WOOD'S HYBRID DENT CORNS 
For Area Between Cotton and Corn Belts, or Early Feed in South 
In the 1940 Chatham, Va., Experiment Station test all of Wood’s Dent and 
Prolific Hybrids yielded about twice as much as the leading local corn, Reid’s 
Yellow Dent. The Staunton, Va., Experiment. Station reports: “All of Wood's 
Hybrids came through our 1940 test in fine shape. Hybrid White Dent made one 
good large ear per stalk. Hybrid Yellow Dent matured early with two ears 
per stalk. Hybrid Golden Dent produced mostly one large ear, but a very 
good Cae Hybrid Golden Prolific should yield best with two good ears 
per stalk.” 
Appomattox, Va., Experiment Sta.: ‘“Wood’s 3 dent and 8 prolific hybrids 
all yielded from 82 to 89 bushels per acre.” 
“All Wood’s Hybrids stood the storms better than native corns, 
Hybrid Golden Dent and Hybrid Golden Prolific yielding much bet- 
ter. Hybrid Red Sweepstakes yielding very well. I do not hesitate 
to recommend them,’’—P. R. Jones, Chesterfield, Va., County Agent. 
“All Wood’s Hybrids stood up better: against heavy wind than 
local corn. Hybrid Red Sweepstakes grew very large. Hybrid Yellow 
Dent and Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes made good ears and growth.”— 
University of Virginia Experiment Farm. 
“Our tests prove Wood’s Hybrid Golden Dent and Hybrid White 
ent are good adapted hybrids.’’—A. B. Watts, Brunswick, Va., County 
gent. 
O. Buffaloe, County Agent, Anson, N. C.: “All Wood’s Hybrids out- 
yielded local corns 22% to 26%, resisting insects and drought better. 
It was the driest in 50 years, but the deep hybrid roots found moisture 
for growth and maturity. Hybrid Golden Dent outyielded the others. 
Hybrid Red Cob Prolific was the most drought resistant. 106 farmers 
witnessed this at 3 field meetings.” 
In the Clemson, S. C., test Wood’s Hybrid Yellow Dent considerably 
outyielded all white corns and made 24 to 538% more than any local 
yellow variety.

“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 YELLOW DENT 210, days., The improved ny- 
brid for the Southern Moun- 
tain Region, Northern Virginia, Maryland, Del., Ky., Mo., and Okla. Excel- 
lent early feed corn farther South. Bred from Reids and Virginia Yellow 
Dent, Lancaster Surecrop and Leaming. Similar appearance, earliness and 
adaptation, but sounder ears, stronger stalks, higher yield and drought re- 
sistance. 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. Tennessee—J. B. Miller, Montgomery 
Co. C. 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. I. Brumbaugh, and Ed Hollingsworth, Caroline Co. ‘It would have 
370999009 been the best investment I ever made if I had bought enough to plant my 
spspasancasseoiane song Iso 904 entire crop,” says H. L. Sullivan, Caroline Co. “It would have paid me 
ut well to have paid $25.00 per bushel for the seed. You did me a favor to sell 
Ee een it to me,.’”’—E. Tull, Caroline Co., Md. 
Virginia—oO. 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.’—E. L. Bemiss, Chesterfield Co. 
“Tt 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. Grant- 
ham, James City Co., Va. “We are’ well pleased with it. For 3 years it has

“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. 
outyielded our regular variety 25 bushels per acre.”—Retreat Farm, Cul- 
peper Co., Va. 
-WOOD’S HYBRID WHITE DENT 1215 days. Lange ve 
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; 
roasting ears in 80 days. Deep grain; good shuck protection. 
Bred from Wood’s Improved White Dent, Southern Snowflake, 
and Boone County; similar appearance and adaptation, but more 
storm and drought resistant, higher yield and larger, sounder 
ears. It made the greatest increase yield over local corns of any 
white hybrid in a Virginia Experiment Station test. It out- 
yielded many leading local corns in experiment station tests in 
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missis- 
sippi. 
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 85% more than local corns did 
on much better land. It brought a big premium for milling corn. 
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 Im- 
proved Golden Dent and Jarvis Golden Prolific. Similar appear- 
ance, adaptation and use, but better 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 
Ears a foot long.”—J. HB. Bryan, Wayne Co., N. C corn for this section. Stood up 25% better in storms than local 
It yielded several times as much for J. Gilmer than his father corns, more 2-ear stalks, deeper grain, less mouldy ears, ears well 
made with ordinary corn and won first prize at the Greensboro, placed.”—W. B. Ramsey, Smithfield, Va., County Agent.
