Growing cotton in Togoland by Tuskegee Negroes
Berlin reports that Tuskegee Institute teachers recruited by the German government in late 1900 trained Togoland natives to grow cotton. They produced fiber graded above American middling on the Bremen exchange, proving Togoland’s land suitable for cotton. Transportation, especially rail access, remains the chief hurdle, prompting a Colonial Committee expedition to survey a coast to interior railroad from Lame to Palime.
