WOOD’S EARLY CORNS FOR HIGH ALTITUDES 
For the North, and Early Feed in the South 
Grown in Virginia’s Rich Mountain Valleys where the Short Season is like New England 
Wood’s Seed Corns Are Treated with Semesan Jr. Free 
Practically all seed corn is infected with, some disease organism before 
or after planting. These diseases cause poor stands, often requiring 
replanting; they cause weak plants and stalks, moldy ears, and reduce 
the yield as much as 25 per cent. It is so important to protect seed from 
these diseases that we treat all our seed corns free of charge to you. 
This treatment hastens and increases germination, protects com from 
seedling blight, increases the stand 5 to 2S per cent, allows earlier plant¬ 
ing in cold, damp weather, reduces root rot, produces sturdier plants and 
stronger stalks that stand up better in storms, reduces the amount of un¬ 
sound corn at harvest, and increases the yield 4 to 20 bushels per acre.

Certified Clarage Early Yellow Dent 
—Matures in 99 days; roasting ears in 75 days; 7% feet tall. Our 
strain, grown in the mountains of West Virginia, is an ideal corn 
for sections with short seasons and for extra early feed in the 
South. Ears 7 to 8 inches long; 14 to 16 rows; small cob. Half the 
stalks have two ears. Stalks are short, stocky, storm-resistant 
and do not sap the land. Adapted to any soil, but on rich land 
should be planted close in the row. Clarage made the world’s 
record yield in Ohio—1,760 bushels on ten acres. The Virginia 
Coastal Station says: “Clarage is the best corn for early feed, hog¬ 
ging down or roasting ears. It is sound, little weevil damage, and 
shuck covers tip well.”
