R. A. Pickens & Son Company, Pickens, Arkansas, 
one of the oldest and largest cotton farming opera- 
tions in Arkansas, has planted STONEVILLE cot- 
tonseed for 14 successive years. In addition to 
over 4,000 acres in cotton, the Pickens operation 
includes 1,700 acres in rice and many acres of new 
and improved pasture lands to support a large 
herd of Polled Herefords of the C.M.R. blood 
strain. The Pickens headquarters, pictured above, 
is completely modern in every respect. It includes 
a modern gin, delinting plant and storage facilities 
for the processing of high quality seed. The ultra- 
modern super market type of general store and 
offices reflect the forward-thinking and progres- 
sive attitude of the Pickens management. Large, 
modern shops are equipped to serve and repair 
all of the many types of machinery necessary to 
conduct an operation of this size. The Pickens 
operation is typical of the many large farmers 
everywhere who plant famous Stoneville cottons.
