SYNOPSIS

The results 0f experiments with 227 varieties and strains 0f
cotton conducted at the Main Station, College Station, Texas,
during the 15 years, 1912 to 1926, inclusive, indicate that the
varieties, New Boykin, Mebane, Cliett, Kasch, Truitt, Lone
Star, Rowden, and Acala, are well adapted to this section of
the state. These higher-yielding varieties are characterized
by medium- to large-sized bolls; by percentages of lint rang-
ing from 33.1 to 39.7 per cent; by lint ranging in length from
15/16 to 1-1/16 inches; and by relatively early maturity.

A number of the better varieties are compared on the basis
of their yield and length of lint, and the money value per acre
is shown. These better varieties produced lint of good char-
acter and had a length which justifies a premium over short
and untenderable cotton.

The distribution of the rainfall during June, July, and
August was found to be one of the determining factors in the

yield of cotton.
Studies were made to determine what characters in cotton

have the more relation to the value of the crop. The five
characters studied were size of boll, yield of lint, length of lint,
percentage of lint, and earliness. In these correlation studies
the higher percentages of lint, larger bolls, and higher yields
of lint appeared to be associated. Increases in the length of
lint were accompanied by decreases in yield and by decreases
in the percentage of lint. Earliness did not seem to be closely
associated with any of the other characters, although the
relatively early varieties were the ones that made the high
yields.

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS
y D. T. KILLOUGH AND G. T. McNESS

iThis Bulletin reports the results of experiments with varieties of

cotton conducted at the Main Station, College Station, for the 15-year

period, 1912 to 1926, inclusive.

A large number of varieties and strains of cotton Were tested during
the earlier years of the experiments in order to determine those best
suited to conditions in this part of Texas. Many of these varieties were
dropped from the test from time to time, as the results warranted, until
at present (1926) only sixteenof the more desirable varieties are in-
cluded in the tests.

The Main Station of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station at
College Station, is located in the section known as the fiat-woods country
of east-central Texas as shown by the shaded area in Figure 2. It is 95
miles northwest ofHouston 011 the Southern Pacific and the Missouri
Pacific railroads. The elevation is 308 feet above sea level. The soil
upon which these tests were conducted is known as Lufkin fine sandy
loam, as reported in the soil survey of Brazos County, Texas. The sur-
face soil is a fine sandy loam underlaid by a highly plastic and im-
pervious drab clay, and as a consequence, the soil is not drained well.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

The average annual rainfall at the Main Station Farm, College Sta-
tion, for the fifteen years, 1912 to 1926, inclusive, was 38.77 inches. The
rainfall by months for this period is given in Table 1. The rainfall
varied from 15.50 inches in 1917, an extremely dry year, to 57.00 inches
in 1919. Approximately 20 per cent of the annual rainfall occurred
during June, July, and August, or 7.87 inches, for the 15-year period.
Rainfall in this section of the state is generally sufficient for the produc-
tion of a crop of cotton, averaging from one-third to one-half of a bale
per acre.

The average length of the growing season, or frost-free period, for
the past 21 years, 1906-1926, was 251 days. The shortest growing
season during this period was 219 days and the longest 282 days. The
average date of the last killing frost in the spring for this period was
March 12; while the average date of the first killing frost in the fall
was November 19. The latest killing frost on record in the spring
occurred on March 20 ; while the earliest killing frost ever recorded in the
fall was on October 30. These figures show that this section of Texas has
a comparatively long growing season, which permits the planting of
cotton relatively early in the spring. The lateness of the average date
of killing frost in the fall generallyrpermits even the later-maturing
varieties to ripen bolls normally and thus escape injury from frost.

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS 9

METHODS OF CONDUCTING THE VARIETY TESTS OF COTTON

The cotton in the variety tests has been planted each year 0n land
which has been rotated, so that the cotton has never been planted on
the same land two years in succession. The rotation consisted of cotton,

cowpeas, corn and oats.

The gross size of plat was 1/16 acre and consisted of seven rows 132
feet long. The first and seventh rows of each plat were discarded in
harvesting. These served as guard rows between the difierent varieties,
and tended to eliminate, as far as possible, the influence of one variety
on another in an adjacent plat. Sixteen varieties were planted on an

* acre, the net size of the plat being 1 / 22 acre, or 5 rows to the plat.

From 1912 to 1923, inclusive, the test was planted in duplicate.
Three plantings, however, were made of each variety of cotton in the
test in 1924, 1925, and 1926. The order of these plantings was changed
on the second and third acres to overcome, as far as possible, any effect
on yield due to variation in the soil of the different acres.

Preparation 0f the Seed bed! Cotton was planted on land which grew
oats the previous year. The oat stubble was plowed under soon after the
1 removal of the oat crop and the land planted to cowpeas. The cowpeas
 were allowed to mature and the entire crop was plowed under to improve
i the land. No other treatment was given the land until early spring of
 the following year whenit was disked, harrowed, and bedded in three-
{foot rows. Prior to this bedding a fertilizer consisting of two parts of
acid phosphate and one part of cottonseed meal was applied broadcast
at the rate of 300 pounds to the acre.

