Mr. Pillar has his entire place in Delfos 9169 
cotton. ‘‘Delfos 9169 stays at least one staple 
ahead of other cotton. I like it because it 
simply makes more cotton for me.” 
exas grower has 
high praise for Delfos 9169 
- Roy Smith, owner of Roy Smith Farms near 
Corpus Christi, Texas, likes a lot of things 
about Delfos 9169. He says its staple length 
is very fine and that its light foliage and 
early maturity help get ahead of the Pink Boll 
Worm. ‘For picking with machine, I do not 
think one can beat Delfos, especially with my 
A. C. Picker. Year in and year out, you can’t 
beat Delfos Cotton—wet years or dry years.” 
Delfos 9169 came out on top in the 1952 Mississippi 
5-Acre Cotton Contest. Winner was Harris Swayze, 
Benton, Mississippi. Mr. Swayze has been planting 
Delfos 9169 since 1936 and now has 800 acres in 
this cotton. He estimates that on this year’s crop 
he will pick well over a bale to the acre. “I like 
Delfos because of its staple and its easy picking,” 
Mr. Swayze says. “It stays in the boll better too.”

LOYAL TO DELFOS 9169 COTTON 
J. W. Stowers, Inverness, Mississippi planter, is a loyal booster for 
Delfos 9169 cotton. “ I have been planting Delfos cotton for fifteen

I pick earlier than my neighbors and Delfos consistently makes more 
cotton per acre.” Mr. Stowers is pictured at left playing with his son’s

Speaks Out For Delfos 9169 
Here is part of a letter from John C. Terral, 
owner of Farmers Seed and Feed Company, 
Lake Providence, Louisiana: 
“It looks like another good year here for 
Delfos 9169 cotton. We have been selling this 
cotton since 1947 and it has consistently been 
our highest yielder. It seems to be our best 
cotton for mechanical pickers and is also a 
favorite with hand pickers. The cotton buyers 
like to buy it because of its extra staple.
