COME AND SEE FOR 
YOURSELF 
Last season some 3,000 southern farmers 
traveled a total distance of one-half million miles 
in visiting the Coker Farms. The average length 
of the trip was around 100 miles and return. None 
complained at the expenditure of time and money 
devoted to these trips. 
Why do several thousand farmers and many 
scientists travel long distances to come here each 
season? Well, one of our men asked a North Caro¬ 
lina farmer-visitor that question last summer. He 
said: “I have visited Mr. Coker’s farms at least 
once a year for many years and I have never been 
there yet but what I learned something that helped 
me make more money from my farm.” 
That answer explains most of our visitors. It 
is our business and pleasure to help you make more 
money farming by not only offering the finest seed 
that scientific care and conscientious work can pro¬ 
duce but also by telling and showing you what we 
have learned about better farming practices—fer¬ 
tilizing, boll weevil control, cultivation, cover crops, 
dairying, etc. 
We hope you will plan to visit us this year. 
You will receive a cordial welcome. May for grain 
breeding, July and August for cotton.
