“Nothing is so important in the production 
of farm crops as knowledge of the quality of 
the planting seed and their ability to produce 
both quantity and quality. It is highly desir¬ 
able for the farmer to know personally his 
seed breeder, to visit him occasionally, note 
his methods and see his new strains in fruit¬ 
age in the fields ” 
David R. Coker, 
May 1936.