Plalltillgi In general, cotton was planted during the first ten days in
April if weather conditions permitted. A single-row, cell-drop, riding
planter was used in planting the cotton seed. An 18-inch sweep was
* run through the middles just ahead of the planter, which left the land
E practically free of weeds at the completion of planting. The seed were
. planted in a firm, moist, seed bed, at the rate of one bushel to the acre.
i In most cases a complete germination was secured in seven to ten days
i after planting.

Cllltivatielli The first cultivation was given the cotton soon after it
had germinated to a complete stand. A riding cultivator was used with
six-inch sweeps set fiat. The soil was thrown directly under the young
cotton plants, which helped to support them. This was one of the most
important cultivations which the cotton received and resulted in killing
‘all tender weed growth that was present at the time. Several days after
‘the first cultivation was given, when the plants had four to six leaves,
the cotton was thinned. The cotton was again cultivated immediately
following the thinning, the soil being thrown well around the plants to
prevent them from being injured by high winds and rains. Subsequent
cultivations were given as needed. When the cotton became too large
to permit the use of riding cultivators, large sweeps attached to single

10- BULLETIN NO. 369, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

stocks were used to keep the middles free from weeds and provide a
loose soil mulch.

Pickingi Commonly the first bolls of cotton opened during the first
part of August, if planted at the normal time. During the earlier years
of the variety testing, the crop was harvested in three to five pickings,
but since 1922, the pickings have been made at weekly intervals in order

that the earliness of the varieties may be determined on the basis of the

amount of cotton produced at the first three or four pickings. Picking
began when the first bolls had opened.

Information on the source of seed of each variety of cotton that has
been tested at the Main Station, College Station, for the 15-year period,
1912 to 1926, inclusive, may be obtained by reference to Table 26.

The cotton was graded and stapled by official and licensed cotton
classers of the Department of Textile Engineering, A. and M. College
of Texas.

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS BY YEARS

During the earlier years of the cotton variety testing, a large number
of varieties were planted, but since 1920 only the better-adapted varie-
ties have been included in the tests. There were two to three plats of
each variety and the average yield of these plats was taken as the yield
of a variety. This replication, together with changing the order of
planting on each of the acres, was practiced to overcome as far as possible
the effect of soil variation on yield.

There were 52 varieties tested in 1912, but only the most profitable
varieties are given in Table 2. The varieties are arranged in order of
yield of lint. The yields were exceptionally large, ranging from one to
one and one-half bales per acre. These large yields were the result

chiefly of the favorable growing season and the comparatively dry
weather in the fall, which permitted the crop t0 be harvested with
practically no loss. The five varieties which made the highest yields
of lint cotton ranked as follows: Unknown 244, Mebane, Unknown 249,
Rowden, and Virgatus. The percentage of lint of these better varieties
ranged from 35.6 to 38.6, and the yields per acre in pounds of lint

from 577 to 743.
Results in 1913

The 10 highest-yielding varieties grown in the test in 1913, which
included 69 varieties, are given in Table 3. The yields were only about
one-half as large as those in 1912, which was due in part to less favor-
able weather conditions, principally a lack of suflicient rainfall during
the early part of the growing season, and especially during July and
August. The dry weather during these two months caused an excessive
shedding of young squares, which resulted in low yields. Those varie-
ties which matured late made the lowest yields. The five highest-
yielding varieties are as follows: Mebane Triumph, Selection, Roberts
Big Boll, Crowder, and Half and Half. The yields of these varieties
ranged from 316 pounds of lint per acre for Half and Half to 391
pounds for Mebane Triumph. The percentages of lint ranged from
34.9 to 39.3.

Results in 1914

The yields of the varieties grown in 1914 were slightly below the
yields in 1913. There were 74 varieties in the test, but only the 10
highest-yielders are given in Table 4. Weather conditions during the
early spring were especially favorable to the growth of cotton, but the
lack of rainfall during June and July caused many squares and young
bolls to shed, which resulted in low yields as compared with those of
previous years. The abundant rainfall during August came in time to
permit the plants to resume normal growth and set squares and bolls.
This was largely responsible for the satisfactory yields, which for the

12 BULLETIN NO. 369, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

five highest-yielding varieties, ranged from 248 to 297 pounds of lint
per acre. These better varieties ranked in order of yield are: Roberts
Big Boll, Truitt, Crowder, Mebane Triumph, and Cook. The per-
centages of lint of these five varieties ranged from 34.6 for Cook to 39.0
for Mebane» Triumph.

Results in 1915

The 43.92 inches of rainfall during 1915 was more than five inches
above normal, but this Was very poorly distributed, 30.55 inches falling
in the months of April and August. Again the abundant rainfall in
August was largely responsible for the liberal yields, as there was no
rain in May and very little in July to keep the cotton ina good growing
condition. _

There Were 3'7 varieties grown in 1915. The 10 highest-yielders are
given in Table 5. The five most profitable varieties in the order named
were: Huffman, Cook 729, Cook 6'75, Lone Star, and Roberts. The
yields of these varieties ranged from 247 to 2'7 9 pounds of lint per acre.
The. percentages of lint of the 10 highest-yielding varieties ranged from
32.9 to 40.2. h

