Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hindi Cotton in Egypt Experiments show that both Of these sources of diversity can be eliminated by a. More careful system of field selection, applied early in the season before the inferior plants have begun to flower, and hence before they have cross-fertilized the neighboring plants. The value of the Arizona Egyptian cotton and the prospects of cultivating this crop on a commercial scale in the United States depend largely on the degree of uniformity that can be attained in the fiber, in com parison with that of the Egyptian product. Hence, the necessity for an inspection of the cotton fields of Egypt in order to determine the extent of diversity in the crop as raised in that country. The high cost of labor in the Southwestern States forbids any direct imitation of Egyptian methods, either in raising the crop or in preparing it for market. Other solutions Of the problems of production have to be sought. The requirement of uniformity has been met in Egypt by a system of careful grading of the cotton after picking that would be very difficult to establish in the United States, and too expensive to leave any assurance of profit for the farmer even if it were established. The Egyptian cotton trade is organized on an entirely different basis from the American. Instead of merely ginning and baling the farmer's cotton as he brings it from the fields, it is the regular practice of the Egyptian ginning establishments to buy the seed cotton from the farmer and prepare it for the market by sorting, grading, and blending. Instead of depending entirely on samples, as with Ameri can cotton, Egyptian cotton is sold largely by the marks or brands that are placed on the bales by the ginning establishments. Cotton of the same mark is supposed to represent a definite uniform quality. This is much more practicable in Egypt than it would be in most parts of the United States because of the much greater uniformity of climate and soil in Egypt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin of the Hindi Cotton Hindi is the name applied in Egypt to an undesirable type of cot ton with a short, weak fiber, that injures the high-grade Egyptian varieties by infesting them with hybrids. The skill and cheapness of the native Egyptian labor enable the exporters to have the cotton sorted by hand in their baling establishments, so that a high reputa tion for uniformity has been secured in Spite of the Hindi admixture. The introduction of the Egyptian cotton into the United States brings also the problem of the Hindi cotton, but without the resource of cheap labor which enables the difficulty to be surmounted in Egypt. The practicability of establishing a commercial culture of the Egyp tian cotton in the United States depends largely upon the elimination of the Hindi contamination and other forms of diversity, so that the fiber may be produced in a satisfactory condition of uniformity. The Hindi cotton problem might be compared to that of the red rice that mixes with the white and depreciates the value of the crop. In the case Of the cotton there is a better prospect that adequate knowledge of the vegetative characters may enable the undesirable plants to be removed from the fields without too seriously increasing the cost of production.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hindi Cotton in Egypt Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a paper entitled "Hindi Cotton in Egypt," by Mr. O. F. Cook, of this Bureau, and to recommend its publication as Bulletin No. 210 of the Bureau series. This paper reports the results of a visit to the cotton-growing districts of Egypt in June and July, 1910. It shows that the admixture of inferior Hindi cotton is a serious burden upon the Egyptian industry and that our more intelligent farmers can secure an important advantage through the improved system of selection that has been developed by experiments in Arizona. A careful comparison of the results of the Arizona experiments with the conditions actually existing in Egypt became necessary in order to determine whether a satisfactory degree of uniformity has been attained in our acclimatized strains of Egyptian cotton. A previous study of the problem of diversity of the Egyptian cotton had been made in Arizona, as reported in Bulletins Nos. 147 and 156 of this series.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Production of Egyptian Cotton in the United States Even if there were no Hindi cotton in Egypt, the conditions would be unfavorable for the maintenance of uniform varieties, Since a numa ber of distinct types of Egyptian cotton are grown, often in adja cent fields, and the pollen is readily carried from field to field by insects, leading to the production of intervarietal hybrids. Further more, until very recently no adequate precautions were taken to avoid the mixing of seeds at the gins.

Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Download or read book Good Economics for Hard Times written by Abhijit V. Banerjee and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.
Download or read book Capitalism and Slavery written by Eric Williams and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies. In a new introduction, Colin Palmer assesses the lasting impact of Williams's groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.
