Congressional Cotton Seed Distribution Leaflets for 1902 and Fig. 50.—Map of the cotton-growing States, showing the distribution of Ruralist cotton in cultivation, as reported in 1907. A standard variety originated in 1895 from a single stalk of cotton found by the late J. T. Russell, of Alexanrler City, Ala., in his field of cotton. Mr. Russell was growing an impure strain of Truitt at the time and supposed this ])laiit to Jiave Itoen a cross between Truitt and Allen Long-Staple. It bears no resemblance to the latter variety, however, and it seems more ]irobable that it was a sport or mutation from Truitt. Duggara suggests that liussell mav b(» identical with Bancroft's llerlong. but while the color of the seed is quite similar to the latter the general habit of the plant is less semiclustercd and resembles Truitt more closel\'. The bolls are distinct in shape from cither Truitt or llerlong.
