DELTAPINE 15 
Reuter’s are now offering for the first time the new strgin of 
Deltapine Cotton, Deltapine 15. In appearance Deltapine 15 is 
very much like 14, except that the foliage has a slightly différent 
appearance and the bolls of 15 are somewhat larger. Deltapine 15 
is equally as productive as 14 and has the same high lint per- 
centage, 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 uniformity. 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 seasons 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 manu- 
facturers are informing themselves on the adaptability of different 
eottons 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 eotton must show good running qual- 
ities with low manufacturing waste. Deltapine 15 is about 7 to 8 
per cent stronger than the original 14 and is more than 12 per 
eent stronger than Deltapine 12, which we were growing in 1940 
and 1941. This great improvement in quality has been attained 
without a corresponding loss in yield per acre,
