A 1904 agricultural article summarizing Dr. Morris's recommendations for reviving cotton growing in the West Indies, especially Sea Island cotton, on former sugar cane land. It covers upland versus Sea Island varieties, soils, plant spacing, planting and picking times, seed rates, yields and costs from Texas farms, and cotton by-products (linters, oil, meal, hulls). It deals with raw fiber production, not weaving or textiles.
