GOOD PICKING WITH 
COKER 100 WILT 
Coker 100 Wilt is especially well adapted to 
hand or machine picking. 
The adaptation of a variety to harvesting 
with mechanical pickers is determined by the 
percentage of the total production that is har- 
vested, by the amount of trash in the machine 
harvested seed cotton, by the amount of trash 
left in the cotton after gin-cleaning, and by the 
effect of gin-cleaning upon the fiber. 
Coker 100 Wilt, being early and having fluffy 
bolls, thin foliage, and desirable plant type is 
especially adapted to machine picking. The 
ease with which it can be cleaned in the gin 
assures the grower of a sample with a minimum 
amount of trash and good preparation. 
Mechanical picking tests conducted by the 
Delta Experiment Station during the four 
years 1948-1951 and reported in the April 1952, 
issue of Mississippi Farm Research show that 
no other variety of cotton had a higher picking 
efficiency than Coker 100 Wilt. Furthermore, 
no other variety consistently gave higher 
grades, when machine picked, than Coker 100 
Wilt. 
LIKES PICKING QUALITY 
“We have grown your Coker 100 Wilt cotton 
for three years now and are convinced that it 
is the best adapted variety that we have seen 
in this territory. All of our neighbors are 
changing to this fine cotton. This cotton grows 
lateral branches that tend to turn upward 
rather than straight out. Coker 100 Wilt grows 
the lower branches upward enough to keep the 
bolls off the ground. We also like the picking 
quality very much. It is especially good with 
the mechanical picker. We have found that 
Coker 100 Wilt opens very uniform and that it 
grows off quicker than other varieties.”

VERY SATISFACTORY FOR 
MECHANICAL HARVESTING 
“T thought you would be interested in know- 
ing 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
