Fig. 1. — Planting plan of an experiment to determine the extent of vicinism resulting 

 when plants of the Acala variety of upland cotton were located in the midst of a field 

 of the Pima variety of Egyptian cotton. The middle section of the central row 

 (row O), indicated by the dotted portion of the line, contained the upland plants, the

 zontal lines inclose the portions of the Pima rows from which seed was harvested for 

 determination of the percentage of vicinists. 



1921 in order to determine the percentages of vicinists. No thinning

 velop. The results are stated in Table 2, in which the populations 

 grown from each pair of Pima rows having the same cardinal num- 

 ber and its prime, both oast and west of the Acala section, are com-
