GOOD PICKING BY HAND OR MACHINE 
We are pleased to reprint the following reports 
from outstanding planters from many sections of 
the cotton belt giving reports on the picking quali- 
ties—both hand and machine—of our Coker 100 
Wilt cotton. 
















































_ MISSISSIPPI 
“Giving good field picking for both hand and me- 
chanical picking. Lint turnout 37% to 38%. Excel- 
lent classification for fiber strength shown by Coker 
100 Wilt.” 

King and Anderson 
Clarksdale, Mississippi 
NORTH CAROLINA 
“As you know, we have been operating an Inter- 
national cotton harvester during this fall. I thought 
you would be interested in knowing that we have 
found this variety of cotton (Coker 100 Wilt) to be 
very satisfactory for mechanical harvesting. . . We find that most of this 
cotton opens up within a very short space of time and that it fluffs out nicely 
so that it is easy for the spindles to get to the lint...” 
Geo. T. Ashford, Sec.-Treas. 
Liberty Manufacturing Co. 
Red Springs, N. C. 
GEORGIA 
“Coker 100 Wilt proved awful satisfactory with us. . . and harvested good 
with the mechanical picker. . . I believe the growers will all be satisfied with 
the Coker 100 Wilt cotton.” 
W. M. Clemones 
Route 3 
Rome, Georgia 
ALABAMA 
“Unquestionably your Coker 100 Wilt Resistant is the best 
cotton that we have planted on our farms. . . We harvested 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 resistant soils.” 
W. H. Smith, President 
Smith-McQueen Farms

Top right: Showing how spindle of mechanical picker easily contacts and 
gathers Coker 100 Wilt cotton from the wide open, fluffy bolls. 
Top left: Believe it or not, this picture of machine harvesting one of our 
seed increase fields Coker 100 Wilt cotton was not posed. You see, the machine 
is turned in a wide sweep at the end of a row that has just been picked, and in 
order to save backing up, is brought back into the field about five rows away, 
thus leaving open cotton on both sides of the row being ‘picked. 
Bottom left: Dumping the basket. This 700 Ib. load of seed cotton was 
harvested in approximately 20 minutes. 
Below: Since this cotton opens rapidly and completes its opening in a short 
time, it is possible to gather a high percentage of the crop with one time 
picking. Row on right has just been harvested by machine.
