This outstanding row may be the ancestor of a new variety for 1940. 
ADVANCE NOTICES OF NEW VARIETIES NOT YET 
READY FOR DISTRIBUTION 
1. A brand new type descended from Farm 
Relief. This cotton will be a delight to 
lovers of the old Cleveland 5. It combines 
all the good qualities of Cleveland 5, and 
adds from Farm Relief earliness, larger 
bolls, higher lint per cent, longer staple, 
greater uniformity and better character. 
2. Farm Relief Strain 4. A new strain bred 
from Farm Relief 3; identical in type but 
superior to Strain 3. 
3. Coker-Wilds No. 7. A very superior new 
strain descended from the Wilds 4 blood 
line. The most productive strain of Wilds 
cotton we have ever selected, combining 
with that high production a splendid staple. 
4. Coker-Clevewilt Strain 5. Longer and more 
productive even than Clevewilt Strain 4. 
Equally as resistant to our Hartsville and 
Sumter wilts; more resistant to the Man¬ 
ning type wilt. 
5. A new strain of Gold Dollar Tobacco. 
Superior in uniformity, texture, quality— 
more nearly approaching the ideal. 
6 . A new cold and smut resistant oat, Coker 
33-47. Slightly taller and later than the 
Fulghum, but of the same general type. It 
produced 72 bushels in government test at 
Arlington in one of the coldest winters on 
record. This is a worthy successor to Coker 
32-1 offered last year. 
7. An oat to take the place of Fulghum. Semi¬ 
cold resistant, highly smut resistant, five 
days to a week earlier than Fulghum— 
beautiful red plump grains. 
These new strains, that will probably be 
available in the fall of 1935, are the survivors 
of thousands of individual plant selections. 
They passed through the rigorous fires of test¬ 
ing and have survived on their performance 
record. 
Extensive, scientific breeding work is being 
carried on with all of our cottons. Back of 
the strains already introduced and to be intro¬ 
duced in 1935 are hundreds of strains and 
thousands of selections in various stages of 
increase and testing. All of these new strains 
that are being continued we think are superior 
in some particular character or characters to 
the ones already introduced, and give promise 
of producing still better varieties and strains. 
Intensive pedigreed breeding is likewise being 
carried on with a large number of other vari¬ 
eties to fill some specific need or purpose. 
You should come here during the growing 
season to see these new strains and to get an 
idea of what our plant breeding work can do 
for you. 
It is adding millions of dollars each year to 
Southern farm profits.
