Varieties 0f cotton having high percentages 0f lint with a staple of 7/8 t0 1 inch made the highest yields 0f lint and were the more profitable varieties tested at Substation N0. 5, Temple, in the Blackland region of Central Texas out of a large number of varieties and strains of cotton tested dur- ing the 16 years, 1912 to 1927. The results obtained from 1912 to 1914, inclusive, were published in Bulletin No. 215. The results secured from 1915 to 1927, inclusive, together with those of previous years, are brought together and pub- lished in this Bulletin, and are probably applicable to the greater part of the Blackland Prairie Regions of the entire State. Kasch produced slightly higher yields than the other varie- ties tested, although the yields of Qualla, New Boykin, and Harper were not significantly lower than Kasch. These four varieties have somewhat similar characteristics representa- tive of the Mebane Triumph type of cotton. They produce lint 7/8 to 1 inch in length, have a medium- to large-sized boll, and are high in percentage of lint, ranging from 37 to 40 per cent, and are relatively early in maturing. The money value per acre of a number of the varieties was computed on the basis of yield of lint, length of lint, and the prices paid on the central market. On this basis, Kasch had the highest acre value, $45.36, as compared with $43.88 for Qualla, $42.32 for New Boykin, and $42.23 for Harper. The money value per acre of Acala, Anton, Mebane, Sunshine, Truitt, Lankart, and Lone Star was for each in the order named slightly lower than Harper, ranging from $41.60 for Acala to $37.92 for Lone Star.

REA Varieties of cotton have been tested at Substation No. 5, Texas Agri- cultural Experiment Station, Temple, Texas, since 1912, the first crop year after the station was established. The results of the variety tests for three years, 1912, 1913, and 1914, were published in Bulletin No. 215. These results, together with those secured since 1914, are brought together and are being published in this Bulletin, which brings the re- sults of the variety tests of cotton up to 1927, inclusive. Substation No. 5, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, is located at Temple, Bell County, Texas,* near the center from north to south of the Blackland region of the State. The Substation is approximately 125 miles south of Dallas and 140 miles northeast of San Antonio, and is accessible to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas and the Santa Fe rail- roads. The elevation is 740 feet above sea level. The Blackland region extends from a point west of San Antonio in a narrow belt, the width of which increases northward, through Austin, Waco, Dallas and Sher- man, to as far east as Clarksville, in Red River County, Texas. In gen- eral, the topography of the region is undulating, gently rolling, or even hilly in places. The surface drainage is good to excessive and, in some places, serious washing" of the soil has resulted. The Houston series of soils, principally the Houston black clay and Houston clay, are the main soil types of the Blackland region. The Houston soils are black in color and high in content of lime. The parent material from which these soils were formed consisted of white chalky limestone or yellow marl. When these soils are wet they are very sticky and plastic, but in the dry condition they granulate and break down to good tilth. Even when the soil is plowed slightly Wet, the re- sulting clods crumble at the first rain. Since these soils are sticky and plastic when Wet, they are sometimes called black waxy soils and the region the black waxy belt. The Houston and associated soils are nat- urally productive, and the Blackland belt in general has been noted for its high yields of good-quality cotton. They are devoted mostly to the production of cotton, although other crops may be grown profitably. The tests with varieties of cotton at Temple were conducted on Bell *The Work reported in this Bulletin was conducted on the first site of the Station about midway between Temple and Belton. The Station was moved at the close of 1927 to a new site two miles south of Temple, where a large area of typical Houston clay soil is available for experiments. These variety tests are being continued on a larger scale at the new location. 6 BULLETIN NO. 399, TEXAS AGRlCULTURALvEXPERlMENT STATION (previously correlated and mapped, Simmons clay) and Trinity clay soils, which are the alluvial soils most commonly associated with the "i Houston soils. In all except three years the variety tests were on Bell clay, which in many respects is similar to the Houston black clay, al- though it is less plastic and somewhat lighter in color. Trinity clay is an alluvial soil comparatively free of root rot. The Bell and Houston soils are both favorable for the development of cotton root rot, and it was because of heavy losses from this disease that the Trinity clay soil was used, since root rot is less generally prevalent on this soil. The soils on the Station are interspersed among and are generally found in close association with the Houston soils. The results of these variety tests are, therefore, probably more nearly applicable to the Houston soils and to the entire Blackland prairie region, including some interior minor blacklands in South Texas, aggregating some 11,000,000 acres, than any other tests conducted. WEATHER CONDITIONS The rainfall in the Blackland region is of the humid type, ranging I from 48 inches average annual precipitation at Clarksville in the north- eastern part to about 27 inches at San Antonio in the southwestern part. "Thus in the southwestern section subhumid conditions are closely ap- proached. The figures in the following table were taken from the. records of the United States Weather Bureau, “Climatological Data: Texas Section,” and show the rainfall at several points in the Blackland region.

