WOOD’S INGOLD COTTON SEED
I'Olt SALE BY
HERMAN BEAM, FALLSTON, N. C.
Will sell or exchange for other seed. This cotton was
grown in a test on my Beams Mill farm under direction
of V, A. Gardner. Ginned on the Boggs-Ross Gin at
Fallston. Re-cleaned on Cyclone Cleaner.
In the test, three other standard varieties were also
grown with these results; largest yield seed cotton per
acre—highest per cent lint at gin 89%, largest bolls 68
per pound. Was all open at Oct. 28; length of lint 1 1-32
in.; brought premium of 1 3-4 cents over the market.
9 acres of common land made 10 bales last year. As
Blackmon says about his stock brick: “You’ve tried all
the rest, now try the best.”
