COKER 100 STAPLE (1946) 
1946 BREEDER FOUNDATION STOCK: 
“AN EXTRA LENGTH COKER 100 COTTON BRED FOR DELTA” 
Introduced to our Delta customers for the 
first time in 1945, this new line of Coker 100 
breeding has earned a high standing among 
Delta planters who want a cotton with some 
extra staple length, and at the same time the 
growing, fruiting, and good picking qualities of 
the shorter Coker 100 cottons. 
Coker 100 Staple ideally fills these require- 
ments. It is one of the most productive cottons 
that we have ever bred. The bolls are large (65 
to 68 per pound)—open wide, fluff beautifully, 
and handle nicely with mechanical picker. The 
gin turnout is high. The lint is hard, full bodied, 
usually averaging around 1°.” in length. 
LED 1945 DELTA TESTS IN MONEY VALUE 
In 1945, Coker 100 Staple was entered for the 
first time in the main Uniform Cotton Variety 
Test conducted by the Delta Branch Experiment 
Station, Stoneville, Miss. This cotton, together 
with eleven other leading Delta varieties, was 
planted in test at seven different Delta locations. 
In the average of these seven tests, Coker 100 
Staple led all other varieties in money value 
per acre ($220). The average staple length was 
36.6 thirty-seconds, or almost 1°45”. 
It ranked second in money value in the 1944 
Pee Dee Experiment Station Test at Florence, 
S. C., with a yield of 780 pounds of lint, staple 
of 1543”, and total seed and lint value of 
$255.47; and third in their 1945 test with lint 
yield of 830 pounds, staple of 1%4,”, and total 
value of $297.35 per acre. 
In a two year test (1944 and 1945) conducted 
by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station 
at Ysleta, Texas, Coker 100 Staple produced 
1,280 pounds of lint per acre, with an average 
staple of 36.2 thirty-seconds. The highest lint 
yield was 1,311 pounds per acre, made by Miller 
610, with a staple of 31.5 thirty-seconds.

ease of picking with mechanical harvester or by hand. The plant is of open type with one to three 
vegetative branches and well spaced, fruiting branches. This cotton combines high yield with premium 
staple length.
