PLATE 2 
A. —Lone Star cotton plant grown under irrigation conditions in the South¬ 
west. Some of the bolls on the low limbs are often damaged in late season from 
being in contact with the wet soil. 
B. —Plant of Mebane cotton prostrated from weight of bolls late in the season. 
The tendency of this and other varieties with low growth habits to “lodge” 
when grown on heavy soils is regarded as a serious disadvantage for growing in 
irrigated regions.
