At the DELTA Substation, at Clarkdale in Crittenden County, DELTA- 
PINE 12 produced the highest yield with 589.8 pounds lint compared to 
555.7 for the next highest variety. In another test in Crittenden County 
DELTAPINE led with 602.4 pounds lint per acre against 565.4 from the 
second highest variety. In a test in Mississippi County DELTAPINE 12 
had the highest yield with 962 pounds lint against 828 pounds from the 
second variety. In a test in Hot Springs County, DELTAPINE 12 was first 
with 636 pour:ds lint per acre while the second variety produced 607 
pounds. In a test at Scott, in Pulaski County, DELTAPINE 12 ranked 
second in yield and also second in a test at Tamo in Jefferson County, 
with DELTAPINE A first. In a Chicot County test near Lake Village 
DELTAPINE 12 was third. 
MISSOURI 
In Missouri the Experiment Station has variety tests at SIKESTON 
and at STEELE. At both of these places DELTAPINE 12 has produced the 
highest average yield for the two years 1939-40. At SIKESTON the two- 
year average yield of DELTAPINE 12 is 591 pounds of lint per acre 
while that of the second high commercial variety is 544 pounds. At 
STEELE the two-year average for DELTAPINE 12 is 775 pounds of lint, 
while that of the second high commercial variety, DELTAPINE A, is 772 
pounds. 
OKLAHOMA 
In Oklahoma the only cotton variety tests conducted by the Experiment 
Station in 1940 was at LAWTON, in the Southwestern part of the state. In 
that test DELTAPINE A ranked second in lint yield, exceeded by one 
variety by nine pounds, and DELTAPINE 12 produced only 15 pounds 
less than the leading variety. In 1939 the Oklahoma Station conduc‘ted 
tests at five places in Eastern and Central regions, viz., at Perkins, 
Porter, Canadian, Ada and Tishomingo. At these 5 places DELTAPINE 
12 ranked first in average yield and money value. 
LOUISIANA 
DELTAPINE 12 made the highest yield at the Northeast Experiment 
Station, St. Joseph, alluvial land with 17 varieties in 1940. At the Main 
Station, at Baton Rouge, on bench land, DELTAPINE 12 made the second 
highest yield. 
GEORGIA 
At the Georgia Station, at EXPERIMENT, Georgia, in 1940, DELTAPINE 
12 ranked second, having been outyielded by DELTAPINE A only. At 
the COASTAL PLAIN Station, Tifton, Georgia, DELTAPINE 12 ranked sec- 
ond only to a non-commercial DELTAPINE strain.

ALABAMA 
The two-year average 1939-40 for Central Alabama, with four stations 
included, shows DELTAPINE 12 in second place, with a variety of 7/g-inch 
staple exceeding it by nine pounds. In the Wilt tests DELTAPINE 12 has 
the highest 2-year average yield of the tests conducted at 8 stations in 
various parts of the state, with 23 varieties selected for wilt resistance 
or tolerance. 
We do not recommend DELTAPINE 12 for the worst wilt land but on 
moderately infested land DELTAPINE 12 can be expected to give good 
results. Varieties bred for extreme wilt resistance are not generally very 
productive and on land that is not severely infested they cannot compete 
hes more productive varieties, which may be less resistant to the 
isease.

“DELTAPINE cotton is at home under a wide range of soil and climatic 
conditions, a fact which is well borne out by these records of experiment 
station trials. We are offering DELTAPINE 12 seed for sale to the public 
for the second season, with the conviction that no other variety provides 
such a satisfactory and profitable combination of the essential charac- 
ters, productiveness, length of staple, lint turnout and disease resistance. 
“All of the seed we sell are grown on our own properties only and no 
other variety is planted on these places. Of course, no other variety is 
ginned at our private gins. The seed we planted this season were pro- 
duced in 1940 on fields that were carefully inspected and rogued to 
maintain uniformity and these seed were ginned and handled separately 
from our general crop of DELTAPINE 12. Each bag of our DELTAPINE 12 
seed is tagged with ‘Breeder's Purple’ tag, issued to us by the state seed 
authorities, vyhich tag identifies our product as REGISTERED seed from 
the originator of the variety. 
"Through sales of seed this season DELTAPINE 12 has been quite 
widely distributed. Interested parties are advised to get in touch with 
those who are planting this cotton and to see their crops if possible.”
