COKER'S 4 in 1 
Strain 4 
SUITED FOR WILT OR NON- 
WILT LAND 
Coker’s 4-in-1 cotton has made an enviable 
record both in tests and in fields since its intro- 
duction in the spring of 1938. As one of our 
agricultural authorities expressed it, 4-in-1 
seems to be the answer to the demand for a 
highly productive, full length, good charac- 
tered cotton that is suited for planting both on 
wilt and non-wilt soils. Its record in the South 
Carolina 5-Acre Cotton Contest during 1938 
and 1939 bears this out. 
Coker’s 4-in-1 won the 
first State prize both 
years, also two first Dis-

BEST WILT COTTON 
YET OFFERED 
Strain 4 of this cotton, 
which we are offering for the first time, is the 
best strain that we have so far bred. In type 
it is very similar to Strain 2, indeterminate, 
erect, open, vigorous, deep rooted with two 
to four vegetative branches, well spaced, 
medium long fruiting branches and medium 
small leaf. The bolls are round ovate, slightly 
pointed, of medium size (70 to 75 to pound) ; 
open wide, fluff beautifully yet are storm 
resistant. The staple is 14.6” to 14%”, uniform 
and of excellent character. In increase fields on 
semi-wilt infested soil this cotton averaged 
over 800 pounds lint per acre; whereas, on bad 
wilt soils at Hartsville, Manning and Sumter 
it produced an average of 435 pounds lint per 
acre. Its nearest competitor produced 384 
pounds lint per acre.

VARIETY TEST RECORD 
In 1940, 4-in-1 Strain 4 led in pounds of seed 
cotton per acre in our Wilt tests at Manning 
and Sumter (planted on the worst wilt lands 
we know of). It also made the highest yield of 
seed cotton in pounds per acre at Georgia 
Experiment Station, Tifton, Ga., and the Pee 
Dee Experiment Station, Florence, S. C., and 
ranked second in our Main test at Hartsville, 
in which forty wilt and non-wilt varieties 
were planted.

NOTE: Because of our recent discovery of sev- 
eral new and very deadly types of cotton wilt 
(which raises the presumption that there may 
be other types undiscovered), we can make 
no guarantee as to the performance of our wilt- 
resistant cottons on wilt-infested soils.
