An essential quality for every variety of cotton to 

 possess is the ability to produce a high quantity of 

 lint in proportion to seed. This quality is funda- 

 mental, for lint yield is usually the first trait con- 

 sidered by any grower. In fact, a particular 

 variety is selected, as a rule, because of the claim 

 that it is a heavy yielder. 



Careful attention, then, at the time of gathering 

 and selecting seed making constant effort to 

 improve by selecting from plants with this tendency 

 to increase the yield will prove one of the most 

 satisfactory ways of adapting the variety to your 

 environments, and of rendering it reliable as the 

 breed for your special purposes.
