WOOD’S ENSILAGE CORNS 
GREATER TONNAGE, MORE GRAIN and FEEDING VALUE. Ideal for Dairy 
Farms in the North and Piedmont and Mountain Sections of the SoutlL 
After 12 years our breeders in Virginia have developed two hybrids expressly for 
ensilage purposes with the tall stalk and heavy tonnage of Southern Ensilage Corn, 
the earliness of Northern corn, and considerably more grain and feeding value than 
either. They are crosses between inbreds of the heaviest grain yielding early en¬ 
silage corns and the tallest southern ensilage varieties. They make a quick vig¬ 
orous growth, producing the maximum amount of feed possible in short seasons. 
Their tall, thick, stocky stalks have stood up in storms that blow other varieties 
down. They have wide leaves, close together, that stay green after the ears ripen. 
Usually two big ears per stalk, with large grain. Stalks usually weigh considerably 
more than equally tall stalks of other varieties, with more grain, protein and feed¬ 
ing value. If left to mature, they make wonderful husking corns, outyielding regu¬ 
lar field varieties. Many farmers who originally grew them for silage are now also 
using them for grain production. 
WOOD’S HYBRID YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES—We heUeve this is the ideal en¬ 
silage corn for the short seasons in the high mountain sections, extending from 
Vestern North Carolina, through West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania, New 
York and New England. A cross between inbreds of the heaviest producing early 
yellow corn and Yellow Sweepstakes. 100% of the stalks remained standing in 
our tests after a severe storm last summer. “Wood’s Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes 
not only made a fine stalk, but yielded 18% more grain than Reid’s Yellow Dent.’’— 
G. B. Allison, Rockbridge, Va., County Agent. 
WOOD’S HYBRID RED SWEEPSTAKES —Tests for many years show this the 
ensilage corn for the Southern I’iedmont and Valley sections through Maryland, 
Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut. A cross between 
selected inbreds from Pamunkey Ensilage and West Branch Sweepstakes. 
WOOD’S MAMMOTH ENSILAGE—The heaviest 3 delding silage com for the South. 
For three years it outyielded all other varieties in experiment station tests, yield¬ 
ing more than 24 other leading silage corns in one test. Made a record yield of 
36.3 tons of silage per acre in another test—almost twice as much as the average 
yield of 79 other varieties; was 1 to 5 feet taller; had 4 to 9 more leaves per plant; 
and not a single stalk broke down, although 5 to 15% of the other varieties lodged. 
It is a heavy grain producer, has large ears, and high feeding value. It requires 
a third less acreage to fill your silos. 
WOOD’S PAMUNKEY—Averaged 23 tons of silage per acre in a six-year summary 
of experiment station tests in nine states. 
“I have grown Wood’s Pamunkey Ensilage three years. It yields more tonnage 
than any other corn. It grows 16 feet tall, wdth stalks as big around as an ear 
of corn. It makes a big yield of sound grain; two 10-inch ears to the stalk. Grain 
large, broad and flinty. Eight acres fill a large silo. I filled seven silos and had 
twelve acres left for feed corn.”—M. B. Smith, Spartanburg Co., S. C. 
CERTIFIED EUREKA ENSILAGE—-Our strain had larger ears, more grain, and 
yielded 20% more silage than ordinary Virginia Eureka in the Massachusetts 
Experiment Station test. In the 
Connecticut tests our strain made 
22 tons per acre compared to 13 tons 
for Eureka from other sources. 
Hybrid Sweepstakes in the corn experiment sta¬ 
tion test where it made record yields. 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES—Earliest maturing standard ensilage variety. In a 
Massachusetts test our strain yielded 22 tons of silage per acre, 26% more than ordinary 
West Branch Sweepstakes. It was taller and better eared than other strains in the 
New York test. 
WOOD’S OLD VIRGINIA ENSILAGE—We offer both WHITE and YELLOW Strains. 
Leaves close together; easy to harvest, and makes a high percentage of grain. It has a 
deep grain and makes an excellent husking corn if not cut for silage. Highly recom¬ 
mended by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. 
WOOD’S BLUE RIDGE ENSILAGE—The broadest, largest grain of any ensilage com, 
early maturing, and very popular with dairymen who want lots of grain in their silage. 
Compact and easy to put through the cutter-box. Our seed is grown on a farm in the 
Blue Ridge section that has produced this original strain for a generation.

WOOD’S YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES —Earlier than Eureka and averaged 15 bushels more 
grain in the six-year summary of tests in nine states. It has the largest, broadest grain 
of any yellow corn, deep golden color, and large ears 12 inches long. It averaged 23 
tons of silage per acre in three New York tests. The North Carolina Mountain Experi¬ 
ment station says: “We ran a test of many varieties to locate a satisfactory yellow 
ensilage corn and found Wood’s Yellow Sweepstakes considerably outyielded Eureka. 
If it will do so consistently, it is just what we want. We will plant more of it next year.” 
WOOD’S MAMMOTH ENSILAGE: “On 
poor broken down land made the finest crop 
of silage we ever grew. ZVz acres filled a 
70-ton silo that used to require 6 to 10 
acres. Some stalks were 20 feet tall with 
two ears, each over a foot long, and half 
again as heavy as other com, with higher 
percentage of ears to fodder. Its long roots 
and strong stalks enabled it to withstand 
a severe storm.’’
