HIGH GERMINATING 
COTTON SEEDS 
We always carry cotton seed 
over one year to increase germ¬ 
ination and eliminate antlirac- 
nose and other diseases. A re¬ 
cent test of our different lots 
averaged 82.1 per cent germin¬ 
ation. The State Department of 
Agriculture just informed us 
that due to the wet season they 
have not found a single lot of 
new crop cotton seed germin¬ 
ating over 30 to 40 per cent. 
With cotton acreage reduced 
and prices high, no farmer can 
take a chance on planting poor 
seed this year. 
Our seeds grown at the top of 
the cotton belt are two weeks 
earlier than others, getting 
ahead of the boll weevil. They 
have stood at the top of experi¬ 
ment station tests from Virginia 
to Georgia. 
WE TREAT COTTON SEED 
WITH CERESAN FOR 10 
CENTS PER BUSHEL 
EXTRA 
The N. C. Experiment Station 
says: “Treating cotton with 
Ceresan destroys anthracnose, 
boil rot and blight. It increases 
stands an average of 14S per 
cent, checks diseases of cotton 
seedlings, especially in cold, 
damp weather, and allows plant¬ 
ing a week to ten days earlier. It 
gives the plant a quick getaway, 
helping it get ahead of the boll 
weevil. It increases yie’ds from 
50 to 300 pounds of seed cotton 
per acre. The excellent seed 
treating work of T. W. Wood & 
Sons is a real service to farm¬ 
ers.” 
A Field of Wood’s Ingold Cotton 
Wood’s Ingold Cotton 
ItV Inch Staple, 40% Lint, 1% Bales Per Acre 
Trie only variety to average 500 pounds of lint per acre in the 
S 1X ii y ^ a , r V . lr 8? lu ?' State Test, made the highest ginning per cent, 
pulled l^-mch staple, and was one of the first to mature. 
1 pright, sturdy, rnedium bush; very heavy fruiter; often five 
bolls on one limb. Bolls are larger than Cleveland or Mexican Big 
Boll. Small seed; bolls open wide. Easy to pick, but lint does not 
shed, even if not picked until February. Disease resistant Most 
State experiment stations report it two weeks earlier than other 
varieties, maturing before boll weevil damage. Thrives in cold 
weather in which other cottons suffer. 
a .^hree-year test at Clemson, S. C., it was the first to mature, 
made the highest per cent first picking, 1,» 8 inch staple, 65 bolls per 
pound, third highest yield and per cent of lint of 44 varieties. In a 
special test it germinated and grew at temperatures so low that 50 
other cottons were killed. Highest per cent of lint in the North 
Carolina State tests for three years. In the Halifax N C test it 
was the second highest yielding variety and highest per cent of lint. 
In a seven-year far-Southern State Experiment Station test it 
made the highest yield of lint and length of staple, and averaged 
39 per cent lint.

Wood’s Certified Trice Cotton 
Highest Yield Seed Cotton Six-Year Virginia State Test 
It^ Inch Staple. 34';; Lint. There is no earlier variety. Highest 
Lint Value of ten varieties at the Louisiana Experiment Station. 
Our new improved strain with a heavier yield, longer staple, 
larger boll, smaller seed, and higher turn out of lint, was bred and 
grown for us by the Virginia Experiment Station in co-operation 
with the United States Department of Agriculture, and is certified 
by the Virginia Crop Improvement Association. It yields consist¬ 
ently 1,600 to 2,000 pounds of seed cotton per acre, and has gone as 
high as 2,700 pounds. 
W. F. Jackson, Harnett Co., N. C., says: “It yielded 4.684 pounds 
of seed cotton on three acres, ginned out well over a bale per acre, 
double the average in my section. It is ten days earlier than other 
varieties and can all be picked in September, leaving plenty of time 
for fall crops. Stays in the burr well during storms. Good for 
either poor or rich land. ”

34 bales on 29 acres.
