(A New Strain) 
Geo. J. Wilds, Our Director of Plant Breeding 
“Our Longest and Best Staple Cotton” 
Coker-Wilds No. 5, bred from our Wilds 
No. 4, is the best strain of this excellent cot¬ 
ton we have ever been able to offer. It is 
more productive as is shown by the record 
made in our long staple test for the years 
1931, 1932 and 1933: 
Wilds Wilds Wilds

1933 Seed Cotton_1297.2 1354.2 1627.9

It has averaged to Yiq" longer staple 
than any other Wilds Cotton 
33.7% lint turn-out. Early, quick fruiting 
—same as Wilds No. 4. Large bolls—58 to 
60 to pound. More open growing and vigor¬ 
ous than Wilds No. 4.

In the spring of 1933, we furnished a few of our large acreage customers with a small 
quantity of our Coker-Wilds No. 5 cotton seed so that we might get accurate information on its 
performance under field conditions, for the benefit of our customers and ourselves, in advance 
of our first offering of this NEW STRAIN. These reports should be of especial interest to 
staple cotton growers. Below is published a report just received from McGee, Dean and Com¬ 
pany, Leland, Miss., who are the largest growers of long staple cotton in America. 
One measured acre laid off in four-foot rows, planted April 25th, two stalks to hill, 24 
inches apart—side dressed middle of May with 150 lbs. Nitrate of Soda turned out 695 pounds 
of lint. Our cotton firm classed this bale as strict middling, l-% 2 ". We think Wilds 5 is the 
best strain of cotton we have ever bought from you—It is earlier than other strains, bolls are set 
close to body of plant and are large and easy to pick—which make it an ideal long staple cot¬ 
ton for the Mississippi Delta. (From our observation and experience we find that this cotton 
yields better by planting it in four-foot rows and chopping it out to a thinner stand than 
the shorter cottons.)
