THE BAGLEY SIGNAL 



Makes Over Bale Per Acre 
In Spite of Drought 
W. W. Bagley & Sons, 
Martindale, Texas, 
Gentlemen: 4 
Last year was my first year to 
- grow BAGLEY COTTON and I 
found it to be the best cotton I 
had ever grown. It was a very dry 
season, but I made an average of 
over a bale per acre anyway. I 
received 43% turn-out at the gin 
and my ginner tried to buy all my 
seed to plant on his farm. My cot- 
ton brought the top price on the 
market. I am planting all BAG- 
‘LEY this year as it stands the 
drought better than any cotton and 
is the easiest to pick and makes 
_more money per acre, 
Yours very truly,

Gentlemen: 
Six years ago in trying to find 
the best cotton for all types of soil, 
I planted BAGLEY COTTONSEED 
and seed of two other varieties and 
since that time I have had tests 
of BAGLEY with other varieties 
and have found to my full satis- 
faction that BAGLEY COTTON 
makes the greatest yield per acre,

BAGLEY and two other varieties 
of cotton. I had three blocks of 
five acres each and or 8 bu, 
of BAGLEY REGISTERED COT- 
TONSEED on one five-acre block 
and 3 bu. each on the other two 
blocks of the best seed from the 
breeders of two other ay va- 
rieties of cotton. My BAGLEY 
COTTON made 2994 lbs, lint cot 
ton from 7050 lbs, seed cotton on 
the five acres, which is better than 
a bale per acre. My other cot 
on each of the five-acre blo 
made a few pounds more than 1 
lbs. of lint cotton. The BAG

made nearly twice the yield as m 
other cotton and I figure my BAG- 
LEY COTTON made me $25.00 
more per bu. (or $105.00 move on

Shipment of Bagley Seed Goes Out 
To Texas Cotton Farmers 
Shipments, like the one shown above, go out each season until 
our supply of Bagley Pedigreed Seed is exhausted. The majority 
of our frinds and customers order early and we can give them most 
any shipping date they want. Regular periodical shipments are 
made by us on the Ist and 15th of each month: It pays to order 

thorough methods which we employ, 
early and get early shipping date especially with the heavy de- 
mand that is prevalent this season.
