ENCLOSURE TO PART III. ENCLOSURE TO PART III. COTTON. MINUTES OF COTTON SECTION FOR AUGUST 18th, 19th & 25th THE CHAIRMAN (Mr. Milligan), in opening the Section, stated that the main object was to offer to co-workers on agricultural problems in Africa an opportunity of meeting each other and deriving the acknowledged benefit from consultation and discussion which such occasions offer. In order to make the best of this opportunity, it seemed advisable to be as informal as possible: formality generally had the effect of suppressing discussion and encouraging debate which he was sure no one desired. He had thought it desirable to divide the subject into headings, not only from the obvious point of view of method, but in order to give the General Conference an opportunity of knowing what was going on at any particular sitting. Joint sittings with the other Sections would be arranged later on; in the meanwhile, matters concerning the technique of the subject would be disposed of. To-day’s subject was Plant Breeding and Seed Distribution, the one following naturally from the other. He had no wish to take up the time of the Conference, but would like to say that after a life- time spent in Agriculture in the Old Country and India (and latterly in South Africa) he found himself a more convinced believer in the value of plant work as time went on. The first thing, after all, in dealing with crops was to find varieties and strains to fit varying conditions; if these could not be found, then the growing of the particular crop must be abandoned. You could not go against nature without paying for it; on the other hand, by going with nature, not only could normal yields be increased, ‘but the effects of adverse conditions such as drought, disease, and insect pests could be mitigated to no small extent. The Conference was greatly obliged to those who had kindly submitted papers for discussion. It was obvious, however, that so far as the day’s proceedings were concerned, they were too few in number to form a real basis for discussion and he asked the meeting for additional suggestions as to subjects connected with plant breeding in which members were specially interested. A detailed discussion then arose on the best way in which the various items connected with plant breeding could be grouped. The Agenda proposed for the full Conference was examined and it was considered that the following items should be discussed in connection with plant breeding and seed distribution. (See Agenda, Category ITI. Cotton.) “1. Seed Improvement: (a) Methods of testing new or improved strains of Cotton in different parts of the country. (Paper by H. C. Sampson, Empire Cotton Growing Corporation. , T.C.(C.)Cot.4.)* (b) Methods of investigating possibilities of new varieties of Cotton. (Paper by H. C. Sampson, Empire Cotton Growing Corporation.
