Does The Southern 
Farmer Need Us? 
By DAVID R. COKER 
The Southern farmer is our main client. 
His profits are our main concern. 
We have bred for him cottons that make him 
greater yields and longer staple than the old sorts. 
They have made him millions of dollars and 
have greatly helped the southeastern cotton mills 
also. 
We have given the Southern farmer smut- 
immune and highly cold-resistant oats that make 
very high yields and have very high feeding value. 
We have bred for him a wheat which will make 
heavy yields from the Piedmont to tidewater, and 
enables him to produce his bread at home. 
We have bred and distributed a bright tobacco 
that has already given him millions of extra dol¬ 
lars. Many customers have made above $400 per 
acre, and one as high as $800 with this variety. 
These accomplishments and the many services 
which we offer the farmer without cost entitles 
us, we believe, to be considered indispensable in 
the economy of every farm in this region. 
If you fail to use us and our work you are 
neglecting a big opportunity to add to your profits 
and to the comfort and satisfaction of your family. 
Don’t fail to read every word in this catalog 
and then come to see us at least twice a year.
