SOUTH CAROLINA 
This State reports seed cotton production only at 
Pee Dee Station, Florence, a sandy loam area highly 
infested with wilt. 
1 Stoneville 2-B was third in seed cotton pro- 
IJ/OD duction, in a test of forty varieties, twenty 
of which are rated as wilt resistant. 
1 again third in seed cotton produc- 
LVO i Qf forty-six varieties, being 
just 5.0 pounds under the leading variety- 
No staple length and lint percentage information 
is available. 
STONEVILLE 2-B IS ONE OP THE FEW EARLY 
MATURING BIG BOLL COTTONS. 
TENNESSEE 
Tennessee does not publish yearly reixirts of the 
results of cotton experiments. 
The latest official bulletin, No. 158, of June, 1930, 
states on Page 8 — “Stoneville No. 2 has been a con- 
sistant high yielder and may be taken as a STAN¬ 
DARD OF COMPARISON.” 
Table Number 4 shows the Stoneville No. 2 to be 
the highest in average of Lint Yields, of twelve 
strains at Jackson and Knoxville for a period of 
seven years, 1928 to 1934- 
The last paragraph in the Bulletin says —“How¬ 
ever, Stoneville 2, the D. & P. L. strains and Delfos 
719 have stood out because of their all around su- 
perioritj’^ and are recommended.” 
A recent official communication advises us — 
“Your Stoneville 2-B is one of the three leading varie¬ 
ties in our tests and is recommended for the State.” 
Staple length and lint percent averages are not 
available. 
STONEVILLE 2-B IS A NEW COTTON WITH 
MORE HIGH AVERAGES THAN ANY OTHER 
COTTON HAS EVER :MADE. 
TEXAS 
We have no record of the 2-B in the College tests 
in the State. 
In 1937 it was in a test in Nueces County, conduct¬ 
ed cooi)eratively by the College and the Bureau of 
Plant Industry, U. S. D. A. The report shows 2-B 
in third rank in a list of twenty-one strains, in lint 
yield per acre. It was longer in staple than the two 
leading varieties, showing 34/32 inch staple and 
35-2% lint, and would probably have been highest 
in money value of seed and lint, had such values 
been computed.
