BAGLEY NEW 
793 MASTER STRAIN 
NEWEST REGULAR BAGLEY TYPE 
Our 798 Master Strain fs a well-balanced, high yield- 
ing cotton that gives an excellent performance in the 
field, at the gin and on the market. Backed by 30 
years of good sound breeding work, it is very prolific, 
fast fruiting and often makes from 10% to 25% more 
than ordinary cotton. The upright, strong, sturdy 
stalks produce for you a strong, hard, uniform. 
31/32-inch to 11/16-inch staple and a gin lint turn- 
out of 40% to 42% dependent on soil and season. The 
long, short-jointed fruiting branches bear a majority 
of big, round, uniform, five-lock bolls with | slight 
point. Well-shaped bur makes it easy to pick. 50 to 
60 bolls make a pound of seed cotton. It grows fast, 
fruits excessively and matures early. The medium fol- 
jage is adequate for proper boll protection during 
ordinary dry, hot summers. Its deep, penetrating tap 
roots and fine lateral rooting system often insure a 
crop in dry seasons when ordinary cottons fail. Has 
medium size, uniform, high-quality seed that gives 
good germination. This cotton is very STORM PROOF, 
DROUGHT RESISTANT and has a HIGH VARIETAL 
PURITY. 




GLEY 
Special STONEVILLE 2-B 
HIGHEST YIELDING STONEVILLE TYPE 
Our Special Stoneville 2-B is a real money-making 
cotton, being especially adapted to valley land, bottom 
or rich, flat, level land but also does well on any type 
of cotton-growing soil. It grows off fast, sets fruit 
quickly, matures and opens early. Its sturdy, ‘upright 
stalk with vigorous, spreading, long, short - jointed 
fruiting branches produce medium to large fluffy bolls 
that open well and pick easy. 60 to 70 bolls make a 
pound of seed cotton. A large per cent of the bolls 
are five-lock. It is exceptionally high-yielding. Under 
favorable conditions increased production of 10% to 
25% is often obtained. It gives an average lint turn- 
out of 35% to 38%, depending on land and season and 
has a good character, uniform 1-inch to 14-inch strong 
staple, according to soil and season. The foliage is 
medium light, small leaves making it more insect re- 
sistant and crop matures quicker. The fine rooting 
system helps account for the extra high yields. Seed 
are medium size with well-filled, easy-to-germinate 
kernels. The storm proofness is excellent for this type 
cotton.

At right—W. W. Bagley is shown ginning some of the thousands 
dividual stalk selections which are picked separately in paper bags. 
of stalk selections made and tested each year. This is a tedious job 
but in no other way can the boll and stalk selections be ginned and 
handled. Bagley, knows that this job is a very important one in the 
production of BAGLEY BETTER PEDIGREED SEED. Attention to 
every little detail is necessary for success. 
He first weighs the lint and then weighs the seed from a single 
stalk selection, thus, he is able to compute the lint per cent for each 
individual stalk selection made. The lint from each stalk selection is 
then tested and pulled for strength, length and uniformity of fiber. 
All the boll and stalk selections are ginned on the little motor 
drawn gin (shown at right). Then the selections are tested for lint 
per cent and staple. The selections that do not meet the High Stand- 
Sarda of BAGLEY & SONS are then and there discarded. The selections 
that meet BAGLEY & SONS High Standards are carried on in their 
Breeding work. In this manner BAGLEY & SONS are constantly im- 
proving BAGLEY BETTER PEDIGREED COTTONSEED each year. 
Bagley’s Breeding procedure is too long to mention here in the space 
allotted, however, if you are in this section call by to. see them and 
they will be glad to show you. Visitors are always welcome.

B-17 ROYAL ROWDEN 
NEWEST and BEST YIELDING ROWDEN TYPE 
Our B-17 Royal Rowden is new and different. It is 
fast becoming known as the cotton that is adaptable 
to most all soils and climates suited to cotton growing. 
It’s very prolific and fast fruiting, making quite often 
from 15% to 25% more per acre than ordinary cot- 
tons. It has an upright, pyramidal stalk with well- 
spaced, short-jointed fruiting branches that produce 
big, fluffy bolls which open nicely and are easily 
picked. 50 to 60 bolls make a pound of seed cotton. 
It grows off extra fast, sets fruit rapidly, and opens 
early. The foliage is reduced to a minimum affording 
less harborage for insects and allows crop to mature 
quicker. The good tap and lateral rooting system 
increases yield ability. The lint turn-out runs from 
37% to 40%, dependent on land and season, and it 
has a hard strong, uniform 31/32-inch to 1 1/16-inch 
staple, according to soil and season. It has uniform, 
medium to large size seed with well-filled, healthy 
kernels that give good germination. DROUGHT RE-
