DELTAPINE 14 COTTON 
. (State Certified) 
Deltapine 14 needs no introduction—almost 
every farmer in the South has either grown 
it or has seen it in action. The Deltapine 
strain is the result of thirty years of breeding 
through hybridization and selection under the 
direction of Mr. Early C. Ewing, at the Delta- 
pine Plantation, Scott, Miss., where three hun- 
dred acres are devoted to experimental work 
each year. The generally favorable results 
obtained throughout a large part of the Cotton 
Belt with this variety indicate that it is suit- 
able for a wide range of territory. 
Deltapine 14 was the new strain introduced 
in 1942. For the 3 year period 1942-1943-1944, 
the average per acre production from the Scott 
plantation was 739 pounds of lint from an 
annual average of 8,188 acres planted to this 
new strain. 
Deltapine 14 combines heavy yield per acre 
with high lint outturn of 37 to 41% in Delta, 
often more in the hills; medium early ma- 
turity, storm resistant, staple from a good inch 
to 1 3/32, sometimes 14 on good land with 
adequate soil moisture, good spinning value.

FIELD COKER 100 STAPLE COTTON 
COKER'S WILDS 
Upland Long Staple 
Wilds cotton is recognized from Texas to the 
Carolinas, both by growers and manufacturers, 
as the outstanding upland long staple variety. 
It is an early maturing variety with staple 
length of 114 inch to 13% inch of high tensile 
strength and spinning value. 
Remember growing long staple cotton is a 
specialty. We do not recommend its planting 
by any new growers who are not familiar 
with the growing of same. 
For prices see list enclosed. 
EMPIRE 
Empire Cotton was developed at the Georgia 
Experiment Station in cooperation with the 
United States Department of Agriculture. It is 
of the Stoneville type, has large bolls and high 
lint percentage and is some earlier than Stone- 
ville or Deltapine. It has @ compact habit 
of growth and the plants frequently are slight- 
ly shorter than other varieties. It has been 
planted in this area the past few years and 
the planters who have grown same brag on it.

COKER 100 STAPLE 
“Extra Length—Bred for Delta’ 
This new line of Coker 100 breeding has 
earned a high standing among Delta planters 
who want a cotton with some extra staple 
length, and at same time growing, fruiting 
cad good picking qualities of shorter Coker 
100 cottons. Coker 100 Staple ideally fills 
these requirements. 
Coker 100 Staple is one of the most pro- 
ductive cottons that Coker has ever bred. 
The bolls are large (65 to 68 per pound)}—open 
wide, fluff beautifully, and handle nicely with 
mechanical picker. The ge turnout is high. 
The lint is hard, full-bodied, usually averaging 
around 1 5/32 in. in length. 
Coker 100 Staple was entered for the first 
time in 1945 in the main Uniform Cotton Varie- 
ty Test conducted by the Delta Branch Experi- 
ment Station, Stoneville, Mississippi, along 
with eleven other leading Delta varieties, was 
planted in test at seven different Delta loca- 
tions. In the average of these seven tests, 
Coker’s 100 Staple led all the other varieties 
in money value per acre—$220.00. 
Coker’s 100 Staple plant is erect, open type, 
dae well spaced fruiting branches and it is 
early. 
We have Foundation and State Certified 
Seed to offer.

HELPS COTTON GROWERS 
CUT DISEASE LOSSES 
Cotton growers know that poor stands reduce ylelds and profits, and often 
mean replanting. You can increase your profits 10 to 20% by obtaining full 
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 pro- 
tect 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 replanting. 
_ 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 boil 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%. 
In TEXAS, Ceresan-treated seeds gave increased stands over untreated 
seeds in all cases. pas 
EARLIER PLANTING—Ceresan enables you to plant earlier because it pro- 
tects the seed from decay and reduces damping-off losses and thus usually 
assures better stands, also early planting helps get ahead of the boll weevil. 
1 pound of 2% Ceresan is enough to treat 5 to 8 bushels planting cotton 
seed. Postpaid, 1 lbs., $1.40; 43/4 lbs., $3.70: 25 lbs., $16.79. .
