STONEVILI 
...A Service Institution! 

his 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.
