Abstract
DR. W. L. BALLS and his assistants in the Botanical Section of the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture have published within recent years two bulletins on the “Operation of the Seed Control Law upon the Pedigree of Cotton Seed”.* The first is a survey of the effect of the control during the first two years, and the second includes the first and extends the period to four growing years from 1926 until 1930. Egypt supplies the bulk of cotton for the fine spinning industry, in which quality is of great importance, and competition with lustrous fabrics made from synthetic fibres is making the use of good quality cotton more and more essential.