Results in 1916

There were 41 varieties in the test in 1916, but only the 10 highest-
yielders are given in Table 6. The total rainfall, 28.05 inches, was
more than 10 inches below the 15-year average, but over half of this
amount, 16.88 inches, fell during the months of May, June, July, and
August. The rainfall was well distributed during the growing season,
and this resulted in yields considerably above the average. The five
highest-yielding varieties were: Allen’s Express, Ferguson’s “A 711,”
Cook 925, Sunbeam, and Mebane 804. The yields of the varieties ranged
from 361 pounds of lint per acre for Mebane 804 to 406 pounds for
Allen’s Express. The percentage of lint ranged from 33.6 to 39.9 and
the length of lint from 13/16 inch to 1% inches. Allen’s Express and
Cook 925 were small-bolled varieties. In view of its high yield and
excellent staple, Allen’s Express was the most profitable variety grown

in 1916.
Results in 1917

Owing to the extreme drought, the year 1917 was quite unfavorable
for cotton production. The rainfall was only 15.50 inches, or 23.27
inches below the 15-year average. The 10 highest-yielding varieties are
shown in Table 7. The yields of these varieties ranged from 44 to 72
pounds of lint per acre, and these were the lowest yields made in any
year of the variety testing. The length of lint of many of the varieties
was shorter than in years of normal rainfall. The percentage of lint,
however, did not seem to be influenced to any appreciable extent by the
hot, dry weather, which prevailed during the growing season. The per-
centage of shedding of squares and young bolls was unusually high.
There were 49 varieties of cotton tested in 1917.

Results in 1918

There were 44 varieties tested in 1918. The 10 highest-yielding
varieties are given in Table 8. The rainfall amounted to 34.53 inches,
which was nearly normal. The yields of the better varieties, however,
were below the average for the 15-year period, ranging from 123 to 167
pounds of lint to the acre. Both the pre-season rainfall and the season
rainfall were below the average and were poorly distributed, which ac-
counts, in a large measure, for the comparatively 10w yields. The
length of lint of the varieties was shorter than in years when the rain-
fall was better distributed. The bolls were also smaller. The five
highest-yielding varieties were: Mebane Triumph, Boykin, Mebane
Triumph 183, King, and Lone Star. '

Results in 1919

The year 1919 was favorable for cotton production. Most of the
varieties yielded one-half to three-quarters of a bale to the acre. The
rainfall for the year, 57.00 inches, was the highest on record, being 18.23
inches above the 15-year average (in Table 1). The pre-season rainfall,

Results in 1920

Only 10 varieties were grown in the test in 1920, the results of which

are shown in Table 10.

Weather conditions were favorable for cotton,

the rainfall being 47.69, or nearly nine inches above the 15-year average.
It was well distributed throughout the year. The yields ranged from
315 to 476 pounds of lint to the acre, which is considerably above the
average for the 15-year period. Truitt, Belton, Acala, Durango, and
Rowden were the highest-yielding varieties in the order named.

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS 17

Results in 1921

The yields of the varieties in 1921 were considerably lower than those
of 1920, and ranged from 130 to 187 pounds of ~lint per acre, as shown
in Table 11. The rainfall was above the 15-year average but was very
poorly distributed. The pre-season rainfall was low. Cotton suffered
from lack of moisture in July and August, since the total rainfall for
both months was only 0.84 inches; while the total rainfall during April
and June amounted to 23.50 inches. The dry weather in July and
August caused excessive shedding, resulting in low yields. The five
highest-yielding varieties in the order named were: Truitt, Lone Star
5995, Mebane 804, Lone Star, 5986, and Durango.

Results in 1922

Thirteen varieties were tested in 1922 and the results are given in
Table 12. The rainfall was almost the same as that of 1921, but was
much better distributed. The yields of the better varieties were slightly
more than one-half bale per acre, which is about the average for the
eight-year period, 1919-1926, inclusive. Belton, Rowden, Lone Star,
Mebane 804, and Truitt in the order named were the highest-yielding
varieties. .

‘ * Results in 1923

Mebane 6780, New Boykin, Oliett, Mebane 804, and Truitt, were the
five highest-yielders as shown in Table 13. There was considerable
difference in the yields of the 12 varieties tested, which ranged from
187 to 324 pounds of lint per acre. The season was generally favorable
to cotton, since the rainfall was well distributed during the growing
season. The length of lint was longer for the different varieties than
in any previous year.

2O BULLETIN NO. 369; TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

Results in 1924

Sixteen varieties were grown in 1924. New Boykin, Truitt, Lone
Star, Mebane, and Belton were the highest-yielders in the order named.
The yields of the better varieties were more than one-half bale per acre,
as shown in Table 14.. While the rainfall was below the average, it was
well distributed throughout the year.

Results in 1925

Weather conditions were unfavorable for cotton in 1925. The months
of January, February, and March were unusually dry and there was just
enough moisture in the soil at planting time for germination of the seed.
Good stands were secured and the cotton grew off vigorously. The
rainfall during the remainder of the growing season, however, was not
sufficient to permit the plant to attain a normal growth, resulting in low
yields. Sixteen varieties were tested and the results are shown in Table
15. Harper made thehighest yield, following by New Boykin, Lone
Star, Lankart, and Kasch. The lint of the different varieties was not
as long as in years of greater rainfall.

