ENSILAGE CORN 
Wood’s Mammoth is the best ensilage 
corn for the deep South. Between the cot- 
ton and corn belts Wood’s Hybrid Red 
Sweepstakes is preferred. In the moun- 
tains, corn belt and Northeast Wood’s Hy- 
brid Yellow Sweepstakes is our choice, A 
flood destroyed most of the Pamunkey, Eu- 
reka and Blue Ridge crops. In ordering 
these, name a substitute to ship if stocks 
are exhausted. We suggest Wood’s Old 
Virginia Ensilage, a good, reliable, inex- 
pensive variety. 
Wood’s Mammoth Ensilage 74,8295: 
or Yellow strains. A large heavy yielding 
silage corn for the South. Outyielded other 
varieties 3 years in experiment station 
tests, 35 to 50% more than 24 other corns 
in one test. Made a record yield of 36.3 
tons of silage per acre in another test— 
double the average yield of 79 other varie- 
ties; was 1 to 5 feet taller; had 4 to 9 more 
leaves per plant; leaves averaged 46.5 
inches long, and not a single stalk broke 
down, when 5 to 15% of the others lodged. 
Heavy grain producer, large ears, deep 
grain, high feeding value. Requires 14 less 
acres to fill your silos, 
Wood’s Old Virginia Ensilage 
110 days to silage. Recommended by the 
Va. Expt. Sta. Heavy yield of silage and 
grain. High feeding value. Leafy, stocky, 
compact, easy to harvest; large white ears; 
deep grain; good for silage or husking. “It 
made the best ensilage we ever had,”’— 
G. H. June, Huron Co., Ohio. 
BIG GOLDEN ENSILAGE—116 days. 
Heavy yield of silage and grain, rich feed- 
ing value. Large ears, deep, golden grain. 
IMPROVED LEAMING ENSILAGE—110 
days. Inexpensive. Our strain outyielded 
western grown seed 40% in northern tests, 
RED COB ENSILAGE—115 days. Tall 
leafy stalk, large ear, deep grain. 
“WOOD’S MAMMOTH ENSILAGE on 
poor broken down land made the finest crop 
of silage we ever grew. 2% 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 corn, with more 
ears to fodder. Its long roots and strong 
stalks enabled it to withstand a severe 
storm.”’—J. P. Fitzgerald, Nottoway Co., 
Va. 

Wood’s Hybrid Red Sweepstakes 
110 days to silage. In Middle Atlantic and 
Central States it produces the maximum 
yield per acre of silage, grain, protein, vita- 
mins and feeding value. Quick vigorous 
growth. 100% of its tall, thick, stocky 
Stalks stood up in a storm last summer that 
blew other varieties down as much as 50%. 
Its wide leaves are close together and stay 
green after the ears ripen. Two big ears 
per Stalk, large red grains. Stalks usually 
weigh a fourth more than equally tall 
stalks of other varieties, with more grain 
and feeding value. A cross between in- 
breds of Pamunkey and West Branch 
Sweepstakes, it has outyielded other en- 
Silage varieties and hybrids in experiment 
station tests in practically every eastern 
state, producing 29.3 tons of silage per acre 
in one test, 60% more than leading local en- 
Silage varieties. It outyielded the leading 
local variety and 37 hybrids in a Newark, 
Del., test, had no barren stalks, and 99% 
sound corn. 
This State Bulletin picture shows why 
more WOOD’S ENSILAGE CORN is used 
than from any other grower. Lots 8 and 4 
are WOOD’S. 1 and 2 same variety from 
other sources. 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES — 104 
days. Early ensilage corn for the north- 
east. Red grain; long, large ears. In a 
Mass. test our strain made 22 tons per acre, 
26% more than ordinary West Branch. In 
the N. Y. test it was taller and better eared 
than other strains. 
_YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES —108 days. 
Largest, broadest grain of any yellow corn. 
Large ears 12 inches long, golden color. 
Averaged 23 tons per acre in N. Y. tests, 
16 bus. more grain than Eureka.

Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes (left row), 
compared to a good variety. “It made a 
fine stalk yielding much more grain than 
Reid’s Yellow Dent.’’—G. B. Allison, Rock- 
bridge, Va., County Agent. 
Wood’s Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes 
100 days. The best ensilage corn where 
seasons are short, or where part is left for 
husking. A cross between inbreds of the 
best early husking corns and Yellow Sweep- 
stakes. It produces considerably more 
grain and silage than standard ensilage va- 
rieties and has much stronger stalks. Vir- 
ginia Expt. Station says: “It gave one of 
the highest grain yields of the 60 hybrids 
tested. Higher percentage of grain to fod- 
der. Stood up better in storms, often worth 
the increased cost of seed in the saving at 
harvest.” 
D. H. Kuhn, Hardy Co., W. Va., “It was a 
good success, the finest of all corn grown 
in our valley.” B. H. Allen, Burlington Co., 
N. J.: “It surpassed any corn I ever planted 
and was more resistant to corn borer. The 
stalks and ears were very large, foliage 
thick, and started right at the ground.” 
Connecticut Expt. Sta.: “It yielded 98.9 
bushels of grain and 80 tons of green silage 
per acre, near the record yield here, averag- 
ing 40% more grain and 35% more silage 
than other ensilage corns.” 
WOOD’S PAMUNKEY ENSILAGE — 115 
days. Averaged 23 tons per acre for 6 years 
in 9 state tests. Strong roots, large sturdy 
stalks. Stands up when shorter corns blow 
down. “For 8 years it yielded more than 
any other corn. 8 acres fills a large silo; 
16 feet tall; stalks big around as an ear of 
corn. Two large ears per stalk. Broad, 
sound grain.’—M. B. Smith, Spartanburg 
Co. pone 
WOOD’S EUREKA ENSILAGE—115 days. 
Our strain made larger ears, more grain 
and 20% more silage than other Virginia 
Eureka in Mass, state test, and 22 tons per 
acre to 13 for other Hureka in Connecticut 
tests. 
WOOD’S EARLY EUREKA—105 days. 10 
days earlier than Eureka; yields as much 
silage and more ears. Deeper grain. 
WOOD'S BLUE RIDGE ENSILAGE—105 
days. Grown on a Blue Ridge farm that 
produced this original strain for genera- 
tions. Broad large grain; earky. Makes lots 
of grain in the silage: Compact, easy to put 
through the cutter-box,
