EMPIRE WILT RESISTANT 
(State Certified) 
Empire Cotton was developed at the Geor- 
gia eriment Station in cooperation with 
the United States Department of Agriculture. 
Wilt resistance has been added through con- 
tinued breeding. There was a need for quick 
maturing, easy-to-pick cotton and Empire be- 
came popular quickly. Compared to Delta- 
pine it appears to be 10 days earlier, and 
the yield in the field is excellent. The boll 
is large, lots of five locks, making it a favor- 
ite among pickers. Staple is a good inch 
to 1 1/16 usually with even better length on 
good fertile soil with ample moisture present. 
Lint out-turn at gin 35% which is satisfactory. 
It has a compact habit of growth, plants not 
as rank as some other varieties. 
Empire started in Georgia, spread quickly 
to Alabama and the Carolinas, and is now a 
general favorite over the entire cotton belt. 
We recall one planter who has planted 4,000 
acres of Empire for last 4 years, another 
2,000 acres and so on, Empire is paying off 
for both of them every year.

Cotton growers know that poor stands reduce yields and profits, and often 
mean replanting.

You can increase profits 10 to 20% by obtaining full 
REDUCES SEED DECAY AND DAMPING-OFF—Ceresan, an organic mercury 
dry disinfectant, is applied to the cotton seed before planting. 
It helps pro- 
tect seed against decay in cold, wet soil and the young seedlings against 
damping-off or sore-shin. 
saves replanting. 
Ceresan generally insures good stands, and often 
CHECKS CERTAIN SEED-BORNE DISEASES—Ceresan also reduces the losses 
in stand caused by certain diseases carried on the surface of the seed, such 
as anthracnose or pink boil rot, and angular leaf-spot. 
IMPROVES STANDS AND YIELDS—Experiment station tests prove Ceresan 
increases stands and yields. 
In tests by ARKANSAS, Ceresan gave increased 
emergence of 34%, an increased yield of 14.5%. 
In LOUISIANA, Ceresan gave 15.8% increase in emergence in two years’ 
tests, and 187 pounds increase in yield. 
IN MISSISSIPPI tests, Ceresan increased emergence over the non-treated 
seed by 19.3% and New Improved Ceresan by 29.3%. 
In TEXA 
seeds in all cases. 
S, Ceresan-treated seeds give increased stands over untreated 
EARLIER PLANTING—Ceresan enables you to plant earlier because it pro- 
tects the seed from decay and reduces damping-off losses and thus usually 
assures better stands, also early planting helps get ahead of the boll weevil. 
a NOTE—RECOMMENDED COTTON TREATMENT: 
eep yeaa! Delinted Seed—2% Ceresan, 6 oz. 100 lbs.; Ceresan M, 3 oz.
