Lc’rfiri^H Lorn? that were bred many years for 
V.C.I IMICU highest yield, purity, resist¬ 
ance to disease and strength of stalk, under supervision of the 
Crop Improvement Association. They inspect each field to see that 
it is isolated from other varieties to prevent crossing. After har¬ 
vest they inspect the ears, which must be hand selected, true to 
type, sound, and germinate over 90 per cent. Certified seed not only 
produces larger yields, but the crop sells at a higher price per 
bushel. The additional cost of about 4 cents per acre for certified 
strains will pay you back in dollars at harvest time.

For Extra Early Peed —Clarage or Silver King. 
Por Medium Early Feed —Improved Golden Dent or South¬ 
ern Snowflake. 
Por Main Crop —Wood’s Golden Prolific, best yellow corn 
for all types of soil. Best White Varieties —For average land, 
Wood’s Dixie; for rich river bottoms, Hasting’s Prolific; for

Certified Wood’s 
Golden Prolific 
Matures in 128 days; roasting 
ears in 95 days; 9 feet tall. A 
yellow corn that yields as well as 
the best white variety under the 
most adverse southern conditions. 
The most prolific of all yellow 
corns, usually having two big 
beautiful ears on each stalk. Ears 
have 14 to 16 rows of large, long, 
flinty grain; deep golden color; 
small cob. 63 pounds of ear corn 
shells out 56 pounds of grain. 
Ears are protected from worms 
by a long, tight, thick shuck ex¬ 
tending nearly two inches beyond 
the end of the ear. It does well 
on nearly any type of soil. Except 
for its own hybrid strain it has 
consistently made highest yields 
of any yellow corn in Southern 
experiment station tests, holding 
the record in Virginia (93 bushels 
per acre), North Carolina and 
South Carolina. With yellow corn 
selling for more than white in the South, you can’t afford not to 
plant Wood’s Golden Prolific this year.

mended too highly for early roasting ears and late planting in any 
section of Alabama.” 
“The best corn we have raised this year throughout. It did not 
suffer from drought, wind or hail.”—Virginia Industrial School, 
Powhatan Co., Va.
