklahoma, commenting on the article on the Pholotropic responses of P. Gossypiella-by . Afzal Husain, Entomologist to the Government of the Punjab (No. 3.1). The Sub-Committee recommends that this letter be recorded. Hyderabail Pink and Spotted Boll-uorin Scheme. Tho comments made by this Sub-Committee on the Progress Report of this scheme submitted at tho last meeting haso now been explained by the officer in charge and the revised programme for the six months, January to June 1935, has been approred by the Sub.Committee.

The Sub-Comunttre sanctioned a sum of Rs. 35,000 for the extension of the Spinning Laboratory Bloch in counection with tho scheme for the extension of the Technological Laboratury w kuch uns approved of by the Committee ut its meeting held in January 1931. The Suls.Conuittee, after scrutinising 10 scaled tenders received, accepted tho tender of Dusssa. Jooaji Adaruji for Rs.27,047 in view of the fact that it was the lowest and also lx'cause the work of this contractor was hnout I to be satisfactory. The Government of India havo since accorded their snuction to the proposed oxtension of the Technological Laborutory at a cost of Rs. 35,000.
