WILDS 8 —Our answer to the Delta’s demand for a small-growing, early, extra long staple cotton. 
COKER-WILDS 
STRAIN 8 
Coker Wilds 8, in our opinion, is the longest and 
best upland, staple cotton ever bred. It has quali¬ 
ties that we have long strived to combine in one 
variety. 
It is ideal in type of growth, dwarfed, determi¬ 
nate, flat-topped, open thin foliage with 1 to 3 
vegetative branches and well spaced fruiting 
branches. Very similar in type to Coker 100 and 
Coker Cleveland 884. It is our answer to the Delta’s 
demand for a dwarf, small growing Wilds cotton. 
It is the earliest maturing of all Wilds strains 
and has large bolls, 60 to 67 to the pound. 
The bolls open wide, fluff beautifully, yet are 
storm resistant. 
It looks like and is often mistaken for a short cot¬ 
ton. No long cotton fluffs, picks, or handles so well. 
It is very productive. Fifty-one acres on our 
Upper Farm this past year produced an average 
of 584 pounds of lint per acre and was sold at above 
a 20-cent average. 
Its crowning qualities, however, are its extremely 
long, 0/4—1/4). uniform, strong, silky staple. So 
good that it is being used as a substitute for Egyp¬ 
tian Sakellarides and is giving better results. 
It handles and gins beautifully on our saw gins. 
Dur expert ginner tells us that he can do more with 
Wilds 8 than with any other variety by properly 
drying, fluffing and adjusting rolls, or in other 
words, intelligently handling. Samples of ten bales 
of this cotton were sent to Dr. R. W. Webb, Bureau 
of Agricultural Economics for Classing and all were 
given “A” preparation. 
The type and excellent qualities of Wilds 8 make 
it suitable for planting in all sections of the belt 
where there is no wilt. Some of these seed should 
be secured by all those who are familiar with and 
who take pride in the growing and handling of 
superior quality long cotton but only by such 
growers. It is too good not to be handled properly. 
Wilds 8 netted us more money per acre in 1936 
than any other variety. It led our 1935 main cot¬ 
ton variety test in value of seed and lint per acre 
and ranked second in the 1936 test. 
PRICES: $10.00 per 100-lb. bag, $190.00 per ton, 
f.o.b. Hartsville, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., or 
Memphis, Tenn. 
This check was paid one of our growers for a 22-bale lot of Wilds 8 
cotton—21%$ per pound. His 70 acres produced 35,587 lbs. lint (over 
71 500-lb. bales) which sold for an average of better than 210 per pound.
