RESISTANT COTTON 

TURNS CHECK OVER TO HIS WIFE—J. W. Trunnelle of Cochran, 
Bleckley County, Georgia, has just received his check for $500 for winning 
first state prize in the 1948 Georgia 5-acre cotton contest. As any good 
husband should do, he is turning this check over to Mrs. Trunnelle. 
Mr. Trunnelle’s yield of 16,912 pounds seed cotton on 5 acres or 2.66 bales 
per acre made him Georgia’s champion grower for 1948. 
Here’s what he says about our cotton : 
“TI have been using Coker’s cotton seed for the past fifteen years, and I like it better 
than any variety of seed that I have ever used or planted. I might add further that at 
various times I have tried the many other varieties, more or less as a test to your Coker’s 
that I always plant, and I have not found any variety, in my opinion, that will equal the 
Coker’s seed in production and the other desirable characteristics of cotton. . .”
