When the experiment was commenced Mr. DUNN opined that a large proportion of the ten thousand acres then under cultivation in the New Territory would be suitable for cotton cultivation, but su a result of the experiments made during the last three 1400-years he has come to the conclusion that the ground capable of growing crops in the New Territory is very scarce and is already almost completely occupied with food

If the soil and climate are both unfavour able to cotton growing, it would have availed but little to offer prizes, but in the case of the sugar cane, which was proved to yield much superior crops to those usually grown, it is not unlikely that, if fairly substantial prizes had been offered for the best results, it would have appealed strongly to the Chinese cultivators, and might have gared the new stock from dying out. That the experiments in cotton growing and in improving the sugar crops have both failed is very disappointing and discouraging.