Results in 1926

New Boykin led the 16 varieties tested in 1926, with a yield of 310
pounds of lint per acre as shown in Table 16. Cook 588, Acala, Startex
333, and Rowden were the nextphighest-yielders, in the order named.
‘The lowest yield, 185 pounds of lint, was made by Snowflake, a typical
long-staple variety. Weather conditions were generally favorable to

‘cotton, and the rainfall, which was more than nine inches above the

average, was well distributed throughout the season.

YIELD OF LINT

The yields of lint of the better varieties of cotton grown at the Main
Station, College Station, from 1919 to 1926, inclusive, are given in
Table 1'7. The yields of all of the varieties tested from 1912 to 1926,
inclusive, are given in Table 26, in the latter part of this Bulletin.
There was considerable variation noted in the yields of the different
varieties, especially in difierent years. In 1917, a very unfavorable
year for cotton, the highest yield was only '72 pounds of lint per acre.
In 1912, the average yield was more than a bale per acre; while in 1919
and 1920, the better varieties produced almost a bale per acre. The
average yield for the eight-year period, 1919 to 1926, inclusive, was
approximately one-half bale per acre.

For the eight-year period, 1919 to 1926, inclusive, Truitt, Belton,
Lone Star, and Mebane made the highest yields of lint, in the order
named.

During the six years, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1924, 1925, and 1926, Truitt,
Belton, Acala, Lone Star, and Kasch were the five highest-yielding
varieties.

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS 23

For the four years, 1919 to 1922, inclusive, Belton, Truitt, Lone Star
(Texas Experiment Station), Lone Star (Saunders), and Rowden made
the highest yields. ‘

During the four years, 1923 to 1926, inclusive, a period during which
a number of new varieties were tested, the five highest-yielding varieties
in the order named were New Boykin, Mebane, Cliett, Truitt, and Lone
Star. Kasch, which is one of the better varieties, was not grown in
1923, which accounts for its absence in this average.

Mebane 804. ranked first in yield of lint in the three-year average, 1921
to 1923, inclusive, the only years in which it was included in the test.
It was followed by Mebane (A. D. Mebane), Truitt, Lone Star, and
Belton.

Several new varieties were grown in the tests for the first time in 1924,
and for this reason a three-year average, 1924 to 1926, is given. In this
average the five highest-yielding varieties were New Boykin, Truitt,
Lone Star, Rowden, and Kasch.

In 1925, some additional varieties were included in the test for the
first time and the two-year average, 1925 and 1926, is therefore given.
The five highest-yielding varieties for this period in the order named
were New Boykin, Harper, Rowden, Sunshine, and Lone Star. These
varieties appear to be well adapted to this section of Texas.

These results show that, in general, the Mebane group of cottons
which includes New Boykin, Mebane, Cliett, and Kasch, along with

Truitt, Lone Star, Rowden, and Acala, are w,ell adapted to conditions A

in this part of east-central Texas.

LENGTH OF LINT

The length of lint of all varieties grown during the nine years, 1916
to 1919, and 1922 to 1926, inclusive, is given in Table 18. Ten different
averages are given so that all of the principal varieties which were grown
for more than two years might be studied on a comparable basis.

Considerable variation in the length of lint was noted in certain varie-
ties from year to year, and between varieties grown in any one year.
Some varieties produced a more uniform length of lint from year to
year than others. Bennett’s Lone Star in particular produced a uni-
form length of lint each of the four years that it appeared in the test;
while Snowflake was extremely variable in this respect.

The lint of most of the varieties was shorter in 1917 and in 1925
than in other years, owing to the dry weather which prevailed during
the growing season. In 1919 and 1923, years of abundant rainfall, and
favorable for cotton, the lint was generally longer than in the other
years, as given in Table 18.

Lint having a length of 15/16 inch to 1% inches commands a premium
when sold on the staple markets, which varies from $2.50 to $10.00 per
bale, depending on the length and character of the lint as well as the
demand for such cotton. Those varieties having lint of this length and

24 l BULLETIN NO. 369, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

which made good yields at College Station were New Boykin, Mebane,
Cliett, Kasch, Truitt, Lone Star, Rowden, Acala, and Lankart.

PERCENTAGE OF LINT

Data on the percentage of lint for all varieties of cotton tested at
College Station from 1912 to 1926, inclusive, are given in Table 19.
Ten different averages are given so that the more important varieties
which have been grown for two or more years may be compared.

The percentage of lint did not show as much variation from year to
year as did the length of lint. Neither did the percentage of lint appear
to be influenced as greatly by the fluctuating environmental conditions
as did the length of lint. - I

Kasch produced consistently a relatively high percentage of lint which
showed only a slight variation from year to year. It had average per-
centages of lint ranging from 38.3 to 39.8, in five of the averages, and had
the highest average percentage of lint of any of the varieties tested.
Cliett, Mebane, New Boykin, and Lankart ranked next in percentage of
lint in the order named. These varieties, together with Kasch, made
good yields and were relatively early-maturing.

Those varieties having a low percentage of lint (below 32 per cent)
generally produced low yields, as shown in Table 19, as in the case of
Allen’s Express, Lightning Express, and Snowflake. These varieties,
however, produced longer lint than any of the other varieties tested.
The highest-yielding varieties, however, did not in every case have the
highest percentages of lint.