The average annual rainfall for this period was 36.52 inches. The rainfall varied from 20.75 inches in 1917, an exception- ally dry year, to 50.73 inches in 1913. Approximately 18 per cent, or 6.62 inches, of the annual rainfall occurred during June, July, and August for the fifteen-year period. Rainfall in this section of the State is generally sufiicient to produce one-half bale of cotton to the acre on the average. p .uu\l..m.. r VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR THE BLACKLANDS OF CENTRAL TEXAS 7 The average length of the frost-free period, for the last fourteen years, 1914 to 1927, inclusive, was 220 days. The shortest frost-free period fora given year was 190 days, which was in 1913, and the long- est, 264 days, which was in 1922. The average date of the last killing frost in the spring was March 30, while the average date of the first killing frost in the fall was November 5. The latest killing frost on record in the spring occurred on April 18, while the earliest killing frost in the fall was October 9.

At the time of insti- tuting the tests few varieties had been tried by farmers of the Blackland region and little was known of the relative merits of those generally grown. Some varieties grown extensively in other cotton-producing "areas had not been introduced in this section. The variety work was undertaken to measure the relative merit of the various varieties of cotton available and to discover the type best adapted. v The varieties tested for two or more years are listed in Table 19; This table shows the average yield of each variety for each year tested, and that there were three periods during each of which a different group of varieties was introduced into the test. Many varieties were used in the earlier years. Prior to 1919 numerous varieties from other States" were included in the tests. From 1912 to 1915, inclusive, a group of 50 varieties obtained from other States was tested. After the 1915 crop season, 24 of these varieties were discarded as not being adapted to the conditions, while 26 varieties were retained for further trial. 8 BULLETIN NO. 399, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION From 1916 to 1919 another group, comprising 6 varieties, also obtained from other States, was added to the test, but all of these were discarded at the end of the 1919 crop season. The varieties tested from 1920 to 1924, inclusive, were all of Texas origin and for the most part were grown during the previous periods and also appeared in later plantings. In general, these are now considered standard varieties and can be used as a measuring stick for other varieties within their class. During the last three years, 1925-27, inclusive, several new strains, which have been developed as selections from the standard varieties, have been tested. The seed of each variety tested were secured direct from the breeder or grower each year. Information on the source of seed of the varieties tested may be obtained by referring to Table 31. Preparation 0f Seed Bed: In general, the land utilized for variety tests had been under a crop rotation in which the previous crop was fibrous-rooted and matured early, permitting either summer or early-fall soil preparation. In years when the test followed small grain, the land was plowed first during June or July to a depth of 4 or 5 inches, with a fiat-breaking plow, and again in October or November to a depth of 6 inches. When the cotton followed corn, grain sorghum, or hay crops, the land was plowed once to a depth of 6 inches, as early in the fall as the current crop could be removed. This plowing usually came in Oc- tober. Following fiat breaking, the land was disked or harrowed as frequently as required to keep it free from vegetation and in good tilth. Early in the spring, prior to planting cotton, the land was laid off in low beds three feet apart. No commercial fertilizer or barnyard manure was used. Plantillgi In general, cotton was planted on a low bed about the middle of April, if weather conditions permitted. A single-row, cell- drop, riding planter was used in planting the cotton seed, except in 1925, 1926, and 1927, when the cotton was planted by hand in hills 18 inches apart. An 18-inch sweep was run