COKER 100 STAPLE-—(Continued) 
BREEDER FOUNDATION STOCK 
MISSISSIPPI GROWN 
To insure Mississippi Valley growers a supply 
of good planting seed of this cotton, a seed in- 
crease program was established in the Northern 
Mississippi Delta in 1946. All Breeder Founda- 
tion Stock Coker 100 Staple seed offered for 
sale this year will come from this increase. 
An extensive breeding, fiber and yarn testing 
program, which we have underway with this 
cotton, insures constant improvement. Our 1946 
Foundation Breeder Stock is our latest develop- 
ment. The first 47 bale lot of the 1946 crop 
grown at Banks, Miss., was classed as 134,” in 
length. A two day’s ginning record indicated a 
gin turnout of 36% and 37% respectively, 
coupled with this excellent record is a yarn 
strength index of 110 plus.