SIZE OF BOLL

Data on size of boll were obtained on the different varieties grown
during the years 1916, 1918, 1925, and 1926, the results of which are
presented in Table 20.

In 1918, the bolls were smaller than in the other three years, as
weather conditions were less favorable to their development. In 1925,
another relatively dry year, the bolls were smaller than in 1916 and
1926, when growing conditions were more favorable.

Lankart and Mebane produced l_arger bolls than the other varieties.
For the two years, 1925 and 1926, 65 bolls of each of these two varieties
were required to weigh one pound. The smallest bolls were produced by
Cook 588, Allen’s Express, and Snowflake, the latter two being long-
staple varieties.

The varieties which had medium- to large-sized bolls, produced the
largest yields of lint, as may be seen by referring to Tables 2O and 17.
New Boykin, which has been one of the best-yielding varieties each year
since 1923, produced medium-sized bolls, 75 weighing one pound. The
small-bolled varieties generally produced low yields, and with the excep-
tion of Cook, they produced the longest lint and had the lowest per-
centage of lint. (Tables 18 and 19.) I

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS 31

EARLINESS

A variety of cotton to be profitable in this section of Texas should
mature its crop of bolls relatively early in order to avoid as far as
possible the injury caused by the usual dry weather in July and August
and also prevent boll-weevil injury. Both of these factors, dry weather
and boll Weevil, usually cause excessivetishedding of squares and young
bolls, which results in low yields.  

The study of earliness was baseiijon following points: (a) the
yield of lint cotton produced by the=$first' pickings, and (b) the
total number of blooms produced during t“; eason and the number
produced during the first 30 days of théibloonifiggfig period.

The earliness of a variety of cotton asgindicated by yield in this
Bulletin is considered from two points of viev;'a~.fii?sf,’,from the amount of
lint cotton produced by the first four pickings yand second, by the per-
centage of the total crop produced by the firstffourlfiickings, the latter
being a more accurate index of earliness. Pick" i‘ be riwhen the first
few bolls in a variety were opened and continued   ut the season
at approximately weekly intervals. From six to eight  pickings
were made. In studying the data on the pickings, it f’, a d that the
amount of cotton produced by the first four pickings ‘inifgrel inn to the
total amount produced, was a satisfactory basis on whieliptolldétermine
the relative earliness of the varieties.  " " 2'

Earliness as Indicated by Yield

The data obtained on earliness as indicated by yield are given in
Table 21. Considerable variation in the percentage of the total crop
produced by the first four pickings was noted among the varieties. For
the five years, 1922 to 1926, inclusive, Acala (Rogers) was the earliest
variety, producing the highest average percentage and yield of lint
cotton at the first four pickings, although it ranked fifth in total
yield. Truitt, Lone Star, Belton, and Mebane ranked next in earliness,

. in the order named. For a period of four years, 1923 to 1926, inclusive,

Acala was again the earliest-maturing variety, but ranked seventh in
total yield. The other varieties ranked in earliness as follows: Truitt,
New Boykin, Startex, and Gliett. For the three years, 1924, 1925, and
1926, Acala ranked first again, but did not produce the highest total
yield. In earliness the other varieties in this period ranked as follows:
Acala (Watson), Sunshine, New Boykin, and Truitt. Considering all
of the varieties studied during the five years, 1922 to 1926, inclusive,

the varieties ranked in the order named with respect to earliness:

Acala, Mebane 804, Sunshine, New Boykin, Truitt, and Startex. Light-
ning Express, which was tested in 1923 only, was somewhat earlier than
any of the other varieties in that year.

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS 35

Earliness as Indicated by Bloom Count

Earliness was also measured by the number of blooms opening on 100
consecutive plants of every variety of cotton grown during the years
1922, 1923, and 1926. The blooms were counted every fifth day, from
the time the first bloom appeared until the end of the blooming period.
Data on this phase of earliness are presented in Table 22.

Considerable variation is noted among the varieties in the rate of
blooming and the total number of blooms produced. The varieties
which produced the highest percentage of blooms during the first 3O
days of the blooming period did not in every case produce the largest
total number of blooms.

Lightning Express and Acala, the two earliest-maturing varieties,
produced the highest percentage of blooms during the first 30 days of
the blooming period, and also the highest percentage of total crop of
cotton produced by the first four pickings (Table 21). These two
varieties, however, did not produce the largest total number of blooms,
nor the highest yield of lint cotton. I

The results seem to indicate in most cases that those varieties which
produced the highest percentage of blooms during the first 3O days, also
produced the highest percentage of the total crop during the first four
pickings (Table 21). It would appear that the number of blooms
produced during the first 30 days of the blooming period is an indicator
of earliness, but it is not as accurate an index of earliness as the per-
centage of the total crop produced by the first four pickings. New
Boykin, Mebane, Cliett, Kasch, Truitt, and Lone Star were only medium-
early in maturing, but were the highest-yielding varieties.

AND EARLINESS

Comparisons are made in Table 23 between the yield and length of
lint, yield and percentage of lint, yield and size of boll, and yield and
earliness of 15 of the more profitable varieties grown from 1923 to
1926, inclusive. Two groups of averages were necessary to study all of
the 15 varieties on a comparable basis. One group included the four
years, 1923 to 1926, inclusive, and the other the two years, 1925 and
1926.