through the middle between the rows prior to planting, which left the land practically free of weeds at the completion of planting. The seeds were planted in a firm, moist seed bed at the rate of one bushel to the acre. In most cases a complete ger- mination of the seed was secured in seven to ten days after planting. The s1ze of the plat most frequently used in conducting the variety test was one-sixteenth of an acre, consisting of seven rows three feet wide and 132 feet long. The first and seventh rows of each plat ‘vore used as guard- or border-rows and were discarded in harvesting. These guard-rows were used to eliminate, as far as possible, the influence of one variety on another in adjacent plats. The cotton in the variety test was planted in duplicate, except in 1927, when it was planted in triplicate. The order of planting the varieties was changed on the second acre to overcome, as far as possible, any effect on yield due to variation in the soil or root rot infection. VARIETIESAOF COTTON FOR THE BLACKLANDS OF CENTRAL TEXAS 9 Cllltivativn! The first cultivation was given the cotton soon after a complete stand was obtained. A riding cultivator was used, with six- inch sweeps set flat. 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 the killing of all tender weed growth that was present at the time. Several days after the first cultivation was given, and 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 winds and rain. Sub- sequent cultivations were given as needed. When the cotton became too large to permit the use of riding cultivators, large sweeps attached to sir.gle stocks were used to keep the middlefree from weeds and to pro- ‘vide a loose soil mulch. Pidiillgi Usually the first bolls of cotton opened during the first part of August, if the crop was planted at the normal time. The crop was harvested in three to five pickings, depending on weather conditions. During the earlier years of the cotton variety tests, pickings were made at intervals of two weeks, but in 1922 and 1923 the pickings were made at weekly intervals. Rewrds Qbtainedr Records were obtained on a uniform basis for yield of seed cotton, yield of lint, and percentage of lint, throughout the entire period of the test. Beginning with 1916, observations on a com- parable basis were also made on size of boll, earlines_s, and length of staple. Yields of seed cotton and lint were reported in pounds per acre and the ratio of lint to seed cotton in percentage. The size of boll was given in the number of bolls per pound, and earliness as the percentage of the total crop produced at the first picking. The l.ength of lint is reported in inches or fractions of an inch and was determined by official and licensed cotton classers of the Department of Textile Engineering of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. During recent years more records were made of the extent of damage due to cotton root rot. Previously these records were not consistently made and they are of little value in studying varieties, but it is known that the lack of uniform infection from plat to plat might influence the rating of any varieties for individual years. CLASSIFICATION OF VARIETIES The term “variety” as used in this Bulletin is synonymous with “trade name” and is not intended to imply that each cotton reported on is a separate and distinct type possessing measurable differences. Fresh seed for planting the variety tests is received from the individ- ual breeders or growers each year and given separate Texas Station numbers. The application sheet bearing this oflicial number also shows 1O BULLETIN NO. 399, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION the name assigned by the breeder and all the available history of the ~. lot of seed. Some of the so-called varieties now being sold are really strains which have been selected for certain characteristics from a few recog= nized standard types. It is not possible in every case to classify each variety as t0 type since the complete history and origin of every variety is not known. However, the following table shows in a general way the relationship of several of the varieties and strains commonly grown. Table 2.——Classification of some varieties of cotton.

