A 1904 article by J. Arthur Hutton, vice-chairman of the Association's executive council, describing the aims and early work of the British Cotton-Growing Association. It covers the world cotton shortage, speculation in the American market, and the Association's founding in Lancashire in 1901-1902. It surveys efforts to expand cotton cultivation in India, the West Indies, Egypt and the Sudan, East Africa and West Africa. The focus is on raw cotton supply and the economics of the industry, not on weaving or textile techniques.
