Pure Bred Seed Are Half fhe Battle 
Higher and higher yields are possible for you if you take advan¬ 
tage of the tireless, painstaking scientific work that is constantly 
being carried on by the most efficient cotton Experiment Stations in 
the various States. Old varieties are being constantly improved 
through new strains, and new varieties are being developed—all of 
which mean more money in your pocket if you sell your old seed to 
the gin and plant each spring one of the pure-bred high yielding 
strains described herein. 
We keep constantly in touch with this work all over the South, 
and as soon as a new variety has proven its worth and its seeds are 
available in commercial quantities, we offer them to our customers. 
We buy from breeders direct, and from growers who get breeders’ 
stock and plant an entire plantation in one variety, and gin on their 
own private gin. 
Machine Culled, Graded and Cleaned 
After trying out all the cotton seed cleaners on the market, we 
felt better work could be done and built one of ourt own. Results 
have justified the expense. We take out hulls, loose cotton, trash, 
dirt, light weight immature seed. You would be amazed at what we 
remove from a ton of seed, even when the seed looks very clean at 
first glance. 
Therefore, the seed we ship is plump, full weight uniform seed, 
clean of all trash; easy to plant, no clogging of planter which means 
a uniform stand of strong, vigorous plants (plump heavy seed pro¬ 
duces strong plants, light weight seed produce weak, sickly plants, 
and we remove them). Our culled and graded seed requires less seed 
per acre to obtain a stand, which is a saving, and they produce more 
cotton per acre, which means more profit to you. 
Increased Yields Possible 
With some form of acreage control or cotton production dontrol in 
prospect for the next few years, it becomes more and more important 
to produce the most cotton on the least acreage. You can help a lot 
by planting winter legumes and turning them under, and by more 
thorough cultivation of your growing cotton crop, but bear in mind, 
first and foremost—pure bred seed is necessary. Treat seed with 
2 percent Ceresan and make larger crop. 
The Famous Yielding Variety, D.P.L. No. 11-A Cotton 
D. P. L. No. 
The plantation of the Delta & Pine Land Company of Mississippi, 
at Scott, Mississippi, is in itself the largest cotton plantation in the 
world. 
In order to improve old varieties and if possible to develop superior 
new varieties, the Company, 20 years ago, established its own Experi¬ 
ment Station on the property at Scott, Mississippi, in every way 
comparable with the best government stations. 
11 - A Cotton 
The culmination of 20 years of seed breeding is embodied in D. P. 
L. 11-A, hard and wiry staple from 1 inch full to 1 3/32 inch full 
when grown on better soil; exceptional spinning value, commands 
substantial premiums, early, storm proof, disease resistant, medium 
foliage, marvelous lint yield (39 to 44 percent), nice boll, mostly 
five lock.
