COKER’S 4-IN-l 
STRAIN 3 (SOLD OUT) 
STRAIN 2 
BEST OF THE 4-IN-l’s IN YIELD AND 
LINT PER CENT 
Coker’s 4-in-l cotton has made an enviable record 
since its introduction in the spring of 1938, both in 
tests and in fields. It won the first State prize with 
a yield of 1,162 pounds lint per acre, and two first 
District prizes in the 1938 S. C. 5-Acre Cotton 
Contest. 
A HIGH YIELDING WILT RESISTANT COTTON 
OF EARLY MATURITY AND PREMIUM STAPLE 
Coker’s 4-in-l Strain 2 is a high yielding, early 
maturing wilt resistant cotton of medium size stalk 
and medium leaf. It has all the good qualities of 
4-in-l Strain 1 and in addition is a few days earlier. 
LEADS ALL WILT COTTONS 
In the 1938 Pee Dee Experiment Station test it 
led all wilt cottons in pounds of seed cotton and 
money value per acre, ranking eighth in the entire 
list of 44 wilt and non-wilt varieties. It led Strains 
1 and 2 in all our wilt tests and in our main variety 
test on non-wilt soil. Its record shows it to be better 
than either 4-in-l Strains 1 or 2, as illustrated in 
the 1938 Pee Dee Station test below:

The good record of Coker’s 
4-in-l Strain 3 continued in 
1939, with 4-in-l Strain 3 lead¬ 
ing the cotton variety test of 
Georgia Coastal Plain Experi¬ 
ment Station, Tifton, Ga., with 
a yield of 1,369 pounds of seed 
cotton and highest money value 
per acre. 
BEST RECORD ON WILT 
LAND 
We are continuing our exten¬ 
sive plant to row testing on the 
worst wilt soils. The new strains 
are tested in Manning, Sumter 
and Hartsville plots. The second 
year strains are tested on these 
wilt plots again and seed are 
planted in the general variety 
tests on non-wilt soils. The one 
that makes the best combined 
record is saved and increased as 
a new strain. Coker’s 4-in-l 
Strain 3 has this combined best 
record.

more uniform in type with a smaller leaf, slightly 
larger boll and higher lint per cent. 
It combines the earliness and thin foliage of its 
Foster parent and the high yield and vigor and wilt 
resistance of its other parent, Clevewilt. Bolls aver¬ 
age 68 to 72 to pound. Lint length V/io," to 1%2" 
under good conditions. The lint turnout, 35.5 to 37.5. 
Because of its excellent yield record, it is a 
desirable cotton for planting on either wilt or non¬ 
wilt soils.
