COKER 9Il =a x 
GROWER REPORTS 
In 1953 only small quantities of seed of Coker 911 were 
available for farmer planting. Following our established pro- 
cedure when a new variety is ready for release, we sent out in 
1953 sample packages of Coker 911 seed to farmers located in 
many parts of the South for observation planting and requested 
that they report to us on results obtained. In most cases, the 
seed supplied each farmer was enough to plant approximately 
one acre. The following statements are taken from among the 
many favorable reports received from these test plantings. 
“We like Coker 911. It is low, stands well, yields 
well, picks better than most. Our yield was 90 bushels 
per acre.”

“A good drought resistant variety. Stands up well 
and has excellent quality of grain. My yield on a l-acre 
plot was 104 bushels.”

“My Coker 911 yielded approximately 100 bushels 
per acre. I have never had a yield of over 75 bushels 
per acre with other varieties. Coker 911 has good drought 
resistance and good storm resistance. There was hardly 
a down stalk in the entire field.”

“My Coker 911 produced 75 bushels per acre, as com- 
pared with approximately 30 bushels per acre for other 
varieties. It has excellent drought resistance and a good 
quality of grain.”

“Coker 911 did remarkably well under drought con- 
ditions. My yield was 84% bushels on one-acre plot, which 
was a little heavier yield than Coker 811 and another 
competing variety. With proper season a heavy yield 
could be expected from both Coker 811 and Coker 911.”

“My Coker 911 stood up well, is drought resistant, 
and has a good quality of grain. Neighbors displayed 
much interest in my field.”