The varieties are arranged in order of yield of lint. The yields of the different varieties ranged from approximately one-fourth to three-fourths of a bale per acre. The five highest-yielding varieties in the order named were Unknown 246, Uncle Sam 248, Station 134, Lone Star, and Selection No. 1. Results in 1913 Weather conditions in 1913 were unusually favorable for cotton, which resulted. in yields considerably above the average. The better varieties made a yield of nearly a bale to the acre. The rainfall was well dis- tributed throughout the year and was the highest on record (50.73 inches). There were 96 varieties and strains tested in 1913, as shown in Table 4. Union Big Boll, Lone Star, Mortgage Lifter 152, Virgatus, and Mortgage Lifter 132, made the highest yields, in the order named. VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR THE BLACKLANDS OF CENTRAL TEXAS 11 Results in 1914 Sixty-six varieties and strains of cotton were tested in 1914, the re- sults of which are given in Table 5. Weather conditions were favorable for cotton and the yields of the better varieties were more than one-half bale per acre. The rainfall Was well distributed during the growing season, and the total for the year (45.04 inches) was 8.52 inches above the 15-year average. The five highest-yielding varieties were Columbia, Huffman, Truitt, Robert’s Big Boll, and Mebane Triumph. Results in 1915 Forty-four varieties were grown in the test in 1915, and the results are given in Table 6. The five highest-yielding varieties, in the order named, were Cook A-675, Mebane Triumph, Cook 729, Rublee, and Cleveland 433. The rainfall was slightly below the 15-year average, although it was well distributed during the growing season. The yields were about as large as those of 1914, averaging slightly more than one- half bale per acre for the better varieties. Results in 1916 ‘ Rainfall during 1916 (25.36 inches) was 11.16 inches below the aver- age for the 15-year period, 1913 to 1927, inclusive. Yields considerably above the average were secured, however, due largely to the favorable distribution of the rainfall from April until September. There were 39 varieties and strains of cotton in the variety test in 1916, as shown in Table '7. Ferguson’s A-711, Willis No. 2, Cook 924, Mebane Tri- umph, and Lone Star, made the largest yields. The yields of these varieties ranged from 440 to 354 pounds of lint per acre. Results in 1917 lilorty-four varieties were grown in the test in 1917, as shown in Table 8. The rainfall was only 20.7 5 inches, the lowest for the -15'-year period, 1.913 to 1927, inclusive. The pre-season rainfall was low, al- though the seasonal rainfall, April to September, was ample and un- usually well distributed. Satisfactory yields were secured, however, the better varieties averaging about one-half bale per acre. Harvell, Kasch, Ferguson Round Nose, Mebane Triumph 406, and Chisholm were the best-yielding varieties. Results in 1918 The yiields in 1918 were the lowest obtained during the 16-year i period, except 1925. The yields ranged from 66 to 144 pounds of lint per acre for the 44 varieties tested, as shown in Table 9. The rainfall ' (29.36 inches) was 7.16 inches below the 15-year average and was poorly ‘ distributed during the growing season. There was practically no ef- fective rainfall. during July and August, as shown in Table 1, and almost half of the rainfall occurred in the late fall after the cotton had been harvested. The five most profitable varieties tested in 1918, in the order 12 BULLETIN NO. 899, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION named, were Acala, Mebane, Improved Champion, F. G. 33, and Mebane Triumph. Results in 1919 Weather conditions were favorable for cotton in 1919. The rainfall (47.45 inches) was 10.93 inches above the 15-year average and was Well distributed during the growing season. The rainfall during June, July and August was 13.89 inches, which was the highest total rainfall for these three months during the fifteen years, except in 1920, when it was 17.13 inches. The yields of the better varieties ranged from one-half to almost three-fourths of a bale per acre. Forty-three varieties and strains of cotton were tested in 1919, as given in Table 10. Holdon, Harvell, Belton, Kasch, and Lone Star, in the order named, were the five highest-yielding varieties. Results in 1920 Only eight varieties were tested in 1920. Weather conditions were favorable for cotton, resulting in yields ranging from 431 to 569 pounds of lint per acre. Rainfall in June, July and August was the highest recorded for these months during the 15-year period and amounted to 17.13 inches. The rainfall (44.73 inches) was well distributed. Me- bane made the highest yield and was followed by Kasch, Belton, Lone Star, and Bennett’s Lone Star, as shown in Table 11. Results in 1921 The yields of the varieties in 1921 were considerably lower than those of‘ 1920, and ranged from 132 to 194 pounds of lint per acre, as shown in Table 12. The rainfall (40.75 inches) was 4.23 inches above the average, but was not so well distributed during the growing season as that of 1920, as shown in Table 1. Approximately one-third of the rainfall occurred during the month of September, which came too late to benefit the crop to any appreciable extent. The lack of suflicient rainfall in August caused excessive shedding of blooms and young bolls, ‘resulting in lower yields than those of the previous year. Ten varieties were grown in 1921. The