A PRODUCTIVE, NEW, 1 % 2 " STAPLE COTTON FOR WILT LANDS 
Wilds Semi-Wilt has been bred for 
those growers of long staple cotton, 
who, by reason of the wide spread of 
fusarium wilt, have been forced to 
quit growing long cotton and go to the 
shorter lengths. Long staple cotton is 
a specialty and when a producer has 
learned how to handle and market 
long staple he is not satisfied with 
the shorter kinds. Many growers have 
made more net dollars per acre with 
well bred long cotton and are sold 
on growing it. Wilds Semi-Wilt has 
been bred to fill this need. 
It is not perfect; its lint per cent is 
lower than we would like to have it; 
it is not quite as productive as the 
Wilds; it is not quite as wilt resistant 
as Clevewilt but it has a strong, uni¬ 
form staple usually 1% 2 " and brings 
a good price and we believe it will 
make more net dollars per acre for 
staple growers with wilt land than 
any other long staple cotton. 
On our entire acreage planted in 
this new variety all on soil more or 
less wilt infested, we have not lost 
5% from wilt. Some acres are produc¬ 
ing a bale per acre. The first 100 
bales of this cotton ginned to Septem¬ 
ber 22nd is the most uniform lot of 
cotton we have ever ginned off our 
farms. Practically all was 1% 2 ", some 
1%" staple—smooth and excellent 
character—and several bales brought 
better than 20^ per pound.
