WITH COKER 100 WILT-— 
MISSISSIPPI 
_ “We planted our entire cotton acreage of 1600 acres 
in your Coker 100 Wilt Resistant which has proven 
very satisfactory. .. The picking qualities for both hand 
and machine are excellent and it will play a big part in 
our mechanical set up.”

“We prefer Coker 100 Wilt cotton to any other varie- 
ty of cotton that we have planted before. .. We find 
that it makes more dollars per acre, the picking condi- 
tions are better than any other variety we have had 
before and the turnout is very satisfactory. . .”

“It was slightly earlier, had no wilt and the picking 
quality was excellent.”

“We are picking our cotton with mechanical har- 
vesters and find that this cotton has many of the quali- 
ties which fit into such a program. This cotton not only 
begins to open early but has a tendency to complete its 
opening early. This, plus its large and fluffy locks, 
make it a most desirable cotton for mechanical picking. 
Our field job with mechanical harvesters this year is 
the best we have ever had and I am giving Coker 100 
Wilt a large portion of the credit for this condition .. .”

“.,. . The picking quality of it is excellent and last 
year many pickers made a differential in the price of 
picking, when they were not picking Coker’s cotton. 
Many of them would pick Coker’s cotton for 50¢ to $1.00 
per hundred less than other varieties. In all our years 
experience with several other leading varieties we have 
never had as good experience as we are having with 
Coker’s 100.”

Although hand picking is much slower and the cost higher, no 
machine ever invented can compare with the quality of work done 
by a good, careful southern worker when cotton is first open and 
ready for the harvest.