five highest-yielding varieties, in the order named, were Kasch, Lone Star (5995), Rowden, Lone Star (5986), and Durango. Results in 1922 Thirteen varieties were grown in the test in 1922. The yields of the varieties ranged from 179 pounds of lint per acre for Snowflake to 370 pounds per acre for Kasch (Table 13). The pre-season rainfall, J anu- ary to April, inclusive, amounted to 19.78 inches, which was approxi- mately 57 per cent of the rainfall for the year. The rainfall during the latter part of the growing season was rather light, although the crop did not at any time appear to suffer for the lack of moisture. Kasch again made the highest yield and was followed by Mebane (6563), Ben- nett’s Lone Star, Lone Star (6565), and Truitt. VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR THE BLACKLANDS OF CENTRAL TEXAS 13 Results in 1923 The yields in 1923 were the largest obtained during the 16 years, 1912 to 1927, inclusive, and averaged considerably more than a bale per acre for the better varieties. These unusually large yields were the re- sult of an optimum amount and favorable distribution of rainfall (43.53 inches) during the year. Thirteen varieties were included in the test in 1923, and the results are given in Table 14. New Boykin led the varieties with a yield of 700 pounds of lint per acre. The next highest- yielding varieties, in the order named, were Belton, Buckelew Big Boll, Cliett Superior, and Truitt. Results in 1924 New Boykin again led the varieties in yield in 1924. It was followed by Lone Star, Kasch, Lankart, and Sunshine. Thirteen varieties were grown in the test, and the results are given in Table 15. The yields ranged from 269 pounds of lint per acre for Snowflake to 414 pounds per acre for New Boykin. While the rainfall (27.59 inches) was con- siderably below the average, it was well distributed and good yields were secured. Results in 1925 Weather conditions during 1925 were unfavorable for cotton. The rainfall was only 22.67 inches, which was 13.85 inches below the 15-year average. Over half of the rainfall occurred during the late fall, which was of little benefit to the crop. The pre-season, as well as the seasonal rainfall, was light, resulting in low yields, ranging from '79 pounds of lint per acre for Snowflake to 148 pounds per acre for Kasch. Sixteen varieties were grown in 1925, as shown in Table 16. Kasch was the highest-yielding variety and was followed by Cliett, Mebane, Qualla, and Lankart, in the order named. Results in 1926 Seventeen varieties were tested in 1926, and the results are given in Table 17. Weather conditions were favorable for the production of cotton, and resulted in yields considerably above the average, ranging from 345 pounds of lint per acre to 519 pounds. The rainfall (41.11 inches) was 4.59 inches above the 15-year average. It was well dis- tributed throughout the year and especially during the growing season, and at no time did the crop appear to suffer from lack of moisture. The five highest-yielding varieties tested in 1926, in the order named, were Qualla, Kasch, Sunshine, Harper, and New Boykin. Results in 1927 The yields of the 19 varieties tested in 1927 were below the average and ranged from 151 pounds of lint per acre for Rowden to 204 pounds per acre for Kasch, as shown in Table 18. The rainfall (39.53 inches) was slightly above the average, but this Was not well distributed, especially 14 BULLETIN NO. 399, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION during the growing season. The deficiency of rainfall during July and 4 August caused excessive shedding, resulting in low yields. Kasch made the highest yield and was followed closely by New Boykin, Buckner, S Truitt, and Anton. " Table 3.—Varieties of cotton tested in 1912. _ Date, Circumfer- Acre yield, pounds T. S.

Only 19 of these varieties were included in the tests for two 0r more years after 1919. The greater number of this rather exhaustive list of cottons were investigated during the earlier years. Many varieties were grown only one season and, since the performance of a variety for any single year seldom affords information from which a rating can be made, no attempt has been made to classify these varieties. However, the in- feriority of some of the varieties dropped after one year’s trial was readily evident. Detailed and complete records were obtained for 102 varieties and strains. All of these were grown two or more years, al- though the entire list was not under test during any one season. Certain groups of varieties were tested during the same years and these afford comparable records for comparisons between members of the same group. A few varieties were grown every year throughout the entire period and ' may be utilized as standards through which other varieties may be studied. Since a direct comparison of an individual variety with each of the others is not possible, due to lack of comparable data, a compari- son through a common base is advisable. In making the initial classi- fication of this long list of varieties, such a method has been used and the results are presented in Table 19. Methods Used in Rating the Varieties on the Basis of Yield of Lint In using such a method, the selection of the base is very important. Upon inspection of the year-by-year tables in the earlier part of this Bulletin, it will be found that Mebane, Lone Star, and Rowden from one 25 VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR THE BLACKLANDS OE CENTRAL TEXAS NN N . . . .... .. . .

