WETSEL'S Adapted Seed Corn Hybrids 
IT PAYS TO PLANT HYBRID CORNS 

Rockingham River Bottom Cornfield 
U. S. 99 
120 to 125 days. Large-foddered hybrid, 
hence requires longer time for full maturity, 
Stalks do not grow tall but are thick, with 
broad blades. Enjoys favorable reputation 
as a Silage Corn. Kernels smooth and light 
yellow. Our stock of seed was produced by 
John 8. Ward. (Sold out.) 
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. 
ILLINOIS 200 
120 days. Each year we receive an in- 
creasing number of favorable comments 
on this Corn. Stalk somewhat larger than 
U.S. 18. 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. 


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. 
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. Is widely used in West Vir- 
ginia, where the season is shorter 
than in the Valley and eastern Vir- 
ginia. Is also appropriate for either 
late planting in full season areas, or 
where very early harvesting is de- 
sired. 
The time has arrived when control 
of Corn Ear Worm is neces- 
sary. At least control of this 
pest will greatly increase <x 
your yield. Ogen’s Corn Gis 
Ear Worm Drops are aeos 
simple to apply and 
will do you a ' 
good job. See 
page 30. 


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. 
Wood’s Hybrid Yellow Dent 
V-40 
115 days. ‘Similar to U. 8. 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.
