A REPORT ON MACHINE PICKING 
As you know, we have been operating an International 
cotton harvester in this area during this fall. All of the 
cotton that we have picked to date has been Coker 100 
Wilt. I thought you would be interested in knowing that 
we have found this variety of cotton to be very satisfactory 
for mechanical harvesting, and that we have been well 
satisfied with the results obtained.

Unquestionably your Coker 100 Wilt resistant is the best 
cotton that we have planted on our farms. In 1945 we har- 
vested a little over 130 bales of this cotton with an I.H.C. 
cotton picker. You are to be congratulated on the good job 
done in developing this cotton for wilt-infested soils.

The Coker 100 Wilt Strain 5 proved awful satisfactory 
with us in 1945, made more cotton per acre in our 4-variety 
test and harvested good with the mechanical picker. I am 
to save enough of these seed to plant 5,000 acres in this 
community on one variety for next season, and I believe 
the growers will all be satisfied with the Coker 100 Wilt 
cotton.

Coker 100 Wilt Strains giving good performance, fruit- 
ing well, with no evidence of wilt. Much late planted Coker 
100 Wilt satisfactorily making under dry weather condi- 
tions.

(King & Anderson have been growing Coker 100 Wilt 
for the past two seasons on an extensive acreage and 
picking it largely with their three mechanical cotton 
pickers with most satisfactory results.) 

Picking Coker 100 Wilt cotton with our International, Model 
M-11-H, high drum cotton picker. This variety is especially suited for 
either mechanical or hand picking because of its rapid, uniform fruitage 
with bolls which open wide and fluff nicely. 
Center row in picture below has just been picked with mechanical 
picker. High percentage of cotton has been gathered without damage to 
un-opened bolls.
