WOOD’S SOUTHERN HYBRID PROLIFIC CORNS 
BRED FROM HIGH YIELDING SOUTHERN CORNS—LONG SHUCKS. WEEVIL RESISTANT 
Hybrids for Virginia, Piedmant Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee and Coastal Deep South 
Corn hybrids now available for commercial production have 
chiefly been developed for regions of shorter growing seasons 
than are found in the South. Because of this, most corn belt 
hybrids are earlier maturing than Southern local varieties. They 
mature during the warmest part of our summer, usually early 
August. This result is poorly developed grain (soft and starchy), 
and loosening of husks which are often too short. Both the poor 
quality grain and loose husks make such corn very accessible to 
weevils during the late summer. By normal harvest time, it is 
not uncommon to find ears on which every grain has been punc- 
tured by the weevil. On the other hand, local varieties grown in 
the same field will have only a slight infestation of weevils. 
In addition to quality and weevil resistance, Southern varieties 
have an advantage in being more resistant to earworms and to 
bird damage because of their longer, tighter husks.