It Will be seen that Kasch on the average yielded 127 pounds of lint cotton for each 100 pounds produced by Cliett Superior, a variety grown under comparable conditions during the years of 1925, 192s, and 1927. In the last column of Table 21 it is seen that Kasch was superior to all the other 10 varieties. Qualla was excelled only by Kasch. Eight varieties were equaled or excelled by New Boykin; seven by Harper; six by Anton; four by Lankart; two by Lone Star; and two by Truitt. " Mebane was better than Cliett Superior only, and Gliett Superior was the lowest-yielding variety of the eleven. In the table, Cliett Superior is shown to have made a higher average yield than Lone Star for the period of years in which these two varieties were compared, but a single high yield by Cliett Superior in 1923 obviously produced this apparent variation from the ratings produced by the basal comparisons and, fur- thermore, it is noticeable that in two other sets of comparisons Oliett Superior was excelled by Truitt and Mebane, which were in turn ex- celled by Lone Star. Unfortunately, the old varieties cannot be included in these more refined classifications because data for comparable years are not avail- able. Of the old varieties that yielded as good or better than the base varieties, it can only be said that their elimination from the tests was not justified on the basis of yield of lint cotton per acre and where seed is available they should be retested. EARLINESS OF MATURITY Earliness is based on the percentage of the total crop harvested at the first picking. Data on the earliness of the varieties tested from 1916 to 1927, inclusive, are presented in Tables 22 and 23. 32 BULLETIN NO. 399, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION . . . . . . . . . . . . . .235? éafluonm $5.5m wiwoohm woww 355. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - - . . . v .ww .0 um ...:.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...-......w_NNQF _m§:~m TOO fizfih? . . . . . . . . . . . . . awxok QwmEMQE .60 Q aomfiiwfi S» A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . afinfi.

Truitt was the earliest-maturing variety tested for the four years, 1924 to 1927, and also during the three years, 1924 to 1926. Kasch ranked second in earliness during this time. Truitt tied with Anton for first place for the three years, 1925 to 1927. Kasch and Qualla, which tied for second place in earliness during the three years, 1925 to 1927, were almost as early as Truitt and Anton. Sunshine, Acala, Harper, Cliett Superior, Lankart, and New Boykin are also relatively early-maturing varieties. ' Those varieties which mature their crops of cotton early have gener- ally been the most profitable ones for the Blackland section of Central Texas. PERCENTAGE OF LINT Data on the percentage of lint or gin turn-out of the varieties tested from 1916 to 1927 are given in Tables 24 and 25. The percentage of lint was somewhat variable from year to year in the case of some of the varieties, while in others it was comparatively stable. Bennett’s Lone Star, Cliett Superior, and Harper were quite uniform from year to year in percentage of lint. Kasch had the highest average percentage of lint, 39.0, for the eight years, 1919 to 1922 and 1924 to 1927; and was second during the four years, 1924 to 1927, and during the three years, 1924 to 1926. Lankart had the highest average percentage of lint for the four years, 1924 to 1927, which Was 39.5 per cent; and for the three years, 1924 to 1926, which was 40.4 per cent. This variety also ranked third in per- centage of lint in the three-year average, 1925 to 1927.

