EARLY MATURITY — 
STORM RESISTANT 
Mr. J. F. McLaurin, Bennettsville, South 
Carolina, planted a total of fifteen acres in 
D&PL-Fox Registered Cotton Seed at differ- 
ent locations and in separate blocks from his 
other varieties on his farms in 1952. Cotton 
picking was begun on August 8 and all of 
' the D&PL-Fox was open and ready for harv- 
esting by September 10. By actual weights 
more D&PL-Fox was harvested on the first 
picking than any of the other varieties. Even > 
with a hurricane and a 5%-inch rain during 
September, Mr. McLaurin states that D&PL- 
Fox stayed in the bolls exceptionally well. 
His yield on D&PL-Fox, grown under un- 
favorable conditions, was a bale to the acre. 
Mr. McLaurin is enthusiastic in his comments 
about our new variety and in 1953 he will 
plant one-half of his crop, or 400 to 500 acres, 
in D&PL-Fox Registered Cotton. 
BRYAN FARMS CHANGE TO FOX 
Mr. J. A. Crosthwait, General Manager of 
Bryan Farms, Osceola, Arkansas, reports that 
on 2,000 acres planted in D&PL-Fox Register- 
ed Cotton Seed the past season a total of 
2, 227 bales averaging 509 pounds were harv- 
ested. Cotton picking was begun on Aug- 
ust 25 and good progress in the harvesting 
was made before September 1. On one 608 
acre place he harvested 834 bales. Even 
though the rainfall was extremely short 
during the growing season his lint yield on 
this acreage was approximately 700 pounds 
per acre. Confident of Fox’s superiority by 
these results, Mr. Crosthwait will plant the 
entire cotton acreage on the Bryan Farms in 
D&PL-Fox this coming season,
