DELTAPINE 14 
We are now offering Mississippi State Certified 
Blue Tag Deltapine 14 planting seed with the assur- 
ance that this is.the most productive and thorough- 
ly satisfactory variety yet introduced. It has proved 
more productive with a somewhat longer staple and 
a larger boll than has either Deltapine 12 or Delta- 
pine 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 
strone 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 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 av- 
erage increase of 4.8%. The average lint percent- 
age 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 Deltapine, 12 as classed by the Staple 
Cotton Cooperative Assication. A portion of the 
1941 crop of Deltapine 14 was classed as 1% but 
this is predominately 13/32 cotton. From 5% to 
10% fewer. bolls of Deltapine 14 are required to 
make a pound of seed cotton or lint that of Delta- 
pine 12.

seed in branded, sealed bags. Not prepaid: 30 lbs.
