§ Mr. LEACHasked the Under-Secretary for India how many European experts in cotton growing in India are now engaged or subsidised by the Government?
§ Mr. HAROLD BAKERThere is one officer designated and employed exclusively as cotton expert. But of the fifty odd officers composing the European staff of the Indian Agricultural Department there are some eight or ten with an expert knowledge of cotton cultivation whose time is largely devoted to the subject in their respective provinces.
