ously affc^et its ricltl and to nccossilatt' it.s c.xi'lusioH from 

 the followinji table. A careful study of the detailed records 

 led to the conclusion tliat the yields weiv not uuiterially 

 affected by the sliphr deticieucies in stand, thouiih it is 

 possible that the varieties Doughty, with 7G per cent, of a 

 stand, Texas Burr, with 84 per cent., and Truitt, with SO 

 per cent.. niij>ht have stood a few points hi<>4jer if the stand 

 had been perfect. It was concluded that any effort to cal- 

 culate the probable yields with })erfe(t stands, would, in this 

 case, involve a greater error than is incurred in giving the 

 actual yields without tliis correcticm for slight dcliciencies 

 in stand. 



The following table gives the actual yield of seed cotton, 

 lint, and seed, all these weights being taken at the gin house 

 a number of weeks after the two heaviest pickings had been 

 made, thus permitting all varieties to dry out to a some- 

 what uniform degree. In the same table are two columns 

 giving the value of The total i)ioduct of si'cd and lint j)er 

 acre, based, in one column, on a price of ten cents per pound 

 for lint, and in the other column on a price of seven cents 

 per pound, the seed in both columns being valued at seventy 

 cents per 100 pounds. These may l>e called higli and low 

 prices. Readers who prefer oth^r prices can substitute their 

 own tiiiui'es and make their own calculations.
