New Cotton Variety
May Reverse Decline
ZEBULON — A Pike County
cotton farmer and ginner who is
“sold” on the new high-quality
Atlas variety is now busy or
ganizing a one variety commun
ity of Atlas cotton growers for
the production of high-quality
lint and certified seed in 1968.
Charles Connell, who opera
tes the Connell Gin and Ware
house at Williamson, received
enough foundation seed of the
Atlas variety to plant 170 acres
in 1967 but this was not enough
to form a one-variety commu
nity. Connell planted 30 acres
on his own farm and then con
tracted with a select group of
growers to plant the remainder
of the acreage.
All of the growers selected had
good cotton land, according to
Harvey C. Lowery, agronomist
in charge of seed certification
work for the Cooperative Ex
tension Service, “but of more
importance was their willing
ness to follow the recommend
ed practices required to produce
high-quality lint and seed.”
All the growers selected their
best cotton land and applied
lime and fertilizer based on soil
test recommendations, he said.
They averaged using 90 pounds
of nitrogen, 70 pounds of phos
phate and 80 pounds of potash
per acre. Only this one variety
was grown on each farm and
it was Isolated at least 300 feet
from any other cotton.
The growers were faced with
a cool, damp spring and they
gave credit for a good stand of
cotton to the use of seed which
had been treated with an insec
ticide and fungicide to control
seedling insects and diseases.
They planted in 40-inch rows
around May 1 using 20 pounds
of acid delinted seed per acre.

Connell reported that the yield
on Atlas cotton equaled or ex
ceeded that of other cotton and
said that it matured at least two
weeks earlier. “This is very im
portant to us,” he said, “for cot
ton grown in the Piedmont area
is damaged by an early freeze
about one year out of every
three.”
This year only about one-third
of the cotton in Connell’s area
was of the Atlas variety but as
of Nov. 1 over 70 percent of the
cotton ginned was Atlas. Quality
was excellent with an average
pressley strength of 93.90.
Although cotton acreage in the
Williamson area has been de
creasing for the past several ye
ars, Connell feels that this new
variety will help to reverse the
trend. ,
