South Carolina Bulletins 18, 42, 120. Texas Bulletins 34, 40,' 45, 50. Bulletin .33, Office of Experiment Stations, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. A strictly semicluster, early variety originated by R. W. Drake, I>aneville, Ala., and like many in this group liable to injury from anthracnose. Plant pyramidal in shape, with one or more limbs, bearing rather short fruiting branches with short and irregular joints, leaves medium in size, bolls medium to large, seeds rather small, fuzzy. Bolls per pound, 81; seeds per pound, 4,490; average length of lint, mm. (fl inch), varj'ing from 20 to 25 mm.; strength of single fibers, 6 gms.; per cent of lint, Fig. 23.—Map of the cotton-growing States, showing the distribution of Drake cotton in cultivation, as reported in 1907.

The size of bolls in 1907 ranged from 66 per pound at Baton Rouge, La., to 84 at College Station, Tex.; the per cent of lint, from at College Station, Tex., to at Auburn, Ala.
