NEW COTTON GIVES 
SPLENDID RESULTS 
Coker 100 Pleases Grow¬ 
ers from Piedmont tc 
Seacoast and Virginia 
to Louisiana. 
Never before in its 35 years 
of cotton breeding has the Cok¬ 
er’s Pedigreed Seed Company— 
pioneer southern plant breeders 
of Hartsville, S. C.—received so 
many outstandingly good reports 
on any one of their cotton varie¬ 
ties as those on Coker 100. This 
new productive to 1%" 
cotton is producing remarkably 
throughout a large part of the 
eastern cotton belt as well as in 
the Mississippi Valley. 
W. M. Camp, prominent lum¬ 
berman and paper manufactur¬ 
er, operating plants in S. C. and 
Virginia reports: “Four acres 
of your Coker 100 cotton planted 
one mile north of Franklin, Va.. 
in Southampton County yield¬ 
ed 8,834 pounds of seed cottor 
and ginned 3,153 pounds of lint.” 
And from Lake Providence. 
La., J. E. Harris cotton buyer 
for McFadden and Oates, writes 
“I have watched your new Coker 
100 cotton with interest—one 
crop of 12 acres is making 2C 
bales and another of 11 acres 
23 bales—not bad. I am inter¬ 
ested in getting this cotton or 
more farms.” 
And from the Carolina sea- 
coast where the boll weevil hae 
greatly curtailed cotton produc¬ 
tion and the alluvial soils and 
the long growing season tend tc 
grow too much weed, comes this 
report from Mr. F. Ashford. 
Georgetown County: “5 acres 
planted with this seed (Coker 
100) produced an average of 
712 pounds of lint per acre. My 
lands as well as most of the 
land here, produces very large 
NORTH GEORGIA 
FARMER PLEASED 
WITH COEER COTTON 
Picks Over Bale Per Acre 
on Bad Wilt Lands. 
From Morgan County, Geor¬ 
gia, not far from Tara, mythi¬ 
cal home of Gerald and Scarlett 
O’Hara, where the cotton wilt 
plague has already begun to in¬ 
vade the fertile red cotton lands, 
comes an interesting letter: “I 
was well pleased with your 
Clevewilt Strain 6—picking 600 
pounds of lint per acre without 
a sign of wilt on lands, some of 
which I have never seen a stalk 
of cotton mature before. I rec¬ 
ommend your Coker 100 as the 
best cotton I have ever seen 
grow on fertile non wilt lands.”

weed and this variety, Coker 
100, seems to be a very fine cot¬ 
ton for this section because of 
the small size and heavy fruit¬ 
ing type.” 
From the red hills of the Pied¬ 
mont, news of another fine crop 
is received. H. P. Milam, Sandy 
Springs, Anderson County, S. 
C. says: “I can truthfully say 
that I find Coker 100 quite the 
best I have ever planted. I grew 
6,368 pounds of lint on 5 acres 
and believe I am champion cot¬ 
ton grower of Anderson County 
—I attribute my success to 
Coker 100.” 
From the upper coastal plains 
of N. C., J. B. Thomas, Secre¬ 
tary-Treasurer of the Hoke Oil 
and Fertilizer Company, Rae- 
ford, N. C. reports: “This year 
I planted 43 acres of Coker 100 
cotton—yield on the 43 acres 
was 31,740 pounds of lint cotton 
or 63 bales, average weight of 
504 pounds. I consider your 
Coker 100 the best cotton I ever 
planted.” 
WILT LAND FARMERS 
MAKING GOOD CROPS 
Newer Strains of Coker- 
Clevewilt Give Good 
Yields and Premium 
Staple. 
As the great plague of cotton 
wilt spreads from field to field 
and from farm to farm through¬ 
out the cotton lands of the east¬ 
ern and central South, results 
of Coker’s wilt breeding work 
in producing highly wilt re¬ 
sistant, high yielding cottons of 
extra staple is being more and 
more recognized and apprecia¬ 
ted. 
Since Head Plant Breeder 
Wilds of the Coker Organiza¬ 
tion discovered and bred wilt 
varieties to withstand several of 
the newer types of cotton wilt, 
these new strains are proving 
the value of this work. 
Illustrative of the excellent 
Clevewilt crops reported by wilt 
land growers, McNair and 
Ward, Aiken, S. C. report: 
“154 acres of Clevewilt 6 pro¬ 
duced 590 pounds of lint per 
acre, practically all pulled 
U/U". We plant Clevewilt on 
both wilt and non wilt lands.” 
From the Carolina Piedmont, 
where wilt is beginning to show 
up, S. P. Moore, Gray Court, S. 
C. writes: “I like your Cleve¬ 
wilt 6 cotton seed. I made a bale 
to the acre on every acre I had. 
This is a good cotton for our 
section.” 
And from F. E. Watkins, An¬ 
derson, S. C.: “We had to quit 
growing cotton on one field of 
exceptionally good land because 
of wilt. We planted your Cleve¬ 
wilt 6 here this year and I am 
delighted to inform you that we 
have not found a single stalk 
dead on account of the wilt—it 
is a heavy producer and easy to 
pick.” 
And from north Central Geor¬ 
gia, E. O. Holmes, Manager 
Rockdale Farmers Association, 
Conyers, Ga. writes: “Results 
are especially good on Clevewilt 
5 on both wilt and non wilt 
lands.”
