WOOD'S COTTON SEED 
Ceresan Treated to Produce More Vigorous Plants 
Plant 30 to 40 lbs. per acre in 3 to 4-foot rows, when the soil be- 
gins to warm, not over 1 inch deep and drill thick. (Deltapine 12, 
being delinted, plant 20 to 25 lbs. per acre). Cultivate shallow and 
frequently until the branches begin to overlap. Apply 600 lbs. 
Wood's Standard 4-12-4 Fertilizer per acre. 
DELTAPINE 12 (. & P. L. 12) 
A Cotton of Proven Merit 
Deltapine 12 (D. & P. L. 12) was chosen in the spring of 1940 to 
replace the famous Deltapine A (D. & P. L, 11-A), and has proved 
a most worthy successor. It is closely related to Deltapine A and 
is similar, but superior in most characteristics. It is more produc- 
tive, has as good staple with a better lint turnout, and is more 
disease resistant. In D. & P. L. experimental fields it has produced 
a 4-year average yield of 8 per cent more lint per acre than Delta- 
pine A (D. & P. L. 11-A). In 1989 Deltapine 12 was only planted on 
their Empire seed increasing unit, and they harvested 1,868 bales. 
An accurate, bale by bale record showed an average lint turnout 
for the entire crop of 40.6 per cent. In four variety tests conducted 
by the Alabama Experiment Station during 1939 and 1940, the ay- 
erage lint turnout was 44 per cent each season. Crops in the Missis- 
sippi River Valley produced a staple ranging from 1-1/32 inches to 
1-1/8 inches, with 1-3/32 inches predominating. The staple is excep- 
tionally uniform, of good character and quality. 
With two successful seasons behind it, Deltapine 12 continues 
to pile up such impressive records that it is today the most discussed 
and widely publicized variety in the whole South. Distinguished 
by its productiveness, its high gin turnout, its excellent staple and 
its ability to produce a crop under adverse soil and weather condi- 
tions, it is no wonder that Deltapine 12 planting seeds are in greater 
demand than any other variety. 
Deltapine 12 has made an excellent record in variety tests at va- 
rious experiment stations, and has given splendid yields wherever 
it has been planted. In South Carolina in 1940 it was second in yield 
at the Pee Dee Experiment Station, having been outyielded only by 
a non-commercial Deltapine strain. Deltapine 12 was first in yield 
at the Edisto station at Blackville, S. C. 
We are authorized distributors for this very fine cotton seed in 
Virginia and the Carolinas, and owing to the increasing demand and 
limited supply available, we suggest buying your requirements 
early. Write for descriptive circular. 
D. & P. L. 12 Cotton is delinted, treated and requires only 20 to 
25 lbs. per acre, making it economical for planting. 
WOOD’S INGOLD COTTON 
1-1/16 Inch Staple—39% Lint 
Its early maturity, long staple, and high yielding qualities have 
made our Wood’s Ingold Cotton one of our leading varieties. Grown 
in the northern part of the cotton belt, it is two weeks earlier than 
most cottons, generally getting ahead of the boll weevil. Makes a 
sturdy, upright medium bush plant. Very heavy fruiter, often 5 
large bolls on one limb, open wide, but do not shed out. 
COKER 200-1 COTTON 
1-1/8 Inch Staple—38™% Lint 
A new Coker 100-2 selection, more uniform type, thinner foliage, 
earlier. Superior for close spacing on fertile non-wilt soil. Small 
stalks and leaves, thin foliage, quick fruitage. 75 bolls per 1b. Opens 
wide, fluffs beautifully, storm and weather resistant. 
CERTIFIED COKER 100-2 COTTON 
1-1/16 to 1-1/8 Inch Staple—39% Lint 
10 days earlier than Farm Relief and outyields it on medium or 
good land. One of the heaviest yielding cottons on non-wilt land, 
due to escaping boll weevil damage by its extreme earliness; thin 
dark green foliage. Bolls slightly pointed, open wide, fluffs beauti- 
fully, yet storm-resistant. 
4-IN-1 WILT-RESISTANT COTTON 
1-1/16 Inch Staple—37% Lint 
One of the heaviest yielding and earliest wilt-resistant cottons. 
A highly dependable cotton well suited for planting on wilt infested 
land or thin soil. A vigorous grower and early. ; 
FARM RELIEF COTTON 
: 1-1/16 Inch Staple—40% Lint
