Wood’s Crimson Clover--U. S. Grown 
There is no better soil improving crop than Crimson 
Clover, making a fine winter and spring growth, furnishing 
abundant grazing from December to May, when green feed 
is so essential. Makes an excellent winter cover crop to 
prevent loss of soil fertility. 
Today, when acreage of most our cash crops are being 
curtailed under the A. A. A. Program, it is of vital import- 
ance to keep your land in the highest productive state. There 
is no better crop for this purpose than Crimson Clover. The 
seed we are offering is heavily cleaned and strictly U. S. 
grown. No importation of Crimson Clover have been re- 
ceived in this country for the past year and with the crop 
produced here less than one-half to three-fourths of our 
normal requirements we anticipate a shortage of seed before 
the planting season is over. 

Wood’s Special Pasture and Hay Mixture makes bumper hay crops in warm 
months and abundant pasture the year round. 






Based on 60 years’ testing on our own farms and under 
actual field conditions throughout the South, we have de- 
veloped the best possible mixtures for hay or pasture for : 
different types of soils. As few fields are uniform in fer- >; 
tility or drainage and rainfall varies each season, a mixture i 
of many grasses and clovers produce much larger crops than — 
a single grass or clover which frequently fails to make Bae. 
stand. Our mixtures contain different grasses and clovers is 
that thrive under practically all conditions. Our mixtures — 
contain 15 to 20% clover seed, increasing the protein, feed- — 
ing value and fertility of the soil. sa

WOOD’S NO-BARB BARLEY 
Since we introduced this barley in this section in 1939, it 
has grown in favor more and more each year. No-Barb is a 
smocth awn bearded barley, free from the sharp barbs that 
make the bearded barley so disagreeable to men and animals. 
It is a cross between Velvet and Bearded Winter Barley, de- 
veloped under severe winter conditions. Yields this year 
averaging over 50 bushels per acre in spite of unfavorable 
growing season. In Augusta County, Va., test in 1939, 
No-Barb made 53.4 bushels per acre against 38.2 bushels for 
Beardless and 41 bus. for Bearded Barley. At Williamsburg 
it made the highest 2-year acreage of 59.2 bus. per acre. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS, HAIRY 
VETCH AND RYE GRASS 
It appears at this writing (August 25th), that the crop 
of Austrian Winter Peas has been oversold, due to the short- 
age developed in the crop produced. Very few supplies will 
be available and it looks like an early sell out on this item. 
Hairy Vetch, on the contrary, appears to be in good supply. 
Rye Grass, owing to the enormous purchases being made by 
the Government and with the indicated short crop available, 
looks as though there will be a firm to higher market with 
a scarcity of seed available for late planting. The Govern- 
ment will no doubt use enormous quantities of Rye Grass on 
air field projects, and we believe the wise policy is to cover 
your needs on this item, as well as Austrian Winter Peas. 
A letter from Mr. S. F. Grubbs., Secretary of the Va. Crop Improvement Assn. 
(Mr. Grubbs makes a large percentage of all the field inspection of Certified Seed in the State of 
Virginia, and is the best posted man on field conditions in the State. This letter shows the importance 
this year of planting the best seed obtainable) : 
“Much wheat this year will contain weak, shriveled, scabby 
grains, which, if allowed to remain in the seed, will cause 
poor germination and loss of some of the wheat, sown, thereby 
causing irregular stands throughout the crop. Even the weak 
grain that do not carry the scab organism will likely fall a 
prey to diseases in the soil and produce crops of low quality, 
low yielding wheat. Fortunately, control measures are 
known that will give very good relief from this disease. 
All are practical and require only a little care on the part 
of the grower. First, land containing large amounts of or- 
ganic matter such as dead cornstalks, wheat straw, pea or 
soybean vines should be plowed so that this refuse will be 
covered up. If left on the surface it provides an excellent 
home for the winter spore stage of wheat scab.

WOOD’S BEARDLESS BARLEY 
There is probably no other crop that will give as much 
trouble, where it is to be used for hay. Many lots of 
Beardless Barley offered for seed are badly mixed with 
Bearded, making it most objectionable. In order to pre- 
vent this occurrence our enti-e stock of Pedigree and Cer- 
tified Barley has been field rosued and inspected by the Crop 
Improvement Association. Our strains have a high reputa- 
tion for trueness to type, free from mixture and are making 
bumper crops throughout the East. All grown from Cer- 
tified Seed. 
WOOD’S PEDIGREE ABRUZZI RYE 
The genuine strain grown by us from Certified Seed and 
field rogued. Many lots of common Rye have been used to 
the detriment of the Southern farmers. Genuine Abruzzi 
gives a much quicker growth, more winter coverage, earlier 
grazing—decidedly heavier yield per acre. Our Certified 
Seed in an official Southern test yielded over 43 bushels 
again common Rosen Rye 21 bushels per acre. Under fav- © 
orable growing conditions has yielded as high as 52 bushels — 
per acre.

IMPROVEMENT 
ASSOCIATION 
GROWN IN VIRGINIA 
“Seed wheat should be thoroughly recleaned and regardless 
of how sevére the shrinkage, it pays to remove all scabbed 
and shriveled grains, leaving only the plump, healthy ones 
for seed purposes. After the wheat has been thoroughly re- 
cleaned and an examination shows only plump, strong grains, 
it should be treated with the new Improved Ceresan. It is 
also well to keep in mind that the scab organism does not 
thrive in cool ground containing a reasonable amount of — 
moisture, so that this year it 1s recommended that wheat 
be sown at the latest seeding date that is safe for the section 
of the State in which it is to be grown. Good, healthy 
kernels which have been treated to remove any scab organ- 
isms that may be on the surface from contact with unhealthy 
seed, sown in cool, clean ground, will go a long way tower? 
providing a clean crop next year.”
