WOOD’S CERTIFIED No. 23 SUDAN 
GRASS 
AN OUTSTANDING SUMMER HAY AND PASTURE CROP 
Produces about 25% greater growth than regular sudan, finer 
quality hay. Excellent for grass silage. Developed by selecting 
a large number of superior plants from ordinary sudan grass. 
These were tested many years under extreme conditions of heat 
and drought on different types of soil. Strain No. 23 proved 
superior to all others and produced 4 more hay or pasture than 
regular sudan. It has a stronger, more vigorous growth. It is 
more heat and drought resistant than most summer forage crops. 
It is an annual and cannot become a pest. It costs more than 
regular sudan, but is more economical to sow, requires less seed 
per acre. 20 lbs. broadcast or 8 lbs, cultivated rows, or sow with 
soybeans, cowpeas, ete. Our seed is State Sealed and Certified. 
For Grazing it is equal to blue grass as a milk producer. At 
one experiment station one acre per cow furnished abundant 
pasture for 125 days. The cows made a daily average of 3.8 lbs. 
more milk than they ever did on native grass. At the Middle 
Tennessee Experiment Station in a very dry summer, when perm- 
anent pastures were parched, two yearling steers gained 1% lbs. 
per day on sudan, a total of 287 lbs. in 92 days. They pro- 
nounced it the best of all dry weather grasses for the South. 
A state experiment station says: “In our tests throughout the 
state Sudan No. 23 has given an average yield of forage 18 per 
cent higher than common sudan. It matures a little later but is 
a more robust plant with broader leaves. The value of the extra 
yield to the grower is illustrated by the yield test:

WOOD’S YELLOW SOYBEAN 
150 Days. A splendid variety for bean production and hogging 
down in the Southern coastal section, It consistently yields more 
beans that other varieties, does not shatter, makes a vigorous 
growth with strong upright stems and deep root and is resistant 
to disease and storms. It is good for hay or soil improvement. 
W. D. Moore, Manager of the Southern Cotton Oil Soybean 
Crushing Plant, and for 18 years a leading soybean authority, 
says: ‘“Wood’s Yellow is as near shatter-proof and the best 
yielding soybean we now have. It contains more oil and protein 
and is well suited for oil mill purposes. The stalks stand erect 
and are easily combined. I combined out an average of 42.5 
bushels per acre on a 14-acre surveyed field. Another 12-acre field 
combined 43.2 bushels per acre. A 150-acre field averaged 35.5 
bushels per acre harvested by combine. I do not believe any 
other variety has ever produced such yields in this section, as 
others shatter so badly their yield would have been only a 
third of this. 
EARLY WOOD’S YELLOW 
130 days. The ideal soybean for all purposes in the South- 
ern Piedmont, or for early beans or hogging down further 
south. Matures September 10th, in time to plant fall grain. 
Everyone who grows Wood’s Yellow should plant part of 
their crop in Early Wood’s Yellow as it is 20 day earlier, yield- 
ing about the same. It is extremely prolific, outyielding other 
beans of the same maturity, Vigorous growth. Medium tall, 
strong upright stalks. Storm and shatter proof. Easily combined. 
Yellow oval, medium large seed with 22% oil. Ideal for oil mills, 
L. C. Davis, King ‘William Co., Va.: ‘The state inspector, 
county agent and farmers say my field of Early Wood's Yellows 
is the best soybean for either beans, hay or hogs. It yields a 
third to twice as much as any other soybean. Despite a bad 
season it grew so fast it crowded out crab grass which de- 
stroyed my Tokios. Its vines are completely filled with pods. 
It is ideal to combine as all pods ripened and leaves fell at one 
time. Not one bean has popped out.” 
Clemson 130 Days. Small brownish yellow seed. Produces 
a maximum yield of fine quality hay or Silage, 
hog feed and green manure per acre. More seed and 50% more 
hay than Otootan, It is a heavy bean producer, but is not 
shatterproof. “It makes far more hay or beans than anything 
I_ ever saw. 2,000 bushels from 75 acres.”—RE. Jones,

The tallest and heaviest produc- 
ing syrup sorghum, frequently 
yielding 175 to 200 gallons of 
syrup per acre, with a bright am- 
ber color and delicious flavor. Lat- 
er maturing than Sugar Drip and 
better adapted to the far South. 
Grows 12 feet tall with abundance 
of fodder and is the best sorghum 
for silage. Unfortunately much of 
the seed offered in the South is 
badly mixed with a similar, but 
non-saccharine variety, rendering 
the crop worthless for syrup. Our 
seed is of a pure strain grown 
from individual plants, field se- 
lected each year for tallest growth 
and maximum syrup production.
