department has for a number of years been super¬ 
vised by Mr. C. B. Hucks and our traveling repre¬ 
sentative, Mr. R. S. Entzminger, has served in that 
capacity since 1933.

cation, experience and association with Mr. Coker 
and imbued with a spirit of loyalty, are united in 
their determination to carry on his work under the 
policy and program laid out by him. 
The Company’s outlook is good, advance bookings 
of cotton seed are the best in years and the future 
of the plant breeding work offers such valuable 
prospects as, new rust resistant varieties of oats 
and wheat, new strains of cotton, of both long and 
short staple, for wilt and non-wilt lands, and further 
improvement in bright leaf tobacco varieties. 
The Company will continue to serve the farmers 
of the South and to cooperate with the Extension 
Service and other governmental and educational 
agencies for the upbuilding of southern agriculture.
