THE present-day cotton breeder has several breeding methods from which to choose. Each of these methods has certain advantages and disadvantages, and no one method seems to be superior in attaining all breeding objectives. It seems logical, therefore, that breeders should in some cases evaluate two or more methods as to their relative effectiveness in resolving certain types of breeding problems. The relative effectiveness of a breeding method can be evaluated in terms of progress effected and also in terms of time and labor required to make this progress. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the
