COKER 100 WILT Strain 5 
(Continued from page 2) 
tests from North Carolina to Mississippi 
and Louisiana. 
We quote as follows from the 1944 
variety test report of the Mississippi Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station: 
“It should be noted that Coker 100 Wilt 
has performed good to well in nearly all 
tests in recent years, and on soil with mod- 
erate wilt infestation is usually a top pro- 
ducer.” 
In a three year average of all tests 
conducted in South Georgia, 1942-44, on 
wilt infested soil, Coker 100 Wilt made the 
highest record of the seven cottons tested, 
and led all varieties in similar tests in 
north, central and south Alabama. 
Good Spinning Quality 
As a result of a four-year program in 
which thousands of individual plant and 
test row fiber analyses, and hundreds of 
spinning tests, have been made at leading 
government testing laboratories, we have 
been able to regularly improve the spin- 
ning quality of this variety. These tests 
continued from year to year give definite 
promise of constant improvement in these 
essential qualities. 
One variety communities, county agents, 
cotton spinners, and others interested in 
standardized cotton production may be 
assured that our breeding program on this 
superior cotton has been laid out so as to 
insure a supply of seed of ever improving 
quality, and that this variety will be con- 
tinued under its own name for many years 
to come.

CAUTION 
Due to the development of apparently 
new races of wilt, complicated by adverse 
seasonal conditions, improper fertilization 
and the presence in some instances of the 
deadly meadow nematode, no conscien- 
tious breeder can guarantee any wilt re- 
sistant cotton to survive on any wilt in- 
fested soils.
