C. WAYNE SMITH* AND G. A. NILES (1) TAM 0033 had significantly longer upper-half mean length (UHM) of fibers than the average of the two control cultivars and no germplasm had significantly shorter fibers. Only germplasm line TAM 1033 had significantly weaker fibers than Stoneville 213. Three of the seven lines, TAM 0033, 0066, and 8177, had significantly finer fibers as indicated by micronaire readings than either Stoneville 213 or Deltapine 50. Twenty-five seeds of each germplasm line will be available for distribution from the corresponding author until seed supplies are exhausted. Research and development of these germplasm lines were supported in part by the Texas Food and Fiber Commission.
