“Wood’s Hybrid Yellow Dent ears a foot long with deep close- 
ly wedged grain covering tip and butt. Made 205 bushel ham- 
pers per measured acre on land that had been in corn the past 
7 years, and stood up in severe storms that blew down other 
corns so bad they could not be cut with a binder. My own va- 
riety only made 85 hampers.”—W. G. Brokenbrough, Richmond 
Co., Va. = 
WOOD’S HYBRID WHITE DENT 
115 days. Large ear and high yielding white corn for the 
region between the Cotton and Corn Belts. A splendid early feed 
and roasting ear corn in the deep South; protested? in 80 days. 
Deep grain, good shuck protection. Bred from ood’s Improved 
White Dent, Southern Snowflake, and Boone County, similar ap- 
pearance and adaptation, but more storm and drought resistant, 
higher yield and larger, sounder ears. It made the greatest in- 
crease yield over local corns of any white hybrid in 1939 Virginia 
Experiment Station test. It outyielded many leading local corns 
in experiment station tests in Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Ten- 
nessee, Kentucky and Mississippi. 
The following Virginia farmers attest to its superiority over 
leading local corns in yield, storm and drought resistance: 
George Evans, Campbell Co.; J. R. Wray, Henry Co.; Ralph Tow- 
ler, Charlotte Co.; H. T. Harvey, Appomattox Co.; T. R. Mar- 
shall, Westmoreland Co.; D. H. Crosby, Essex County Agent; 
F. B, Grear, Wise Co., and W. B. Ramsey, County Agent. 
‘Tt was not blown down like six local corns and outyielded 
them 48 to 50 bushels per acre; had longer shucks and was the 
most weevil resistant.’”—G. A. Muths, Mobile Co., Ala. 
“On poor white sand it yielded 35% more than local corns did 
on much better land. It brought a big premium ee milling corns. 
Ears a foot long.’”—J. E. Bryan, Wayne Co., N. 
It yielded several times as much for J. Gilmer than his father’s 
corn made and won first prize at the Greensboro, N. C. fair.

“woods Hybrid White Dent has no short unfilled ears, 
withstood wind storms, is well adapted and outyielded 
all corn ever grown on this farm.’”—A. Bottom, Prince 
Edward Co., Va. 
WOOD’S HYBRID WHITE PROLIFIC 
125 days. High yielding, weevil resistant, white cob, white 
prolific corn in the Cotton Belt. Outyielded Whatley’s Prolific 
and other leading varieties in Alabama, Carolina, Virginia and 
Louisiana, and other Southern experiment stations. Bred from 
Wood’s Dixie, Latham’s Double, Hasting’s and Mosby’s Prolific, 
same adaptation, but better ears, shuck protection, stalks, roots 
and yield. ‘It thrives better on medium soils, outyielding our 
best local corn; stronger roots and. stalk.’”—O. E. Evans, 
County Agent, Craven. N. C. “It grew 5 weeks in steady rain 
without cultivation, stood 3 weeks in flood water up to the ears 
without rotting, then dried out and matured a record yield of 
excellent feed corn; 15 acres filled both cribs; the only cron in 
this Alabama River flood area to make any ears fit for feed. 
All my neighbors will plant it next year.”—J. B. Wells, Dallas 
Co., Ala. W. E. Beard, Monroe Co., Ark., planted 4 peck and 
harvested 130 bushels. A western hybrid only made 50 bushels 
en the save average sandy land. |

