STONEVILLE PEDIGREED 
SEED COMPANY 
... A Service Institution, Founded on Faith, Determination and Hard Work 

ike World wide renown of Stoneville 
and Delfos cottons, products of the highly 
developed Modern Cotton Breeding Pro- 
gram, of the STONEVILLE PEDIGREED 
SEED CO. are a gratifying tribute to the 
FAITH, DETERMINATION AND HARD 
WORK of the company’s founder—Mr. G. 
B. Walker. These three cornerstones, to- 
gether with a sincere desire to be of service 
to the cotton farmer, made up the founda- 
tion of an organization that is today recog- 
nized throughout the world for its contri- 
butions to the development of Modern 
Cottons. 
Mr. Walker, as one of the first Directors 
of the Delta Experiment Station at Stone- 
ville, Miss., headed the very commendable 
work done at this institution in develop- 
ing new cottons to combat the threat of 
the boll weevil. He realized, however, 
that this development of new cottons was 
of little practical value to the farmers un- 
less the seed could be produced and made 
available in sufficient quantities to meet 
their needs. 
The challenge presented by this situ- 
ation was such that Mr. Walker felt that 
it could not be ignored. Consequently, 
in 1922 together with a few associates he 
founded the STONEVILLE PEDIGREED 
SEED COMPANY. This new company 
was dedicated to the purpose of developing 
high type cottons to meet the needs of the 
times and, furthermore, of increasing the 
seed therefrom in sufficient quantities that 
the cotton farmers might receive the bene- 
fits of such cottons. 
The high standing of STONE- 
VILLE COTTONS in the esteem 
of both the cotton farmer and 
the spinner of cotton is solid 
proof of the soundness of Mr. 
Walker’s ideals of Service, of his 
Faith, Determination and Hard 
Work.

STONEVILLE PEDIGREED SEED COMPANY, 
WALKER FARMS DAIRY and WALKER PLAN- 
TATIONS, Mr. Walker finds time to serve as 
State Senator; president, Mississippi Guernsey 
Cattle Club; president, Washington County 
Farm Bureau, and member of the National 
Dairy Committee of the American Farm Bureau 
Federation. 
Walker Farms [airy 
Balances Farm Program 
at Stoneville 
Realizing the growing importance of 
livestock in a well balanced farm program 
Mr. Walker turned his attention to the 
breeding of registered Guernsey cattle and 
the production of quality milk. Beginning 
in 1927, in a very modest way, Walker 
Farms Dairy today is one of the outstand- 
ing dairy farms of Mississippi with one 
of the finest herds of Guernsey cattle in 
the south. 
The herd made up of over 250 registered 
animals and headed by two outstanding 
sires, Flying Horse Royal Piper and 
Reigeldale Mck Barnard, is a splendid 
example of scientific breeding. 
The cash income derived from the Dairy 
during the depression years helped ma- 
terially in carrying our organization 
through those troubled times and proved 
conclusively that the practical application 
of scientific breeding pays off in every 
phase of farm activity.
