Mr. E. T. Pc'chly: The experiment coiulucled by Mr. 

 Peddy was loealed on a dark sandy soil with a yellow 

 sandy sul)soil. The hind was not badly inl'eeted with 

 wilt. 



The average value of seed and lint of the two cheek 

 plots was S42.31 per acre; the average value of the 

 wilt-resistant varieties was -f^fOOS, making an average 

 diii"erence of -^6.72 per acre in favor of wilt-resistant 

 varieties. The four largest yielding varieties named 

 in order are Dillon, Tri-Cook, Cook 307-6 and Coving- 

 ton-Toole. 



Mr. S. T. Slatoii: This experiment was located near 

 the one conducted by Mr. Peddy, and on very much 

 the same kind of land. 



The total value of seed and lint per acre for Cook 

 307-6 was H^.03; for Tn-Cook ^^41.68; for Wood $39.15; 

 and for Cook (check) $28.18. The gain from planting 

 wilt-resistant varieties is measured bv -$16.85 per acre 

 from Cook 307-0, $13.50 from Tri-Cook and $10.97 

 from Wood. 



Mr. J. T. Ramage : The experimental plots for 1912 

 and 1913 were located about one mile north of Brun- 

 didge on a sandy plateau-like elevation- The surface 

 sloped slightly but not sufficient to wash; the fertility 

 of all plots seemed about equal. 



In 1912 the value of lint and seed per acre was $52.74 

 for Dillon, $46.56 for Tri-Cook and $44.42 for Dixie. 

 The average of the Cook (check) plots was $29.84; this 

 leaves a difference of $22.90 in favor of Dillon; $16.72 

 and $14.58 in favor of Tri-Cook and Dixie respectively. 

 A difference of $32.60, or a gain of 162 percent is noted 

 between Dillon and the check that suffered the greatest 

 loss. In the 1913 experiment the advantage of the 

 resistant varieties over the non-resistant variety is still 

 greater. 



In 191 1 the experiments were transferred to a new 

 location in the southern part of Brundidge. The land 

 sloped considerably and was inclined to wash; its 

 soil was dark sand, with reddish yellow sandy sub- 

 soil; the j)lots lay between two terraces and were fairly 

 uniform in fertility. 



The average money value per acre of Cook (check) 

 was $13.65, while the average of the resistant varieties 

 was $30.71 per acre, an increase of 125 per cent, in 

 favor of the latter varieties- Among the wilt-resistant
