DELTAPINE 14 
Plant to Prosper with 
-.-A NEW COTTON 
Deltapine 14 was bred and developed on the 
home experiment station of the Delta & Pine 
Land Company of Mississippi, Scott, Mississippi, 
and has been tested thoroughly at Scott during 
the past four years, 1938-41, and it has out- 
yielded 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 Delta- 
pine 12, with an average increase of 4.8%. The 
average lint percentage was practically the 
same, differing by 3/10 of one percentage point 
and the average length of staple was 35/32nds 
for Deltapine 14 against 34.3/32nds for Delta- 
pine 12 as classed by the Staple Cotton Co- 
operative Association. A portion of the 1941 
crop of Deltapine 14 was classed and sold as 
1%, but this is predominantly 1 3/32 cotton. 
From 5% to 10% fewer bolls of Deltapine 14 are 
required to make a pound of seed cotton or lint 
than of Deltapine 12. Sorry we have none of 
this cotton to offer, as the demand was so great 
our stocks were sold out early last fall. 
CERTIFIED WILDS 13 
Wilds cotton is recognized from Arkansas to 
South Carolina as being one of the best upland 
long staples in the country and as having no 
competition in its length class. 
THINNER FOLIAGE, SMALLER STALK 
Wilds 13 was bred from Wilds 11 and has 
many good qualities, such as earliness, desira- 
ble type, drought resistance, large bolls, excel- 
lent opening, fluffiness, high production, early 
fruitage, high per cent (33% to 35%), and a 
fiber that is 136" to 1¥%"’ in length, silky and 
strong. In addition, Wilds 13 has thinner foli- 
age, is more open in type and produces a 
smaller plant growth. 
EARLY FRUITAGE, LARGE BOLLS 
Daily bloom counts show Wilds strains to be 
the earliest of all cottons in setting a crop; 
however, the bolls are large and require a 
longer period to develop. The hull is thick, 
tough and weevil resistant, The thinner foliage 
and smaller plant growth of Wilds 13 assures 
even better and more uniform opening.

A TYPICAL FIELD OF DELTAPINE COTTON 
CERTIFIED DELFOS 531-C 
The Delfos 531-C has all the good qualities of 
its forebears, the Delfos 6102 and 531 strains, 
and was selected primarily for its ability to 
produce more lint per acre. Delfos 531-C is 
extra spreading and prolific. Very similar to, 
but more vigorous and disease resistant than 
Delfos 531-B. There are 75 to 85 bolls to a 
pound of seed cotton, depending on soil and 
climatic conditions. It is very early in maturity 
and the picking quality is very good. Has a 
lint percentage of 33% to 35%, and a staple 
that is 15/32” to 13/16” in length. The foliage 
is light.. Because of its extra vigor,- disease 
resistance and prolificness, it has proven to be 
widely adapted and a good money maker on 
most lands of valley or fertile upland sections. 
Seed are Ceresan treated. Prices F.O.B. Mem- 
phis, 100 lbs., $6.75; Ton, $125.00. 
COTTON 

CERTIFIED DELTAPINE 12 
First Year From Breeder 
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 proven to be a 
most worthy successor. It is closely related to 
Deltapine A and is similar, but superior, in 
most characteristics. Deltapine 12 is more pro- 
ductive, has as good staple with a better lint 
turnout and is more disease resistant. Delta- 
pine 12 has returned from crops grown in the 
Mississippi River valley a staple ranging from 
1 1/32" to 14%", with 1 3/32'' predominating. 
The staple is exceptionally uniform, of good 
character and quality. In four variety tests con- 
ducted by the Alabama Experiment Station in 
North Alabama, during 1939 and 1940, the aver- 
age lint turnout was 44% each season. 
Seed are Ceresan treated. Prices F.O.B, Mem- 
phis, 100 lbs., $6.75; Ton, $125.00. 
STAYLEYMONE (Plant Growth Substance) 
For cotton, corn, small grains, soy beans, cow peas, alfalfa, garden seed, grasses, etc. 
Last spring after publication of experimental information on the use of Harmones by the 
University of Oklahoma, we had innumerable calls from our planter friends for Stayleymone to 
be used in an experimental way. At the time our catalogue goes to press it will be too early 
for us to know the results obtained from these experiments. We believe, however, that they 
will be favorable, as the manufacturer has turned Stayleymone over to their sales department 
for handling during this coming season. Stayleymone was handled in their research depart- 
ment this last spring. Literature telling all about Stayleymone, also prices will be available 
about the first of the year. Write us. 
LERESAN 

HELPS COTTON GROWERS 
CUT DISEASE LOSSES 
Cotton growers knew that poor stands reduce yields and profits, and often 
mean replanting. You can increase your profits 10 to 20% by obtaining full 
stands of healthy plants. 
HOW CERESAN HELPS 
REDUCES SEED DECAY AND DAMPING-OFF—Ceresan, an organic mercury 
dry disinfectant, is applied to the cotton seed before planting. It helps protect 
seed against decay in cold, wet soil and the young seedlings against damping- 
off or sore-shin. Ceresan generally insures good stands, and often saves re- 
planting. 
CHECKS CERTAIN SEED-BORNE DISEASES—Ceresan also reduces the losses 
in stand caused by certain diseases carried on the surface of the seed, such as 
anthracnose or pink boll rot, and angular leaf-spot. 
IMPROVES STANDS AND YIELDS—Experiment station tests prove Ceresan 
increases stands and yields. In tests by ARKANSAS, Ceresan gave increased 
emergence of 34%, and an increased yield of 14.5%. 
In LOUISIANA, Ceresan gave 15.8% increase in emergence in two years’ 
tests, and 187 pounds increase in yield. 
In MISSISSIPPI tests Ceresan increased emergence over the non-treated seed 
by 19.3% and New Improved Ceresan by 29.3%. 
S, Ceresan-treated seeds gave increased stands over untreated seeds 
i in all cases. 
yoWrite. ds NOW Sean neta seed you will want EA PLANTING—Ceresan enables you to plant earlier because it pro- 
treated (it must be 5 tons or more), and we will name tects the seed from decay and reduces damping-off losses and thus usuall 
price. If you have a small quantity of seed to treat assures better stands, also early planting helps get ahead of the boll weevil. 
you can handle them yourself. Write for full directions 1 pound of 2% Ceresan is enough to treat 5 to 8 bushels planting cotton seed.

Treat Your Cottonseed With Ceresan 
WE WILL ARRANGE IT FOR YOU 
If you are to busy, we will get it done for you, 
quickly and reasonably, and cull your seed at the 
same time. The culls would not grow good stalks any- 
way but will bring almost enough at oil mills to pay 
for cost of treating your seed. This is the Biggest Boost In