New Boykin was the outstanding variety in point of yield of lint,
and ranked first in both averages. It produced lint 15/16 of an inch
in length, a percentage of lint ranging from 37.7 to 38.5, a medium-
sized boll, and was relatively early in maturing. l

Snowflake had the longest lint, 1% inches. Lankart, Rowden, Sun-
shine, "Lone Star, Belton, and Acala made good yields and also produced
lint measuring 1 to 1-1 / 32 inches.

Kasch had the highest average percentage of lint, 39.7 per cent. It
was followed by Cliett, Mebane, New Boykin, and Lankart, in the order

named. These varieties produced good yields and had lint measuring
g inch to 1-1/32 inches.

Lankart and Mebane produced the largest bolls, which were of equal
size, 65 being required to Weigh one pound, in each case. Belton and
Sunshine produced bolls almost as large as those of Lankart and Mebane.
Cliett and Kasch also had relatively large bolls. Varieties having

g medium- to large-size bolls produced the largest yields of lint.

Acala was the earliest-maturing variety. It was followed in this
respect by Sunshine, Truitt, New Boykin, and Rowden, in the order
named. Varieties which were medium-early in maturity made higher
yields than those which were extremely early or extremely late in
maturity. ' ‘

The varieties of cotton listed in Table 23, with the possible exception
of Snowflake, were the more profitable varieties, and are apparently
best suited to conditions in this part of east-central Texas. These better
varieties, in addition to producing high yields of lint, produced medium-
to large-sized bolls, having a length of lint ranging from 15/16 inch to
1-1/16 inches, a percentage of lint varying from 33.1 to 39.7, and all
were relatively early in maturity.

RELATION BETWEEN YIELD, LENGTH, AND PERCENTAGE OF
LINT, SIZE OF BOLL, AND EARLINESS

The relation between yield of lint and several other characters is dis-
cussed in Table 24. The studies were made on several varieties for the
nine years, 1916 to 1919, and 1922 to 1926, inclusive. Correlation tends
to measure the degree of relationship or association existing between
two characters, the degree being expressed by an abstract decimal figure
known as the coefiicient of correlation ranging in value from zero to one.
If the coefficient has a value of 1.0 the correlation or relationship be-
tween the two characters may be said to be perfect; while if the co-
efficient is below .30 very little if any correlation exists. A correlation
figure preceded by a minus sign indicates negative relationship between
the two characters studied; while in the case of positive relationship the
sign is omitted.

In calculating (or computing) the coefficients of correlation given in
Table 24, each variety is treated as a unit for each year in which it
appears. The correlations are thus intervarietal and measure the
tendency for association between the characters as they occurred in the
diiferent varieties studied; and do not necessarily mean that the same
relationship would be found between diiferent plants all belonging to
the same variety. The relationships between characters which exist in
a variety of cotton are reported in Texas Station Bulletin No. 332,
“Biometrical Studies of Lint and Seed Characters in Cotton.” Too
much emphasis should not be placed on the significance of the correla-
tion coefficient secured from the study of the five characters, yield of
lint, length of lint, percentage of lint, size of boll, and earliness, owing
to the comparatively small number of individuals composing the popu-

lation (12 to 16 varieties) during the five-year period, 1922 to 1926,
inclusive, from which the probable errors were calculated. The correla-
tion coefficients, however, derived from the study of the varieties tested
from 1916 t0 1919, inclusive, may be considered more significant since
the population was more representative and was composed of 36 to 49*
varieties. i

Relation between yield and length of lint: The correlations between.
yield and length of lint for the nine years, 1916 to 1919 and 1922 to
1926, inclusive, as given in Table 24, ranged from .35 i .08 to
-— .63 i .10. The correlation Was negative for eight of the nine years.
In 1917, the positive correlation was probably the result of the extreme
drought which produced shorter lint and reduced the yield of the varie-
ties. With regard to the varieties studied, there appeared to be a fairly
significant negative correlation in some years, between yield of lint and
length of lint, indicating a tendency for the yield of lint to decrease as
the length of lint increases, particularly when the length becomes longer
than 1-1/16 inches, as may be seen by referring to Tables 1'7 and 18.

Relation between yield and percentage of lint: The oer-relation between.
yield and percentage of lint ranged from .06 i .19 to .81 i .03. The
relationship was positive in every case, and significant in six of the nine
years studied. These results indicate a tendency for the yield of lint
to increase as the percentage of lint increases in the case of the varieties
studied. ’

Relation between yield of lint and size of boll: Significant positive.
correlations, ranging from .51 i .08 to .57 i .11, were obtained between
yield of lint and size of boll in 1916, 1918, and 1925. There appears
to be a relation in this- case showing that those varieties which made
high yields also produced large bolls. In 1926, a negative correlation,
—- .34 i .15, was obtained, althoughit cannot be considered significant
since the value of the coefficient is less than three times that of the
probable error. '

Relation between yield and earliness: There appeared to be no eon-
sistent relationship between yield and‘ earliness, during the five-year
period, 1922 to 1926, inclusive. The varieties studied were, however, all
relatively early. The correlation coefficients ranged from — .30 i .15
to .50 i .13, and in only one year was the coefficient significant.

