Dean. Sri said to you some time since
that would give you the result Of my gin
ming lot of The "Peterkin Cotton" have
ginned 81 900 TBS seed cotton, weighed in lots
of from 900 to 1900 lbs, which turned out
Al $500 per cent of lint cotton.
This cotton was planted from LIST to 10th
of May. Had the usual cultivation on the
share system. No rain after lst of July.
Stands more hot, dry weather than any
other cotton grown. Hands claim they can
pick one-tllird more of it than the common
cotton. Can also gin at least one-third
more Of it in the same le"gth of time than
any othar cotton.
know my seed to he pure, as there wa
no other cotton planted on my Line planta-
ton in 1884 except the Peterkin.
believe there is more money to be made,
by at least 35 per cent in planting the Pet err
kin than any other cotton,
Yours Respectfully.
