For twenty years, since the first selections of the Stoneville strains were made, © 
we have endeavored to improve them by selection only. To the old No. 2 
strain we have added the 2-A and more recently the 2-B, both of which were 
meritorious selections. This year we have in production our selection No. 
8275, which will be sold as 2-B, following up our policy of improving our es- 
tablished strains without confusing the public by continually ee new 
strain numbers. 
This strain is very uniform in plant type, has wide spreading branches, a fine 
~ round boll and slightly better lint percentage than our former strains of 2-B. 
Laboratory tests of the past three years productions show a high degree of 
uniformity of staple fibre lengths and an unusually high bundle or tensile 
strength, with low percentage of mill waste. 
It has been outstanding in yields of seed cotton and lint per acre in our own 
tests and in the official tests where it has been included at several Experiment 
Stations. We offer it with full confidence that it will please both the growers of 
fine cotton and the mills that want uniformity in both length and strength of 
fibre.
