! Among the varieties of cotton which
we have tested here for some several
years past and which have made good
yields are the following: College No. l.,
Cleveland Big Boil Trice, SUNBEAM.
Cooks. Culpepper, Hooper's and Browns
No 2. We do not maintain that these
are the only varieties which may be

Lney are standard sorts which have been
found to stand up we'll in the matter of
earIiness, production of a satisfactory
grade of lint and high adaptability for
cultivation throughout the state. Col
lege No l is a strain which has been
improved here at the college. Only 4
limited amount of seed is available of
this variety as yet Trice, of course,
is variety which has been grown
quite extensively for some years. Most
people are familiar with the good quail
ties of Cleveland's Big Boil. Sunbeam
was improved by the College of Agri-
culture and is quite good quality.
Cooks is a good strain but is somewhat
subject to anthracnose. You would make
no mistake in selecting any of the varie-
ties mentioned above for cultivation in
your section of the state.
According to the seed survey which was

most extensively cultivated of any va
