I have prepared these notes for our meeting of July 2S. They describe some of the activity of many people who have given us insight into the processing characteristics of eight major cotton varieties grown at Narrabri and Merah North in the Namoi valley. As the industrial practice of blending bales into a mix always loses the varieties' identity, the trial provided a rare look at the pure varieties in yam and fabric form, u well as their behaviour throughout spinning, knitting, preparation and dyeing. The possibility of converting them into varietal garmentss remains, but is beyond the present budget.
