Reuter offers you only pedigreed Cotton seed pro- 
duced by the originators. This gives you an op- 
portunity each year to produce your own planting 
stock. Cotton seed “runs out” quickly, so Reuter 
urges you to plant the breeders’ latest and most 
improved strain each year for a small part of your 
acreage. Seed from this planting may be used for 
your general crop the following year with good 
results. 
The stock we offer has been treated with Ceresan 
to produce better stands of more vigorous plants. 
Average germination over 90%. 




If you plant your own Cotton Seed treat it with. 2% 
Ceresan. Will increase yield. 1 Ib. treats 5 to 8 bushels.

DELTAPINE 14 
We are now offering Breeder’s Registered Delta- 
pine 14 planting seed with the assurance that this 
is the most productive and thoroughly satisfactory 
variety yet introduced. It has proved more produc- 
tive with a somewhat longer staple and a larger 
boll than has either Deltapine 12 or Deltapine 11-A, 
to which it is related and similar. 
The spinning quality of this cotton has been 
tested by the United States Department of Agri- 
culture and the results were released in a report 
of May, 1942, and reads as follows: ‘“Deltapine 14. 
Very low percentage of manufacturing waste and 
strong yarns of good appearance combine to make 
this an outstanding variety in the test. This sample 
was found superior to strain 12 in almost every 
respect.” 
Deltapine 14 has been tested thoroughly at Scott 
during the past four years, 1938-41, and it has 
outyielded all other varieties that have been tried 
for that period. In the four years Deltapine 14 has 
been compared with Deltapine 12 in ten separate 
variety and strain tests. In all but one of these 
ten tests Deltapine 14 outyielded Deltapine 12, with 
an average increase of 4.8%. The average lint per- 
centage was practically the same, differing by 
3/10 of one percentage point and the average length 
of staple was 85/32nds for Deltapine 14 against 
34.3/32nds for Deltapine 12 as classed by the Staple 
Cotton Cooperative Association. A portion of the 
1941 crop of Deltapine 14 was classed as 1% but 
this is predominately 1 38/32 cotton. From 5% to 
10%. fewer bolls of Deltapine 14 are required to 
make a pound of seed cotton or lint than of Delta- 
pine 12.
