COKER 100 
BLOCK 39-5 
WILT RESISTANT 

Increase field of Coker 100 wilt resistant cotton. In 1940, 32 acres 
produced 25,066 pounds of lint. Note wide opening and fluffiness. 
A new Coker 100 cotton with a high degree of wilt 
resistance, more vigor, high production and uniform good 
charactered lint of 1” to 1%,” in length. 
This cotton was bred to fill the persistent demand made 
by many growers and admirers of Coker 100 cotton who 
had some fields becoming infested with the wilt organism 
and on which the regular strains of Coker 100 could not 
be safely grown. ms 
Coker 100 wilt is the result of six years continuous 
intensive and extensive selection and plant-to-row testing 
on our badly wilt infested soils and this followed by three 
years subsequent strain and variety testing on both wilt 
and non-wilt soils. 
VARIETY TEST RECORD 
Coker 100 wilt ranked first in yield and first in total 
money value per acre in our wilt strain tests at Sumter 
and at Manning, S. C., in 1939. These tests included, in

addition to checks variety, 75 of our best wilt strains. In 
a similar test planted at Hartsville, it ranked 6th in yield 
and 9th in total money value. In 1940, it led our Coker 
100 strain test in yield, producing 2,530 pounds of seed 
cotton and 1,030 pounds of lint per acre. A 32-acre increase 
field of this cotton in 1940, produced slightly in excess of 
50 five-hundred-pound bales that were classed a full inch 
in length and of excellent character. 
Its uniformly good performance in tests and field con- 
vinees us of its real merit and worthiness of being offered 
to our customers in the belief that it will contribute to 
the solution of their wilt problem, and give increased 
profits.
