COTTON: ... Cotton is an absolute necessity in the American way of life. It is extremely important to the every day life of every one living in the cotton belt. While it is most important that farmers do not over-produce, it is also important that they produce at least as much as the world can pay for.

COTTON: .. . Cotton directly supports more Texas citizens, normally, than do any two or three other interests. It keeps, normally, hands and capital and soil all at work.

COTTON:.. . Cotton production, to keep up with the trend of time must and is undergoing a complete change and acreage is only one factor. The weather, the boll weevil and other cotton pests, the use of fertilizer as to quality and quantity, the selection of land for planting, the diligence of the cultivator and the quality of the seed are just some of the other factors entering into the equation. |

NEW IMPROVED SUNSHINE COTTON

New Improved Sunshine Cotton, Rowden strain, is a well-balanced, high yielding cotton, with unusual drouth resisting quality — producing uniformly good results year after year.

Three tests made of cotton are — in the field yield — at the gin in turnout — and on the market and New Improved Sunshine Cotton has been bred to meet these tests.

One of the outstanding results of the last few years of careful breeding work is the fact that New Improved Sunshine Cotton is semi-storm proof, yet it is an easily picked cotton. Stalks of uniform height have 8 to 10 fruiting branches, big thin-rind, five lock bolls, averaging 60 to 76 bolls to the pound of seed cotton.

Sparse foliage, yes, but enough to. assure protection from the sun during hot dry summers, but not interfering with early maturity. Sparse foliage is an advantage with cotton pests, because if you poison or dust, and you make money if you do, the sparse foliage allows the ingredient you put in your duster to get to the source of trouble with little or no interference.

New Improved Sunshine Cotton is a cotton that has been tested and proven, a cotton running even in staple length, averaging 31/34 with a lint turnout average of 35% to 40%. |

We stress the point that New Improved Sunshine Cotton is noted for its HEAVY FIELD YIELD. While climatic conditions and type of soils have a great deal to do with the average field production, given a chance over a period of a year, New Improved Sunshine Cotton will make the farmer “MORE DOLLARS PER ACRE.”
