Dear Mr. Coker: 
We acknowledge receipt of your letter of September 26, 
relative to results from 1946 Breeder Stook of Coker's 100 Wilt 
Cotton. 
We are glad to report that we have had excellent re~ 
sults from your cotton this year. It has matured as early as 
necessary and we heave had no complaint whatever as to wilt, The 
picking quality is excellent and in spite of the extreme dry weather 
wo have had this fall, the staple is running from 1 1/32 to 1 3/2. 
We believe it is better adapted to this territory than any other 
variety planted this year, and we hope you will ce able to fill order 
for a car of seed, sent you sometime agos 
With kindest regards and best wishes, we are, 
Yours very truly,

Gentlemen: 
In addition to the bag of 100 Wilt cotton, 1946 Breeder Stock, which you furnished 
us , we were successful in obtaining another 1,000 lbs. from Russell~Heckle in 
Memphis. : 
We planted all of this cotton and the results were hig satisfactory. In eur 
opinion your cotton compared very favoribly wich mmm whch we have been using 
vefore. It opened slightly earlier, had no wilt, and picking quality was excellent, 
However we did not have a fair season for trial as it was extremely dry here and 
the crop, generally, is short. 
Very truly yours,

Dr. George J. Wilds, President, 
Goker's Pedigreed Seed Uo, 
Hartsville, S.C. 
Dear Dr, Wilds, 
Am writing to advise you that we are very highly pleased 
with our 1947 crop produced from your Coker's 100 Wilt 
eotton seed. We have upwards of 3,000 acres planted to 
this one variety in our one variety operation from which 
we are certifying our planting seed as well as our lint. 
We are finding this cotton resistant to wilt and producing 
equally well on our lands inclined to wilt and on our non~ 
wilt solis. It looks as if, at the present writing, we 
will produce better than a bale and a half cotton to the 
acre on our lands best adapted to cotton and better than 
a bale to the acre on our marcinal cotton lands. This 
eotton is pulling for us 1 3/32 to 1 1/8 in staple length, 
has é6xcellent picking qualities both for hand picking and 
machine picking, has lots of stamina and has withstood 
the adverse weather conditions of the current crowing 
season better than any cotton we have observed in our area. 
We are pleased to be able to advise you that we think this 
is the best all round cotton we have ever grown and 
eongratulate, you upon being able to stabilize in this 
strain of cotton all the better characters of your 100 Wilt 
cotton such as good staple length, good spinning quality 
and, most of all, high productivity to such a high degree. 
As soon as you are ready to offer your foundation seed 
fron the present crop of this cotton we wish to place an 
order with you for our 1948 requirments. 
Yours with regards, 
ae