LENGTH OF LINT The length of lint of all varieties groxvn during the 12 years, 1916 to 1927, inclusive, is given in Tables 26 and 27. Cliett Superior, Harper, Lone Star, and Qualla showed less variation All of these varieties produced relatively large bolls, which 3 5 in the length of lint from year to year than the other varieties tested. Snowflake produced the longest lint, averaging 1 5/32 inches, which was also the most variable in length from year to year, ranging from 1% inches in 1925, an exceptionally dry year, to 1 7/16 inches in 1919, a favorable year for cotton production. The length of lint of most of the varieties tested was g inch and longer, the lint being tenderable on future contracts and of good char- acter. The higher-yielding varieties produced lint from s to 1 inch in length and were the more profitable varieties for the region. Belton and Rowden produced lint averaging 1 inch in length for the eight years, 1919 to 1927, exclusive of 1923. Kasch and Mebane for this period produced lint 29/32 and 15/ 16 inch, respectively. For the four years, 1924 to 1927, Acala produced the longest lint, 1. 3/32 inches. The lint of Kasch and New Boykin measured 15/16- inch for this period, while the other varieties, except Belton and Acala, produced lint 31/32 inch. Uliett Superior and Qualla each produced lint averaging 1 inch in length for the three years, 1925 to 1927. With the exception of Kasch and Acala, the other varieties grown during the three years produced lint 31/ 32 inch in length.

Difier- ences in weather conditions caused considerable variation in the size of boll among the varieties in some years. For instance, in 1925, an ex- tremely dry and unfavorable year for cotton, the bolls Were much smaller than those produced in years when the rainfall was ample and growing conditions generally favorable for cotton. Lankart produced on the average the largest bolls, 65 being required to weigh one pound of seed cotton. It was followed by Belton, Kasch, Mebane, and Gliett Superior, in the order named. Qualla, Harper, Anton, Sunshine, and Rowden produced medium—to-large-sized bolls, 7'7 to 79 being required to make a pound of seed cotton. Snowflake had the smallest bolls, 105 to the pound, which, owing to their small size, were hard to pick. COMPARATIVE VALUE PER ACRE OF VARIETIES BASED ON YIELD OF LINT AND LENGTH OF LINT Cotton is generally bought on the typical local market in Texas on the basis of the average type produced by the community, which means that if the bulk of the cotton is short or poor grade, or both, the aver- age for the community will be relatively low and prices on the market will, therefore, be depressed accordingly. Under such a system of “hoground” buying, quality cotton, particularly of the longer lengths, does not bring the price merited, while short cotton, much of which is untenderable on the future contracts, brings more than it is really v-'orth.* Farmers may secure a premium, however, for producing a ‘Bulletin No. 383, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. \ 38 BULLETIN NO. 899, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION better quality of cotton by selling in quantity lots of even-running grade and staple, either through their broker on the central markets’ or through co-op-erative marketing agencies, in which case cotton hav-5 ing a definite length is assembled in pools and tendered to the millsil 1n quantity lots of 100 bales or more. A survey made recently by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of f the United States Department of Agriculture,“ showed that of all f lengths of cotton consumed by the American mills the strongest demand 1s for cotton % to 1 1/ 16 inches, middling to strict middling.

The better varieties of cotton which have been tested at Substation No. 5, Temple, for three years or more during the six years, 1922 t0- 1927, inclusive, are compared in Table 30, taking into consideration yield and length of lint. These varieties have been compared on the basis of middling grade. In determining the comparative values shown in Table 30, the monthly average price or premium paid for staple inch while lint longer than this generally commands a premium when sold ’ The ordinary local markets do not aiiord a - r dependable index for comparison of varieties as to their value based upon ‘ .- vsmwamiszgals "' ' ' cotton, middling basis, on the New Orleans market, during December" 5i of each year have been used.

C. - The premium paid for staple cotton during the six years, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, and 1927, has been fairly constant for lint measuring‘ 15/16 to 1 inch, and has ranged from $2.50 to $5.00 a bale. There has been considerable variation, however, in the premium paid for lint of thevlonger lengths, 1 1/ 16 to li-inch staple, particularly in the case of the latter. In December of 1923, 1 1/ 16-inch staple sold for a premium of $5.00 a bale, based on middling grade, on the New Orleans market, while in 1925 the premium paid for such cotton was $12.50 a bale. The premium paid for li-inch staple, middling basis, on the same market during the six-year period, 1922 to 1927, inclusive, varied from $20.00‘ a bale in 1923 to $40.00 a bale in 1922. The latter premium, however, is considerably above the average for the period, which was $28.00. Table 30 shows the comparative value per acre of the lint cotton pro- duced by the 16 better varieties tested at Temple during the six-year‘ period, 1922 to 1927, inclusive. Several averages were necessary to compare all varieties tested for three or more years. **Grade and Staple Report of February 15, 1929, issued by Bureau of Agri- cultural Economics, U. S.

