COTTON IN UGANDA.
AN INCREASING- PRODUCT. (From Cub Own Coreespondekt.l PIETERMARITZBURG, Sept. XO. Colonel French, who recently visited Uganda, says, in the course of his report, issued by the Empire Cotton Growing Corporation, that Uganda has won a secure and definite position among the world's cottongrowing areas. She is producing nearly 200,000 bales of good cotton, and can produce considerably more. It is probaby desirable, however, that this position should bo consolidated and secured by studying how the present acreage can produce a better and more uniform quality of cotton by the application of improved methods, before attempting further extensions of the area. The latter action would tend to intensify labour and transport difficulties. The development of nroductive pest-preventing rotations is a matter of the greatest importance; and the report points out that for that reason the most immediate need is a further strengfftening of the scientific side of the Agricultural Department.
