WOOD’S 
Famous 
Southern 
Ensilage 
Corns 
Wood’s Famous Southern Grown 
Ensilage Corns enable farmers to 
grow more silage on every acre. 
For years these corns have enjoyed 
a splendid reputation for ensilage 
purposes, particularly in the North 
and West—making larger and bet¬ 
ter crops than corns grown in other 
parts of the country. 
The past year was very favor¬ 
able for curing and maturing. We 
offer corns cured under natural 
conditions—unsurpassed in vigo¬ 
rous germination. 
“As a Silo Filler It 
Has No Equal” 
—that’s what one farmer says about 
it. An Ohio farmer writes: “It is 
the best silage corn I ever raised.” 
Another writes: “Somp of the 
strongest land made 100 bushels to 
the acre.” 
Write for prices of these corns 
that produce the most silage from 
the least land and labor.

CHARLES COTTRELL, Hoosick Falls, N.Y. 
The cover crop for early planting 
should be a mixture of rye grass and 
vetch, between one and three bushels to 
the acre, sown in July or early August, 
and plowed under as late as possible bo- 
ore the ground freezes in Fall. The late 
grower depends on rye. sown at the rate 
of one to two bushels per acre, to which 
six quarts of vetch, six quarts of clover 
mixture and four ounces of turnip seed 
may be added. 
It has been said that one man is equal 
to the spraying and cultivation of 20 
acres of potatoes, but this means cou-

tinuous labor, and there is not one man 
in 20 but would allow something else to 
interfere occasionally, for he must think, 
talk, and work nothing but the potatoes.
