COTTON 3 
MEMPHIS, TENN. 
RUSSELL-HECKLE 
Delfos No. 531 
This cotton is an extremely early maturing variety, quite 
similar to Missdel No. 4. Both are developments from the 
original Delfos 6102. It is one of the most prolific bearers 
ever developed, and one of the most successful cottons un¬ 
der boll weevil conditions. Foliage is light, plant is medium, 
vigorous and spreading. Bolls 75 to 80 to the pound. Lint 
percentage 32 to 34. Lint length on valley land 1 5/32 to 
1 7/32. and on hill land 1 3/32 to 1 5/32. 
Wilds No. 4 
About the longest staple on the market, running 1% to 
1 5/16 inches. Last October (1933) 200 bales of this variety 
brought over 18c, a premium of about ten cents per pound, 
and the yield was over three quarters of a bale per acre. 
Think of it! 
The original Wilds No. 1 was an excellent cotton but too 
late. Wilds No. 4 is very much earlier, as shown by yields 
obtained everywhere. Stalk is semi-dwarf, spreading, open; 
bolls very large, 58 to 60 to the pound, 33 to 34 lint per¬ 
centage, picking quality good, storm resistance excellent. 
D. P. L, No. 10 
This is the best of all the D. P. L. strains in our opinion, 
and this is proven by various Experiment Station tests. It 
is earlier than D. P. L. 4-8, more uniform in type, and more 
productive in the field. The plantation that produced our 
stock averaged a bale per acre on around 800 acres. That is 
real evidence of the value of D. P. L.-10. 
D. P. L.-10 turns out well at the gin, 36% to 38%, and we 
have heard of 40% turnout. It pulls 1 inch to 1 1/16 inches. 
Picking qualities are excellent and the storm resistance is 
extra good. Bolls are large, 65 to 75 to the pound. The plant 
is vigorous and spreading. 
Acala 37 Cotton. 
Stoneville No. 2 
D. P. L. No. 10 Cotton. 
Stoneville No. 1 
This has proven an ideal cotton on both sides of the river. 
Very early maturing, extra large bolls. 55 to 65 to pound. 
Easy to pick, but good storm resistance, lint percentage 
33% to 36%, staple 1 1/16 to 1*4 inches. Wonderful crops 
of this cotton have been reported everywhere. You can see 
from description above why it is so popular. Further, the 
stalk is not large, but very dwarfy and stocky, and a very 
prolific yielder. 
This is a more vigorous and spreading plant than No. 1, 
but also a very early cotton. Bolls not quite so large but 
still large. Picks well, and has very good storm resistance. 
Lint percentage 34% to 36%, and length of staple 1 1/32 to 
1 3/32 usually. 
Acala 37 
This is the best of the Acala cottons, and in Arkansas, 
Oklahoma and Missouri has made an enviable record. It is 
a 1 1/32 to 1% inch cotton, with an exceedingly silky, 
strong fibre that cotton mills want, and therefore, it is 
easily sold. 
Acala 37 has a big boll. Lint percentage runs usually 33 
to 36 percent. Easy to pick but storm resistance is good, and 
it has been exceptional as a drought resister. The stalk is 
vigorous, and we think gives best results on uplands and 
sandy or clay loams. 
Rowden 40 
Rowden cotton has been known for 25 years, but the 
strain 40 is a distinct improvement developed at the Cotton 
Experiment Station in Arkansas. It has a very large round 
boll, very popular with pickers. Lint outturn averages 35%. 
Staple 1 1/16 inches. Early maturity, storm resistance good. 
A prolific yielder, and particularly desirable where cotton 
wilt is present, as it is highly wilt resistant. 
Half and Half 
Probably the most “cussed out” cotton known. Cotton 
mills claim it is too short and brittle to be desirable. How¬ 
ever, year after year, farmers demand this variety, and 
make a good living out of it, receiving almost as much per 
pound as for other short cottons, and a whole lot bigger 
turn-out at the gin. The originator claims from 45% to 51% 
lint. , . 
Unless you buy direct from the originator whose price is 
$6.50 per cwt. today, January 5th, 1934, you can only ob¬ 
tain Half and Half ginned on public gins because it is almost 
entirely raised by small farmers. We pick only.the best we 
can find, demanding gin records to show how it turns out. 
and turn down much more than we buy. All other cottons 
we can furnish privately ginned, but you can’t do this on 
Half and Half.
