* Fiber, boll and seed data from hand-harvested 100-boll samples taken
from 2 replications per location; leaf hair score from 10 leaves in
1 replication at Stoneville, MS. Deltapine 50 included in this test
as an early maturing check variety.
** 0 = glabrous
1 = smooth leaf (simular to Deltapine 50)
5 = hairy (simular to DES 119)