New Boykin and Kasch were the most profitable varieties grown (lur- ing the four years, ,1 924 to 1927, both having practically the same money value per acre. They were followed by Acala, Lone Star, Mebane, and Lankart, in the order named. For the three years, 1925 to 1927, during which time several new varieties were tested, Kasch was the most profitable, having an acre value of $45.36 as against $43.88 for Qualla, $42.32 for New BoyYkin, $42.23 for Harper, and $41.60 for Acala. These results in general show that those varieties which had lint i to 1 inch in length made the largest yields and had the highest acre values and were, therefore, the more profitable ones for the Blackland region of Central Texas. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors are indebted to Dr. E. B. Reynolds, Chief of the Division of Agronomy, for helpful suggestions concerning the preparation of the manuscript. The field experiments were conducted and data collected by the follow- ing former superintendents of Substation No. 5, Temple: Mr. A. K. Short, 1912 to 1916; and Mr. A. B. Cron, 1923 to 1925. SUMMARY Varieties of cotton having high percentages of lint and producing a staple of g to 1 inch in length made the highest yields of lint per acre and were generally the more profitable ones tested at Temple in the Blackland region of Central Texas during the 16 years, 1912 to 1927. Statistics show that cotton of the~above lengths is in greatest demand by the American mills. Kasch made the highest yield of lint during this period. Qualla ranked second, and New Boykin third, although the difference in yield of these varieties is probably not significant. These three varieties were followed in yield by Harper, Anton, Sunshine, Lankart, Lone Star, Me- bane, Truitt, and Cliett Superior in the order named. Snowflake produced the longest lint, which averaged 1 9/32 inches. It was followed by Durango, Acala, and Lone Star, which had lint of 1%, 1 1/16, and 1 inch, respectively. Lone Star was the only one of these four varieties that was rated as a high yielder. ' The varieties that had high percentages of lint ranging from 36 to 4O per cent were generally the highest yielders of lint. Qualla, Lankart, Cliett Superior, Kasch, Harper, and Mebane had percentages of lint ranging from 39 to 40 per cent; While Lone Star, Anton, New Boykin, and Truitt had percentages of lint ranging from 36 to 38 per cent. Lankart produced the largest bolls, 68 being required to weigh one pound of seed cotton. The bolls of Belton, Kasch, Mebane, Cliett Supe- VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR THE BLACKLANDS OF CENTRAL TEXAS 41 rior, Qualla, and Harper were also relatively large, requiring 73 to 78 to the pound. The bolls of these varieties were storm-resistant, yet easy to pick. The higher-yielding varieties were all relatively early-maturing and produced over two-thirds of their total crop at the first picking, which was made during the early part of September each year. A study was made of the money value of the higher-yielding varieties tested since 1922, based on yield of lint and length of lint. The aver- age prices paid on the New Orleans market during December of each year were used in determining the total acre value of these varieties. New Boykin and Kasch had an acre value of $56.75 and $56.65, re- spectively, for the four years, 1924 to 1927, inclusive. Acala had an acre value of $52.19 for the same period, Lone Star $51.60, Mebane $50.92, Lankart $50.74, and Sunshine $50.48. Kasch was the most profitable variety grown during the three years, 1925 to 1927. During this period a number of new varieties were tested, which were compared i to Kasch. Kasch had an acre value for this period of $45.36 as com- pared to $43.88 for Qualla, $42.32 for New Boykin, $42.23 for Harper, ' and $41.60 for Acala. The results in general show that those varieties which made the highest yields had a staple of 5L to 1 inch and were the most profitable. These results are probably applicable to the greater part of the Black- land prairie region of Texas. 42 BULLETIN NO. 399, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION 5 hi.
