BAsTRoI', La, January "a, 1850
Editor MorehOuSe Clarion:
De0, ,Sia.-I said to you some time since
that 1 would give you the result OF my gin
ming lot of The s'Peterkin Cotton.' i have
ginned 81. 900 lbs seed cotton, weighed in lois
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-third more of it than the common
cotton. Can also gin at least one-third
more of it in the same length OF time than
any other cotton.
i know my seed to be pure, as there was
no other cotton planted on my Limo pianta-
ton in 1884 except the Peterkin.
T believe there is more money to be made,
by at least So per cent in planting the Peter
KIN than any other cotton.
Yours Respectfully.
GEO. A. PETERKIN.

LINE o., La, January,

l hereby certify that had the manage
ment of the Peterkin Plantation at this
place during the year 1884, which was
planted in the Peterkin Prolific Cotton.
l commenced planting Oh the first of May:
and finished on the 10Th OF The same month.
The crop had the usual culture on the share
system. / have seen all the varieties of
cotton grown in the country, and consider
the Peterkin Prolific far superior to all of
them. II fruits more rapidly, stands more
hot, dry weather than other cotton, does
not rust. The crop hero had no rain after
Sd of July. Continued to grow during the
long drouth, remained green, long after
other crops Of the country were burnt up
and matured nearly or quite to the top.
Pickers claim they can pick one-third
more of the Peterllin than any other cotton
grown. / believe there is more money in
it than in any other cotton grown. There
has only been 81 small portion of the crop
ginned which has been weighed by Mr.. j.
+. I!encgan, who had charge of the gin.
Same averaged fl 45 loon lint cotton to a
hundred pounds seed cotton.
