Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Considerable interest has been shown in the development of cottons with improved spinning performance in the Southeast within the past 6 or 7 years. Each State developed a comprehensive cotton-quality improvement program. As a part of the overall program, improved varieties are being developed by both public and private breeders. By 1964, there were a sufficient number of upland-cotton strains with improved spinning performance in the rainbelt that a Regional High-Quality Cotton-Variety Testing Program was begun. These tests were conducted in 1967 and 1968. The specific objective was to determine the effects of certain ginning treatments on grade factors, fiber properties, and spinning performance of new high-quality cottons (mainly high fiber strength and improved length-uniformity) in the Southeast. Three of the more promising high-strength, high-quality cottons were included in the study. In 1967 they were Coker 413 from Pendleton, S.C.; Atlas 67 from Midville, Ga.; and TH-149 from Laurinburg, N.C. In 1968 they were Coker 413 from Vienna, Ga.; Atlas 68 from Midville, Ga.; and TH-149 from Laurinburg, N.C.
