Delfos 531-A is today the outstanding strain of Delfos representative 
of the old 6102 type. It is dwarfy, spreading, light in foliage, very early, 
and very prolific. For the past few years it has consistently ranked high 
in official cotton variety tests over the cotton belt. 
It has all the good qualities of the original 6102 and in addition has a 
better boll, better lint percentage, and better length. Delfos 531-A is the 
best 1-5/32 to 1-3/16 inch cotton for growing on good land, that is avail¬ 
able to the public today. At the Delta Experiment Station in 1934, Delfos 
531-A ranked second in money value, in a test with 42 other cottons; third 
in a test with 51 other strains. In 1935 we grew 416 1 /2 bales of 500 lbs 
each, on 326 acres; an average of 637 pounds of lint per acre. Most of this 
crop was classed 1-3/16.
