CERTIFIED D. & P. L 11-A COTTON 
DELTAPINE FOUNDATION STOCK SEED 
D. a P. L. 11-A requires fewer bolls to 
make a pound than most other varieties. 
It is very prolific, unusually easy to pick, 
yet storm-resistant. Its medium size open 
weed and earliness helps it escape boll 
weevil damage. 
C. Reed, Orangeburg Co., S. C., says; 
“My land is badly wilt infested, but D. 
& P. L. 11-A was little affected. It out- 
yielded any cotton I ever planted. 1% 
bales per acre. 42% lint. 1% inch staple.” 
“I liked D. & P. L. 11-A fine. It linted 
42% with better than an inch staple.”— 
R. L. Langford, Leesville Co., S. C. 
“I am well pleased with D. & P. L. 
11-A and will plant it again next year. 
It outyielded local varieties, was a week 
earlier, has a very good staple and 41% 
lint.” — J. C. Bickley, Lexington Co., S. C. 
THE MOST POPULAR COTTON IN 
AMERICA. Lelads at more Experiment 
Stations, is used in more one variety com¬ 
munities and on more farms than any 
other cotton, li/g inch staple. 42% lint. 
Sewi-wilt resistant. Adapted to all soils 
except those with excessive wilt. Because 
of its extreme earliness it is planted al¬ 
most exclusively in the northern section 
of the Cotton Belt west of the Blue Ridge 
and is rapidly replacing other varieties in 
the Carolinas and Virginia. 
It made highest yields and money value 
per acre in experiment station tests in 
practically every Cotton Belt State. At 
the South Carolina Experiment Station it 
yielded 728 pounds of lint per acre, much 
higher than any other variety.

In Scotland Co., N. C., it produced 911 
lbs. of lint per acre, first picking 570 lbs., 
for Jim Taylor, and nearly 30 bales on 
about 20 acres for Wm. Strother. 
“We get fine results from D. & P. L. 
11-A. 40 acres made 60 bales.”—C. W. 
Baunknight, Oconee Co., S. C. 
D. & F. Xi. 11-A cotton on one of the 52,000- 
acre Delta and Fine Dand Farms in August, 
1939, where it averaged 750 pounds of lint 
per acre on 10,000 acres. For 28 years they 
have been one of the world’s largest cotton 
producers. T. W, Wood & Sons are the ex¬ 
clusive agent in this section for seed de¬ 
veloped and grown by their breeders. 
It is Delinted and Treated with Cere- 
san. Germinates Quicker, Requires Less 
Seed Per Acre. Avoids Planting Over. 
Va. Experiment Station; Ceresan treated 
cotton was ready to pick ten days before 
untreated seed planted same time. Do not 
plant untreated seed in Va'.” 
S. C. Experiment Station: “Treated cot¬ 
ton seed produced twice as many plants as 
untreated seed and yielded 430 pounds more 
per acre, 28% increase.” 
N. C. Experiment Station: "Treating cot¬ 
ton seed increased returns $21.56 per acre. 
2i times as many plants came up.” 
WOOD’S CERTIFIED No. 23 SUDAN GRASS 
Produces !4 more leaves and growth 
than regular Sudlan. The best sum¬ 
mer hay and pasture crop for the 
South. Extremely heat and drought 
resistant. Yields 3 to 5 tons of hay 
per acre. Developed from ordinary 
Sudan Grass. Tested for many years 
under extreme conditions of heat and 
drought on different types of soil. 
Strain No. 23 proved superior to all 
others and produced % more leaves 
and yield of hay or pasture than 
regular Sudan. It has a stronger, 
more vigorous growth. It is more 
heat and drought resistant than any 
other summer forage crop. It is an 
annual and cannot become a pest. 
For grazing it is equal to blue 
grass as a milk producer. At one 
Experiment Station one acre per 
cow furnished abundant pasture for 
125 days. The cows made a daily 
average of 3.8 lbs. more milk than 
they ever did on native grass. At 
the Middle Tennessee Experiment 
Station in a very dry summer, when 
permanent pastures were parched, 
two yearling steers gained 1% lbs. 
in 92 days. They pronounced it the 
best of all dry weather grasses for 
the South. 
The hay contains about 9%% pro¬ 
tein and is equal to timothy in feed¬ 
ing value. The slender leaf and stem 
makes the finest quality hay, easy 
to cut and cure, and relished by all 
livestock. It can be cut in six weeks, 
allowing 3 or 4 cuttings a season. 
Good for silage. It does well on any 
type of soil, but does not rob the land. 
Wood's Certified No. 23 Sudan Grass makes a vigorous growth, sometimes 100 
stems stooling out from one seed. It is one of the best, quick growing summer pasture 
crops for all livestock, including hogs and poultry. It frequently can be pastured three 
weeks after sowing. Hugh McRae, of Wilmington, N. C., one of the leading Southern 
pasture crop authorities, recommends Sudan very highly for summer pasture: “This 
valuable grass may be sown from April 1st to August, with a grain drill or broadcast, 
but does best when sown in rows and cultivated. It grows faster than soybeans. One 
acre will pasture one cow from June through October.” Sow 20 lbs. broadcast, or 
8 lbs. in cultivated rows, or sown with soybean, cowpeas. etc.
