DELTAPINE 15 
Reuter’s are now offering for the first time the 
new strain of Deltapine Cotton, Deltapine 15. In 
appearance Deltapine 15 is very much-like 14, ex- 
cept that the foliage has a slightly different ap- 
pearance and the bolls of 15 are somewhat larger. 
Deltapine 15-is equally as productive as 14 and has 
the same high lint percentage, or gin turnout, 
which has distinguished the Deltapine variety in 
the past. The length of the staple is the same, but 
the new strain has somewhat greater length uni; 
formity. It also has. stronger fiber;. these two 
qualities account for the fact that 15 has definitely 
better spinning quality than any of the Deltapines 
that have previously been developed. For four sea- 
sons spinning. tests have been made to compare the 
spinning’ quality of this new strain with other 
Deltapine stocks and in each case 15 has proved 
superior, 
The cotton industry has now reached the stage 
in which manufacturers are informing themselves 
on the adaptability of different cottons for their 
particular purposes. Not only must a cotton yield 
well, but it must consistently pick out in relatively 
good grades and, when spun into yarn, this must 
have good strength and good appearance. The cot- 
ton must show good running qualities with low 
manufacturing waste. Deltapine 15 is about 7 to 8 
per cent stronger than the original 14 and is more 
than 12 per cent stronger than Deltapine 12, which 
we were growing in 1940 and 1941. This great im- 
provement in quality has been attained without a 
corresponding loss in yield per acre.
