Twenty-four short staple cotton varieties were compared in a strip trial on the Safford Agricultural Center, 15 of which were seen for the first time, 7 of which were acala varieties from New Mexico. Three varieties, BR 110, Delta Pine Experimental 7124-293, and Northrup King KNX111 (now KC 311) exceeded the yield of the standard variety DP 90 by 12.6 %, 8.1 %, and 4 %, respectively. Other new cultivars that performed well but didn't exceed the yield of the standard, were HYP 1211, HYP 274, and Acala 2745. The first 2 are hybrids supplied by Dr. Warner Fisher, the latter is an experimental acala from New Mexico State University. Per acre values were affected by lint value as well as lint yield per acre. Using a value of $0.65/lb for New Mexico acala and $0.56/lb for Delta Pine acala, Acala 2745 produced $975/ac compared with DP 90's $916/ac and BR 110's $1031/ac.
