WOOD'S SOUTHERN HYBRID PROLIFIC CORNS 
Bred from High Yielding Southern Corns — Long Shucks, Weevil Resistant 
Hybrids for Virginia, Piedmont 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 hy- 
brids are earlier maturing than Southern local varieties. They ma- 
ture during the warmest part of our summer, usually early August. 
This results is poorly developed grain, (soft and starchy), and 
loosening of husks which are often too short. Both the poor qual- 
ity grain and loose husks make such corn very accessible to weevils 
during the late summer. By normal harvest time, it is not uncom- 
mon to find ears on which every grain has been punctured 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 qual- 
ity and weevil resistance, Southern varieties have an advantage in 
being more resistant to earworms and to bird damage because of 
their longer, tighter husks. 
Wood’s Hybrid Red Cob Prolific, S-310 sah rain Bel 
in 90 days. Bred from Neal’s Paymaster, Tennessee Red Cob 
and Whatley’s Prolific, and has same range of adaptation as the 
inbred lines. One of the highest yielding white prolific corns in 
the South. Drought, storm, and weevil resistant; prolific; has 
long tight shucks. Sound, flinty grain; small red cob, very good 
sheller. 
“Its big, heavy strong stalks withstood severe storms much 
better than other corns. It has the longest, hardest grain, no 
weevil damage, and twice aS many large sound ears per stalk as 
our leading local variety.”—-W. H. Pressly, County Agent, Allen- 
dale Co., S. C.

Prolific and St. Charles Red Cob. A big yielder and widest range 
of adaptation of any white corn in the South. Deep, hard grains, 
closely packed on a small red cob. Very prolific, 8 to 4 ears to a

strong, and have a very heavy root growth. Drought and storm

Single cross. Heaviest yielding and most weevil resistant white 
corn for the deep South. Deep, white, flinty grains on a small 
red cob; plants tall, vigorous; strong root, storm and drought 
resistant.

Wood’s Hybrid White Prolific, S-340 }2 patted pel es 
prolific corn from inbred lines of Latham’s Double, Wood’s 
Dixie and Hastings Prolific. Has the same range of adaptability 
as its inbred lines. Strong roots; drought, weevil, and insect 
resistant. Well protected by long, tight shucks. 
B. E. Timmerman, Edgefield Co., S. C., says: “All stalks bore 
two large ears and made a third more per acre than my other 
corn. I am well pleased with it and will plant my entire crop 
in it next year.” 
? = - ’ “i 130 Days. A very 
Wood’s Hybrid White Prolific, S-350 Livaor tania en is 
prolific from inbreds of Mosby’s Prolific, Wood’s Dixie and

tion as its inbred lines. Well protected by long tight shuck. 14- 
16 rows of deep flinty grain; small white cob; usually 3 ears to 
stalk. Weevil and drought resistant. 
“T planted it next to Whatley’s Prolific and find Wood’s Hy- 
brid White Prolific more drought resistant and yields more than 
any I ever grew before.”—A. L. Traylor, Richmond Co., Ga. 
Wood’s Hybrid White Prolific, S-360 135 Pays. One of 
the highest yield- 
ing white prolific corns in the South. Inbred lines from Mosby’s 
Prolific, and Hasting’s Prolific. Range of adaptation is same as 
its inbred lines. A very prolific line; usually 8 to 4 ears to a stalk. 
14 to 16 rows, small deep flinty grain on white cob; long, tight 
shuck. 
“T am well pleased with your hybrid corn. It is producing 10 
to 1 compared to a neighbor’s field planted under the same con-

Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific Corn 
Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific, S-210 129 Days. The only 
yellow corn to con- 
sistently outyield all white varieties throughout the South. In- 
breds are selections from Indian Chief, Wood’s Golden Dent and 
Jarvis Golden Prolific. Has the same range of adaptation. 
Plants are tall, strong and vigorous; 12-14 rows of beautiful 
golden grain. Ears well filled and kernels packed closely on a 
small white cob. Has a very high shelling percent; long, tight 
shuck. It matures early before late summer droughts, 
_“T made twice as much corn with Wood’s Hybrid Golden Pro- 
lific than I ever made on the same piece of land with regular seed 
corn,.’’—Wm. Carver, Hamblen Co., Tenn. 
“T averaged 90 bushels per acre on 12 acres this year, 35 bus. 
ber acre more than my regular corn.’’—Mr, Frank Baker, Shelby 
o., Ala. 
“T planted 3 acres of Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific on April 
15, dropping 14 inches apart. Used 100 lbs. 5-7-5 fertilizer per 
acre. Harvested around 40 bushels of corn per acre.”—Maynard 
Funchess, Orangeburg Co., S. C. 
Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific, S-220 13° Days. A con- 
sistently high 
yielding yellow corn for the South. Developed from selected in- 
breds of Hasting’s Yellow Prolific, Jarvis Golden Prolific and 
a yellow selection of Whatley’s Prolific, and has the same adapta- 
tion. A very prolific, vigorous, high yielding hybrid. Long, tight 
shuck protection. 
“Last year with Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific I made 1,435 
bushels of corn on 13 acres.’—J. B. Neill, Hamblen Co., Tenn. 
“Have planted your Hybrid Golden Prolific for two years, and 
will continue to do so. I am satisfied I have made, and will make 
this year, 10 to 20 bushels per acre more than with regular 
corn.’’—H, O. Byrum, Jackson Co., Ala. 
FLORIDA—It made the highest yield of any yellow corn in an 
experiment station test at Quincy. The experiment station 
recommends it highly as an early yellow corn for hogs. 
Wood’s Hybrid White Flint, S-370 135 Days. Weevil re- 
sistant selections from 
Whatley’s Prolific, Florida Flint and Cuban Flint. Range of 
adaptation northern part of Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. A 
very prolific and weevil resistant hybrid. Good yield of white 
flinty grain protected by a long tight shuck. A hybrid of merit 
for the deep South. 

Cultivate Hybrid Corn like any other variety. Although it 
increases yields on both poor and rich land, it pays to plant 
it on your best land and fertilize heavily.