WOOD’S HYBRID YELLOW DENT 
110 days. The imvroved hybrid for the Southern Mountain 
Region, Northern Virginia, Maryland, Del., Ky., Mo., and Okla. 
Excellent early feed corn farthen South. Bred from Reid’s and 
Virginia Yellow Dent, Lancaster Surecrop and Leaming. Similar 
appearance, earliness and adaptation, but sounder ears, stronger 
stalks, higher yield and drought resistance. Short stocky stalks. 
Plant 4 closer in the row. It outyielded local corns 25% in the 
Perquimans, N. C., test. 
_ The following farmers attest to its superiority over local corns 
in yield, storm_and_ drought resistance: North Carolina—J. W. 
Hayes, Lenoir Co.; O. E. Evans, Craven County Agent. Tennes- 
see—J. H. Miller, Montgomery Co; L. Liggett, Davidson 
Co., says: ‘Despite long hard rains interfering with cultivation, 
followed by severe drought, 30 acres made a wonderful yield 
while nearby corn crops failed.” Maryland—J. T. C. Hopkins, 
Cecil Co.; A, L. Brumbaugh, and Ed Hollingsworth, Caroline Co. 
It would have been the best investment I ever made if I had 
bought enough to plant my entire crop,” says H. L, Sullivan, 
Caroline Co. “It would have paid me well to have paid $25.00 
per bushel for the seed. You did me a favor to sell it to me.’— 
E. Tull, Caroline Co., Md. 
Virginia—O. M. Carr, Clarke Co.; N. E. Revell, Northampton 
Co.; George Carter, Albemarle Co.; J. R. Lintner, Loudoun County 
Agent. “I planted it so close neighbors predicted a failure, yet 
it made 115 bushels per acre on land that never made over 30 
before.’’—H. L. Bemiss, Chesterfield Co. “It made 90 bushels per 
acre to 55 for our other corn. Grown it 3 years. Highly 
pleased.’’—Lindon Farm, Culpeper Co., Va. ‘It withstood a bad 
hail storm. 12 acres yielded 1,080 bushels. Two ears per stalk.” 
A. E. Grantham, James City Co., Va. ‘We are well pleased with 
it. For 3 years it has outyielded our regular variety 25 bushels 
per acre.’’—Retreat Farm, C ulpeper Co., Va. 
_ Of the 33 hybrids tested at the Delaware Experiment Station 
it stood at the top in yield, standability and sound corn. A severe 
storm blew down 79% of the stalks of local varieties, but only 
19% of its stalks. It outyielded them nearly 20%. 
WOOD’S HYBRID GOLDEN DENT 
115 days. Large sound ear and high yielding yellow hybrid for 
Southern Piedmont Region and Tenn. Most weevil proof early 
feed corn in the Cotton Belt; ideal to fatten hogs, roasting ears 
in 82 days. Bred from Wood’s Improved Golden Dent and Jarvis 
Golden Prolific. Similar appearance, adaptation and use but bet- 
ter ears, stalks, roots and yield; large, flinty golden grain; long 
tight shuck; earlier, larger ears and grain than Wood’s Hybrid 
Golden Prolific; better on light land. Outyielded all local corns 
24 to 61% in Wayne Co., N. C., test. 

“Wood's Hybrid Golden Dent, an excellent hybrid, is the best 
corn for this section. Stood up 25% better in storms than local 
corns, more 2-ear stalks, deeper grain, less mouldy ears, ears well 
placed.”—W. B. Ramsey, Smithfield, Va., County Agent. 
WOOD’S HYBRID GOLDEN PROLIFIC 
120 days. Consistently outyields other yellow corns in experi- 
ment station tests throughout the Cotton Belt. The most prolific 
and weevil proof yellow hybrid. Long, tight shuck. Resistant 
to heat, drought and hurricane. Matures early, before late sum- 
mer drought. Bred from highest yielding Southern yellow corns; 
Indian Chief, Jarvis, Good’s and Wood’s Golden Prolific. 
Virginia, 1939, Expt. Sta. tests: It made 26.9 bushels per acre 
more than local corn at Williamsburg and 22.6 bu. increase at 
Chatham, greatest increase of any of the 64 hybrids tested. “It’s 
the best I ever grew, 2 ears per stalk, 85 bu. per acre without 
fertilizer. Corn Belt hybrids were too early, made only one ear 
per stalk, and a poor yield.’—R. A. Harris, Powhatan Co. 
South Carolina: It holds the record corn yield for all experi- 
ment station tests. Higest for 5 years at Summerville. Best 
yellow corn at Florence. In 1940 Clemson test it considerably 
outyielded all white corns and made 25% to 30.7% more than 
local yellow corns. “Grown it 4 years. In a severe drought it 
made 850 bushels on 10 acres; has gone over 100 bu. per acre. 
Won’t blow down like other corns.’’—C. W. Bauknight, Oconee 
Co. ‘30 acres outyielded all other corns 50% under same con- 
ditions.’’-—J. W. Cook, Barnwell Co. 
Alabama: It made the highest average yield in 1939 tests at 
the 8 experiment stations and best for 4 years in Central and 
South Alabama tests. “10 bushels planted on 120 acres made 
6,000 bushels of the finest quality, beautiful eared corn. Much 
of it 75 to 100 bushels per acre.’—Dr. T. M. Martin, Dallas Co. 
North Florida Expt. Sta.: It outyielded all popular yellow 
varieties. Highly recommended for hogs. “It proved very satis- 
factory. Planting more next year.’—H. Holmes, Jefferson, Fla. 

Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific made 156.7 bushels per acre, 
North Carolina 4-H record, winning $100 prize for McRoy Gore, 
Columbus Co. It made over 120 bushels per acre, officially 
checked, in 6 other N. C. counties, including Shelby Co. record 
for R. H. Russell. In a terrific drought it made 125 bu. per acre 
for Ben Black, Cabarrus Co. Despite extra cost of hybrid seed 
his total cost to produce this crop was 14 cents per bushel.
