COKERS 
Section of 142-acre wilt infested field 
which yielded 163J4 500-wt. bales in spite 
of weevil and weather damage. 
A New Wilt Cotton 
Coker 4-in-l, comes from a cross of our Foster Strain 6 and 
Clevewilt. It is the result of 12 years continuous breeding and 
testing both on the wilt and non wilt soils. Those of us who 
have grown and studied this variety during its development, 
increase and testing period, realize that these years of pains¬ 
taking care and expense were not in vain. Coker 4-in-l is 
worthy of this effort. It is a remarkable variety—combining 
the earliness, and thin foliage of the Foster with the high yield, 
vigor and wilt resistance of the Clevewilt. 
It is a good cotton either for wilt or non-wilt soils. It led 
our Main Variety Test in 1936 and ranked 5th in 1937 in 
pounds of seed cotton per acre. In our main wilt tests, con¬ 
ducted at Hartsville, Sumter, Manning and Alcolu, in which 
certainly three and possibly four different biologic forms of 
Fusarium wilt are represented, it ranked in yield, 1st at 
Sumter, 2nd at Alcolu and 3rd at Hartsville and Manning. 
In these tests were planted 32 of the best wilt varieties and 
strains. 
Our croppers say it is one of the hardest cottons not to 
make a bale to the acre with that they have ever planted. 
Without exception every cropper who had this cotton in 1937 
wants to plant it again in 1938. Not only is it extremely pro¬ 
ductive, but the small plant, thin foliage, the fluffy pendant 
bolls set from bottom to top of plant make picking easy and 
storm and weather damage slight.
