Excerpt from Memoirs of the Department of Agriculture in India: “Kumpta” Cotton and Its Improvement
These various characters of the Iier’baceurn cottons, when grown as agricultural plants mark them off from their congeners, tend to give a large crop of low-ginning cotton, and lead to the limitation of their distribution to places where a long - growing period is possible either on account of a well-distributed rainfall or irrigation, or on account of the absence of the likelihood of frost. Where the growing period can only be short, for whatever reason, other types of cotton tend to prevail which may not yield so well, but which ripen quicker, and which often, though not always, in India, give a cotton of inferior staple.
