Sinkers 
free from all lint and external diseases, per- 
fectly graded to obtain highest germination. 
Ceresan-treated to prevent damping off. 
Kight pounds or 
an acre. Use your’ regular planter and corn 
plate. Drop four or five seeds in each hill, with 
hills 16 to 24 inches apart. Leave the plants 
as they come up—do not thin out. Sinkers Cot- 
ton Seed can be plowed 6 or 7 days after plant- 
ing, for when the seeds are planted in moist soil 
they will be up to a perfect stand in 3 to 4 
SINKERS ACID-DELINTED 
COTTONSEED 
Cotton Seed is acid-delinted, it is 
less seed required to plant 
days. Crop will be earlier by a week to 10 days under average conditions, and yield 
will be the largest possible because all of the Seeds are healthy and strong. 
SAVES TIME — SAVES LABOR — SAVES MONEY 
Improved Rowden—A very early cotton 
which usually makes before much in- 
sect damage can be done ; the boll opens 
wide and is easily picked. Lint percent- 
age runs from to 37% to 40%, with 
15/16 to 1-1/32 inch staple. The boll 
is medium large, from 60 to 70 to the 
pound. A very satisfactory type. 
Deltapine 14—There are from 70 to 80 
large bolls per pound, both four and 
five lock. Staple runs from 1 to 1-1/16 
inch; lint percentage from 38% to 
43%. 
Deltapine 15—Same type plant as 14. 
Bolls larger. Fibres stronger and more 
uniform. Lint percentage 38% to 43%. 
Superior to all prior Delta and Pine- 
land strains. Staple 1 to 1-1/8 inch. 
Stoneville 2-B—Stoneville 2-B makes 
a medium, vigorous, prolific plant with 
rather light foliage, early maturing ; 60 
to 70 bolls per pound. Staple length 
varies from 1-1/16 to 1-1/8 inches on 
bottom lands to 1 to 1-3/32 inches on 
hill land. Lint percentage from 34% 
to 38%; has a large percentage of 5 
lock bolls; easy to pick. 
Empire—Very early maturing cotton, 
wilt-resistant, with large boll and high 
turn-out. Fast coming cotton, making 
a name for itself in many areas. Staple 
31/32” to 121/382". lint percentage 
38% to 41%. 
Mebane—Is famous as a big boll vari- 
ety. Vigorous root system helps it with- 
stand hot dry weather. Staple 15/16 to 
1 inch. Lint percentage 35% to 38%. 
Easily picked. 
Hibred (Half and Half)—Early matur- 
ing. Heavy yield. Drouth resistant. 
Staple 13/16 to 14/16 inch. Lint per- 
centage 39% to 45%. 60 to 75 bolls per 
pound. 
Northern Star — A storm proof early 


cotton, large bolls. Lint percentage 
38% to 40%. Staple 15/16” to 1”. 


PEANUTS 
For medium light, loamy or sandy 
land, peanuts are one of the most prof- 
itable crops that can be grown. Often 
yield as much as fifty bushels per acre 
on land too poor to plant corn. Pro- 
duces ordinarily about a ton of excel- 
lent forage per acre in addition to the 
crop of nuts. In harvesting plow the 
peanuts and then stack against stakes 
stuck into the ground, the roots with 
the peanuts on them to the center and 
the leaves outside. 
Tennessee Long Red—Does well on 
black waxy land as well as sandy soil. 
Larger in size, with greater numbers 
of nuts than most varieties grown in 
the South. A splendid commercial va- 
riety and very productive. Use 25 to 
30 pounds to the acre. 
Spanish Peanuts—This variety grows 
compactly, making them easy to culti- 
vate. While nuts are small, they are 
sweet and of fine flavor, and contain a 
high percent of oil. ‘‘Pops,’’ so com- 
mon in larger varieties, are seldom 
found in the Spanish. The best crop in 
the South for fattening hogs, and no 
Southern farm, where stock is raised, 
should be without them. Pods usually 
contain two nuts or kernels and adhere 
well to plant when digging. Plant 30 to 
40 pounds to the acre. 
MAMMOTH 
SUNFLOWER 
Produces an enormous head, from 12 
to 20 inches in diameter. On light, well 
drained, well tilled, fertile soils yields 
from 30 to 50 bushels per acre. Plant 
and cultivate as you would corn. May 
be planted some earlier, using 5 to 10 
Ibs. per acre. As a poultry feed mixed 
with other grains it has no equal. 


“DWARF ESSEX 
RAPE 
Rape is one of the most valuable green 
feed crops. Well liked and highly nutri- 
tious for horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, 
also chickens. Plants grow to a height 
of from | to 4 feet depending on condi- 
tion of soil and climate and furnish 
surprisingly abundant grazing, produc- 
ing from 10 to 25 tons of green forage 
per acre. An acre will pasture 20 hogs 
for two months, Leaves grow very rank 
and succulent and are sweet and ten- 
der. The crop is not injured in ordi- 
nary winters in the South and will 
withstand summer heat very well. Rape 
also makes a delicious green food for 
humans, when cooked like other greens. 
Fall seeding is best, but early spring 
sowing is successful. Sow in drills, or 
WINTER 
SMALL GRAINS 
Small grains, provide a great amount 
of fresh green feed, high in protein 
content, digestible and nutritious, 
available at times of the year when 
pastures are more or less dormant. 
There is a proper place for small grains, 
for pasture, on practically every farm 
in Texas, even in areas where grain 
production is not feasible. 
OATS 
New Nortex Oats—An improved strain 
of Nortex Red Rust Resistant Oats, de- 
veloped at the Denton, Texas, Experi- 
ment Station. Recommended for both 
fall and spring planting, for all of Cen- 
tral Texas, especially the Black Land 
area. New Nortex Oats provide excel- 
lent winter pasture and, for grain pro- 
duction, the variety is a top yielder of 
heavy oats. Plant September to No- 
vember or January and February, 3 
bushels to the acre. 
RYE 
Plant September to November, 1 to 14% 
bushels per acre. 
Abruzzi Rye—Recommended for North 
and Central Texas because of its high 
yield, upright habit of growth, abun- 
dant stooling, quick readiness for graz- 
ing, and resistance to cold. 
Balboa Rye—Recommended especially 
for its upright habit of growth, coupled 
with rapidity of development for early 
pasturage. 
BARLEY 
Wintex Barley—An intermediate win- 
ter variety, developed at the Denton, 
Texas, Experiment Station. Recom- 
mended for fall planting in North and 
Central Texas. It may also be planted 
in the spring, if winter killing of fall 

seeding occurs. Wintex Barley  pro- 
vides good winter pasture and out- 
standing grain yield. Barley grain, 
when ground, is nearly equal to corn 
in feeding value. Plant September to 
November, 11% to 2 bushels per acre. 
WHEAT 
Plant September to November, 1 bushel 
to the acre. 
Austin Wheat—A variety of soft, red, 
winter wheat developed by the Texas 
Agricultural Experiment Station. High- 
ly resistant to rust, non-shattering, 
and stands well for combining. Excel- 
lent as a winter pasture and cover crop, 
and is satisfactory for milling pur- 
poses. 

Comanche Wheat—An 


improved hard, red 
winter wheat. High 
yield. Resistant to 
stinking smut and 
leaf rust. Has high 
gluten quality. 
broadeast 5 to 8 lbs. 

to the acre.
