Report on the Agricultural Experiment Stations in the Central Circle United Provinces for the Year Ending 30th June 1918

SIR I HAVE the honour to submit the report on the Agricultural Stations in the Central Circle for the year ending 30th June 1918. [...] The yields are higher than last year and again the most striking feature is the relatively high yield of the uninanured plots as showing the value of thorough cultivation. [...] " These qualities are of course a great improvement on the samples of Punjab American 4 F." From an examination of the dates of flowering it has been possible to classify the selections retained into groups based on this character and on the branching system. [...] The plant is low and bushy good limbs to the number of three or four are readily developed and the plant is extremely prolific and shows the useful quality of setting bolls well under comparatively unfavourable conditions. [...] Though the number of limbs rarely exceeds four or five and the first secondary branch appears low on the main stem the plants of this group of which 1 is the most typical develop large strong limbs and the result in a wet season is the partial suppression of the earlier fruiting branches.