Relation between length andpercentage of lint: Significant negative
correlations were obtained between length and percentage of lint, indi-
cating that the length of lint decreased as the percentage of lint in-
creased. The correlation coefficients ranged from zero to-.'79 i .06.
In six of the nine years studied the coefiicients were significant. ‘

Relation between length of lint and size of boll: No definite relation

was noted between length of lint and size of boll during- the four years,
1916, 1918, 1925, and 1926, in which these characters were studied.

42 BULLETIN NO. 369, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

The coefficients varied from .01 i .10 to — .52 i .12, and in only one
of the four years studied was the coefficient significant.

Relation between length of lint and earliness: The correlation co-
efficients obtained between length of lint and earliness varied from
——.16 i .16 to .16 i .19. In none of the five years studied was the
coefficient significant, showing that in the case of the varieties studied
there was no relationship between the length of lint and earliness.

Relation between percentage of lint and size of boll: The relation be_
tween percentage of lint and size of boll was studied during the four

“years, 1916, 1918, 1925, and 1926. In each of these years significant

positive correlations were obtained, showing a rather definite tendency
for the large bolls to be associated with high percentage of lint. The
coefiicients ranged from .45 i .13 to .69 i .09.

Relation between percentage of lint and earliness: Negative correla-
tions were obtained between percentage of lint and earliness and ranged
from ——.12 i .17 to —— .81 i .06. In two of the five years, 1922 and
1925, there appeared to be a tendency for the percentage of lint to be
lower in the case of the earliest-maturing varieties. In the other three
years studied, however, the correlation coefficient was not significant.

Relation between size of boll and earliness: Correlation ooeffieientg
between size of boll and earliness were obtained in only two years, 1925
and 1926, and in both years the correlation was negative. The co-
eflicient was significant only in 1926, in which case it appeared that the
earliest-maturing varieties produced smaller bolls.

Correlation may be due to genetic or non-genetic factors, that is, the
correlation may be caused by the inherent constitution of the plants or
by environment, such as widely varying climatic conditions. An ex-
ample of the effect which climatic conditions may have on the degree of
relationship between two characters is shown in the case of yield and
length of lint in 1917, an unusually dry year unfavorable to cotton. In
this instance the yield was decreased by the dry weather; which also
prevented the lint from developing a normal length, resulting in a
positive correlation, while the other eight correlations between yield
and length of lint were all negative, as may be seen by referring to
Table 24.

COMPARATIVE VALUE PER ACRE OF VARIETIES BASED ON
YIELD AND LENGTH OF LINT

Cotton on the ordinary local market in Texas is generally bought on
the basis of the average type of cotton produced by the community.
This means that if the bulk of the cotton is short or of poor grade, or
both, the average for the community will be relatively low and prices
on this marketlwill therefore be depressed accordingly. This system
operates to place a penalty on the quality of cotton, particularly with
reference to the length of lint. The minimum length of lint for tender-

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS 43

able cotton is {r inch; while lint longer than this generally commands
a premium when sold on the central markets. .

Since the bulk of the cotton crop is sold on the local market, there is
usually not much opportunity to determine What varieties are the most
profitable based on their yield, grade, and length of lint.

The better-adapted varieties of cotton which have been tested at the
Main Station since 1922 are compared in Table 25, taking into consid-
eration their yield and length of lint. '

These varieties have been compared on the basis of middling grade.
In determining the comparative values shown in Table 25, the monthly
average prices or premiums paid for staple cotton, middling basis, on
the New Orleans market during December of each year have been used.
The price data used in arriving at these values were furnished by Dr. B.
Youngblood, Senior Agricultural Economist, Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, Washington, D. C.

The premium paid for staple cotton during the five years, 1922, 1923,
1924, 1925, and 1926, has been fairly constant for lint measuring 15/16
to 1 inch, and has ranged from $2.50 to $5.00 per bale. There has been
considerable variation, however, in the premium paid for lint of the
longer lengths, 1-1/ 16 to 1%; inches, and particularly in the case of the

latter. In 1923 an average premium of $5.00 per bale was paid during“
December for 1-1/16-inch staple, middling basis, on the New Orleans .

market; while in 1925 the premium paid for such cotton amounted to
$12.50 per bale. The premium paid for 14-inch staple, middling basis,
on the same market, during the five-year period, 1922 to 1926, inclusive,
varied from $20.00 per bale in 1923, to $40.00 per bale in 1922. This
latter premium is considerably above the average for the period, which
amounted to $28.00.

A premium for staple cotton can be secured by farmers in several
ways. Such organizations as the Farm Bureau and other cooperative
marketing agencies, offer a means of marketing cotton whereby the
farmer receives more nearly the full value of his product.

Table 25 shows the comparative value per acre of the lint cotton
produced by the 20 better varieties tested at the Main Station during
the five-year period, 1922 to 1926, inclusive. Several averages were
necessary to compare all varieties tested for two or more years. The

yield and length of lint of the varieties are given in Tables 17 and 18,

respectively. ‘ A

During the five years, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, and 1926, Mebane
(A. D. Mebane) produced lint which had the highest value per acre,
based on its yield and length of lint. It was followed by Belton, Lone
Star, Truitt, and Acala in the order named.

