WOOD’S TREATED SEED OATS 
99% Pure. 90 to 100% Germination 
Wood’s Seed Oats are heavily recleaned, have large heavy kernels, and 
are treated against diseases that attack young seedlings. They will make 
vigorous, healthy plants that withstand winter freezes and make stronger 
stalks, larger heads, and greater yields of plump grain that is free of disease. 
Fall sown oats make much larger yields of both grain and hay than 
spring sown oats, prevent erosion and loss of soil nutrients that become 
available by winter freezing and thawing, furnish valuable winter grazing 
when animals most need green feed, and make a better nurse crop for 
grass and clover seedlings. Yet, many farmers lose their fall sown oats by 
winter killing by not planting Wood’s Treated Cold Resistant Seed Oats. 
Sow Oats in September or October three bushels per acre for grain or 
five bushels for hay on a well prepared seed bed, firm beneath with 2 to 3 
inches of mellow surface soil. Apply 400 lbs. WOOD’S STANDARD 
WHEAT FERTILIZER per acre. 
CERTIFIED WOOD’S IMPROVED LEE No. 5 
Heaviest Yielding Oat for Grain in Piedmont or Mountain Sections. Early 
Maturing. Highest Test Weight Per Bushel, Tallest, Most Winter Resistant, 
and Best Oat for Hay or Winter Pasture Anywhere in the South. 
For 15 years Lee has been the leading oat for grain or hay in North 
Carolina and Virginia. Our Strain No. 5 is an improved selection from Lee. 
It has consistently outyielded Lee, and all other oats for five years in the 
Statesville, N. C., Experiment Station tests, being the most winter resistant, 
having heavier grain, longer heads, taller stalks, and producing more hay. 
In the 1939 South Carolina test our Improved Lee made 95 bushels per 
acre to 51 for Fulghum—outyielding Coker’s Fulgrain Strains 2 and 3. 
It has large, plump, meaty kernels, weighing over 40 lbs. per struck bushel. 
CERTIFIED LEE COLD PROOF OATS 
Our Pure Certified Stock is Far Superior to Ordinary Lee Oats, 
Which Have Become Mixed and “Run Out.” 
Heavy prolific heads of WOOD’S PULGBAIN 
OATS. In the South Carolina test Pulgrain 
made 94 bus. per acre to 51 for Pulghum. 
Certified Fulgrain Cold and Smut Resistant 
Heaviest Yielding Oat for Southern Coastal Section 
More disease resistant, much larger, heavier grain, and 
earlier maturing than Fulghums. We predict it will shortly 
replace all other oats in the coastal sec¬ 
tion. Matures before hot weather and 
rust damage. Although not as cold re¬ 
sistant as Lee, it was not affected by a 
cold winter that damaged Fulghum. 
Stools well. Vigorous winter growth. 
Superior for winter pasturing. Tough 
straw. Large, well balanced heads. 
Beautiful, long, heavy grains with a 
rich reddish yellow color, thin hull, high 
per cent of meat and heavy test weight 
per bushel. State inspectors found no 
smut, rust or other disease or varietal 
mixture in our fields. 
including C. S. Hooper, of Spotsylvania County, Va., and T. H. 
Blanton, of Caroline County, Va. It is considerably taller, 
more winter resistant, stools out and grows more vigorously 
in cold weather than Fulghum or Fulgrain. Next to our 
Improved Lee No. 5, it is the best oat for hay or pasture 
anywhere in the South and best for grain in the Piedmont 
or Mountain section. 
Many customers who planted it last fall report yields of over 100 bushels 
per acre, 
CERESAN SEED TREATMENT IS CROP INSURANCE 
U. S. Department of Agriculture: “Treating seed wheat, oats and barley with 
Ceresan improves the germination, yield and quality of the crop. It controls seedling 
blight, covered smut, black loose smut, stripe and most other diseases of small grains. 
It has no effect on drill action or rate of sowing. Formaldehyde, copper carbonate, 
and hot water treatments cause injury to the seed and do not protect it as effectively 
as Ceresan.” 
South Carolina Department of Agriculture: “Seed grain treated by T. W. Wood 
& Sons was entirely free of smut. Seed treated by others showed 5% smut, while 
25% to 40% of untreated seed was destroyed by smut.” 
WOOD’S CERTIFIED SEED GRAINS 
INCREASE YOUR PROFIT 
It produced 15 to 35% higher yields 
than uncertified seed. Crops grown 
from CERTIFIED seed always sell at a 
higher price. Grown by us from the 
highest producing strains obtainable, 
they are field and bin inspected by the 
State Crop Improvement Association to 
insure trueness to type, purity, freedom 
from noxious weeds and disease, and 
germination over 90%. The additional 
cost of WOOD’S CERTIFIED SEED is 
insignificant compared to the extra 
profit. 
“Although planted very late, WOOD’S IMPROVED LEE No. 5 OATS grew un¬ 
usually well and made a tremendous yield. Several neighbors commented on its 
extreme winter resistance. The heads were longer and the straw taller than other 
Lee Oats. There was no sign of smut or other diseases. I will double my acreage 
in them this fall.”—Ellerslie Farm, King George County, Va.
