** 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. Stoneville LA 887 included in this test as
a mid-season check variety.
* 0 = glabrous, 1= smooth leaf (similar to DP 50), 5 = hairy
(similar to DES 119).
