| A Great New Delta 
Delfos 9169 
i 
DELFOS 9169, the Latest of a Famous Line of Delta Cottons, 
has proven itself through ten years of extensive tests. Selected in 1939 from 
a field of Delfos 531-C, it survived exhaustive tests on our own Breeding 
Farms before being sent to Experiment Stations in the Mississippi and 
Louisiana Delta area. 
Reports issued by the Louisiana Delta Experiment Station (see table on 
back of sheet) show DELFOS 9169 to be the highest lint producing cotton 
tested at St. Joseph. 
Reports from the seven Mississippi Delta tests conducted by the Missis- 
sippi Experiment Station (see table on back of sheet) show DELFOS 9169 
second only to Stoneville 2-B in money value per acre produced. 
High production, — Length of Staple, — plus EASE OF PICKING, make 
DELFOS 9169....
