SUMMARY This paper gives an account of the formation of the Cotton Service in Ceara, one of the north‐east states of Brazil, the lines on which the work of improving the cotton crop is to be conducted and some figures showing the composition of the crop prior to any selection. Owing to the large number of types represented and the long period of time during which cross‐fertilisation has taken place, several years must necessarily elapse before any pure selected strains can be put on the market.
