COKER-WILDS 
STRAIN 15 
A New Strain With A Record Of Higher 
Money Value Per Acre 
High quality long staple cotton of middling and 
better grade is urgently needed in the war program 
and its importance is emphasized by the high pre- 
miums fixed under the government loan schedule, 
Coker-Wilds, in hands of experienced growers, 
usually produces the required lengths. 
Coker-Wilds Strain 15 tested on our farms in 
competition with earlier strains has shown a higher 
money return per acre. It is bred from Wilds Strain 
138 and has its many good qualities, such as earli- 
ness, desirable type and drouth resistance. Its large 
bolls open wide with desirable fluffiness. This cotton 
is of extra early fruitage, a good lint turnout aver- 
aging from 33 to 85% under good conditions, and 
produces a strong, silky fiber averaging 1144” to 1%” 
or even longer when growing and soil conditions 
are ideal. 
The plant is semi-dwarf and of open type with 
from one to three vegetative branches. The bolls 
are round ovate, slightly pointed and usually aver- 
age from 65 to 70 to the pound. 
Coker-Wilds is being successfully grown over a 
wide territory. It is giving satisfactory results in 
the irrigated areas of New Mexico and west Texas, 
in many parts of the Mississippi Valley and from 
north Florida to North Carolina.

IMPORTANT NOTE—Growing long staple cotton 
is a specialty. We do not recommend its planting by 
any new growers who are not familiar with addi- 
tional care in the picking, drying, ginning and 
marketing necessary to secure a superior product. 
Middling or better smoothly ginned lint must be 
produced for its growing to be profitable and to 
meet the demands of the war program.