For the four years, 1923, 1924, 1925, and 1926, New Boykin was the
most profitable variety, followed by Mebane (A. D. Mebane), Cliett,
Lone Star, and Truitt.

During the three years, 1924, 1925, and 1926, Snowflake, which
produced lint, measuring _1-9 / 32 inches, had the highest acre value. The

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS 45

other more profitable varieties ranked in the order named, Lone Star,
New Boykin, Belton, Lankart, and Rowden.

The results in general show that those varieties which made the high-
est yields and had lint 15/16 inch to 1-1/ 16 inches in length were the
more profitable ones for this section of east-central Texas. Snowflake
is the one exception, and had the highest acre value in all three averages
in which it was included. It was not a high-yielding variety, although
it produced lint which was considerably longer than the lint of the other
varieties tested. .

VARIETIES OF COTTON TESTED AT COLLEGE STATION, 1912-1926,
INCLUSIVE

The more important varieties of cotton have been discussed previously
in this Bulletin, but a list of all varieties tested since 1912 is given in
Table 26 for information of anyone desiring a complete record of the
variety test at this Station. This list gives the yield of lint and source
of seed.

VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR EAST CENTRAL TEXAS 51

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The authors are indebted to Mr. E. B. Reynolds, Chief, Division of
Agronomy, for helpful suggestions concerning the preparation of the
manuscript and to Mr. E. C. Cushing, Assistant in Crops, for assistance
in compiling the data.

The field experiments were conducted and data collected by the follow-
ing former superintendents of the Main Station Farm: Mr. Louis
Wermelskirchen, Mr. E. W. Geyer, and Dr. G. N. Stroman.

SUMMARY

The results of the variety test of cotton at the Main Station, College
Station, during the fifteen years, 1912 to 1926, inclusive, show that in

general the varieties or strains originated from Mebane (New Boykin,

Mebane, Cliett, and Kasch), and also Truitt, Lone Star, Rowden, and
Acala are well adapted to conditions in this part of east-central Texas.

Varieties of cotton having lint about one inch in length produced the
largest average yields of lint. Considerable variation in the length of
lint was noted in certain varieties from year to year, and between
varieties grown in any one year. Bennett’s Lone Star produced a uni—
form length of lint each of the four years that it appeared in the
test; while Snowflake was extremely variable in this respect.

The percentage of lint did not show as much variation from year to
year as did the length of lint. Neither did the percentage of lint
appear to be influenced as greatly by the fluctuating environmental con-
ditions as did the length of lint. Kasch produced the highest average
percentage of lint, followed by Cliett, Mebane, New Boykin, and Lankart.

Lankart and Mebane produced the largest average size of boll, 65 bolls
of each of these two varieties being required to weigh one pound. New
Boykin, which has been one of the best-yielding varieties tested since
1923, produced medium-sized bolls, 75 weighing one pound. Varieties
which had medium- to large-sized bolls produced the largest‘ yields.

The percentage o1": the total crop produced by the first four weekly
pickings, as considered in this Bulletin, was used as an indicator of
earliness. The number of blooms produced during the. first 30 days of
the blooming period, is also an indicator of earliness, but it is not as
accurate an indicator of earliness as the percentage of the total crop
produced by the first four weekly pickings. The earliest-maturing varie-
ties did not in every case make the highest yield; although, in general,
the better-yielding varieties were relatively early in maturity. Acala and
Lightning Express were the two earliest-maturing varieties tested, al-
though all the varieties studied are comparatively early.

A study was made of the money value of the better varieties tested
since 1922, based on their yield and length of lint. The average prices

y paid on the New Orleans market during December of each year for lint

longer than g inch, were used in determining the total acre value of these

varieties. For the five-year period, 1922 to 1926, inclusive, Mebane pro-
duced lint which had the highest comparative value per acre, $57.03.
It was followed by Belton, Lone Star, Truitt, and Acala in the order
named. New Boykin, which was tested for the first time in 1923, had
the highest acre-value during the four-year period, 1923 to 1926, in-
clusive. Snowflake, which produced lint measuring 1;} inches, had the
highest comparative value per acre in all three of the averages in which
it was included.

Negative correlations were obtained among the varieties studied, be- A

tween yield and length of lint; length and percentage of lint; and per-
centage of lint and earliness. There appears to be a tendency in some
years for the yield of lint to decrease as the length increases; for the
percentage of lint to decrease as the length of lint increases; and for the

A percentage of lint to become lower as maturity becomes earlier. Positive
correlations were obtained between yield and percentage of lint; between

yield and size of boll; and between percentage of lint and size of boll.
There seems to be a relationship between these characters, indicating that
as the yield increases the percentage of lint also increases; that an in-
crease in yield is also accompanied by an increase in the size of boll;
and that a high percentage of lint is associated with relatively large
bolls. No consistent relationship was observed between the characters,

yield and earliness; length of lint and size of boll; length of lint and
l earliness; and size of boll and earliness. ‘

The results show that the varieties of cotton which were the most
profitable were characterized by high yields of lint, medium- to large-
sized bolls, relatively high percentages of lint, having length varying
from 15/16 to 1-1/16 inches, and relatively early maturity.
