OUR PROTECTION PLAN 
Many of our customers who buy our new 
strains and varieties of seed regularly, have 
established quite a reputation for the sale of 
reliable “first-year” seed. We have always en¬ 
couraged them to do this, for it helps to dis¬ 
tribute pure-bred, productive seeds more 
rapidly, and it enables our customers to realize 
a profit, thus encouraging them to continue to 
purchase our new and improved strains. 
In the fall of 1933 we worked out a system 
to afford some protection from the unfair com¬ 
petition of careless and unscrupulous seeds¬ 
men and growers—those offering as recently 
from us, seed so many years removed from 
our breeding farms that they have lost their 
identity and value. 
FOR YOUR PROTECTION 
1. We will furnish each purchaser of a reason¬ 
able quantity of our NEW strains and NEW 
varieties of cottonseed, oats, wheat and 
soybeans, a certificate of purchase (see 
below). 
2. At the end of the selling season, we will 
send to each customer who purchases seed 
of our new strains and varieties, a com¬ 
plete list of all purchasers in his county of 
the particular strain or variety that he 
bought. This list will give names and ad¬ 
dresses of county purchasers in alphabeti¬ 
cal order and show quantity of seed which 
each has bought. Copy of list will also be 
furnished County Agent of said county. 
3. We will not be disposed to place our newest 
and best seed with parties who will not 
recognize the importance of keeping them 
pure and handling them properly. 
It is, of course, impractical to go back and 
furnish certificates on strains and varieties 
which we have offered during previous years, 
for, those seed have already been redistributed 
and are no longer under our exclusive control. 
The new strains and varieties of cotton de¬ 
scribed in this catalog are Farm Relief Strain 
3 on page 4, Coker-Clevewilt Strain 4 on page 
6, Coker-Wilds Semi-Wilt on page 7, and 
Coker-Wilds No. 6 on page 8. A certificate 
of purchase will be furnished every customer 
who buys 100 lbs. or more of seed of these 
new cottons and list of purchasers for his 
county of the variety that he buys will be 
furnished next summer.
