Seed Corn Hybrids 
U. S. 262 
115 to 120 days. Smaller foddered than 
U.S. 99, hence slightly earlier. Large ear, 
color light yellow; grain comparatively 
soft. Mr. Ward, producer of our stock, 
continues to be favorably impressed with 
its consistent performance. 
INDIANA 608 
About 110 days. A new variety in this 
section, but has long been popular in the 
Corn belt. Is a sort of half-brother of 
U.S. 18, as it contains two of the same 
inbreds. Is noted for uniformity of ear, 
growth and height. Medium stalk, with 
ears somewhat lower than U.S. 13. Grain 
is medium yellow, thick and unusually 
deep. Is a favorite of farmers who use 
machinery, as well as hand picking. Is 
exceptionally strong in early growth. 
IOWA 939 
100 days. An old and _ time-proven 
hybrid. Owing to short season maturity, is 
somewhat smaller foddered and eared than 
most hybrids. Thus far, it has been our 
best seller in West Virginia and other sec- 
tions where the growing season is com- 
paratively short. 
Wood’s Hybrid Yellow 
Sweepstake 
100 days. Used primarily for silage. As 
a short-season Corn it is one of the best 
ensilage strains. 
Wood’s Hybrid Red Sweep- 
stake--Ensilage 
110 days. Ideal for dairy farms, as it is 
one of the few hybrids developed especially 
for ensilage purposes. The very large, 
thick stalks make quick, vigorous growth, 
producing heavy tonnage and the maxi- 
mum amount of feed. 
Wood's Hybrid Yellow Dent 
V-40 
115 days. Similar to U.S. 13 and one of 
best yellow hybrids developed in Middle 
Atlantic section, especially adapted to 
conditions in Virginia, Maryland, and 
Kentucky. A good producer of large, 
sound ears and strong, drought-resistant 
stalks. Fodder rather short. Can be 
planted one-fourth closer than many 
hybrids. 
Wood's Hybrid Yellow Dent 
V-45 
118 to 120 days. Has many of the 
characteristics of Illinois 448.  Prolific- 
yielding hybrid, adapted to wide variety 
of soils of high fertility. Stalks tall and 
rigid. Resists high winds. Produces two 
yellow, long and medium thick ears. Ker- 
nels closely packed and deep, making it a 
high-yielding sheller. 

Wood's Hybrid Extra-Early 
Dent V-25 
95 days. A consistently high-yielding 
early yellow hybrid. Because of early ma- 
turity it is adapted to a wide range of 
territory. Uniform, medium height, 16- 
rowed ear of deep, medium rough grain. 
Its small shank makes husking easy. The 
husks open early after ripening, allowing 
the ear to dry to a low moisture content. 
Ears are medium in size, with small cob. 
Shells more Corn than most early hybrids. 
Highly recommended for early hogging off 
Corn, also gives fine results when planted 
late. Is adapted to altitudes up to 1800 
feet and soils of medium fertility. 
ILLINOIS 200 
120 days. Each year we receive an in- 
creasing number of favorable comments 
on this Corn. Stalk somewhat larger than 
U.S. 13. Ear is longer, but slightly smaller 
in circumference. Best results are obtained 
on fertile or bottom soils. Has given high 
yields, even under adverse weather condi- 
tions. Easy to husk and of excellent 
quality. 


ILLINOIS 448 
120 days. A high-yielding hybrid of 
wide adaptability. Stalks very tall and 
stiff, wind resistant, producing two long 
yellow ears of medium diameter. Kernels 
closely packed, medium depth, with high 
shelling percentage. Is becoming increas- 
ingly popular. A customer in Clark County 
advised us that her 1943 crop was the 
center of much interest in that community. 
ILLINOIS 784 
120 days. Larger foddered than, for 
instance, U. S. 13. Ears also somewhat 
larger. Accordingly, it requires about a 
week longer for maturity. Is a high-yield- 
ing Corn. Not suitable for short-seasoned 
areas. 
OHIO W. 17 
100 to 110 days. Another comparatively 
early hybrid. Stalks medium in height, 
leafy and uniform. Produces medium ears, 
16 to 18 rows of shallow kernels. Stalk 
remains green after husks have ripened on 
the ear.
