WOOD’S CERTIFIED SEED GRAINS 
THE LARGEST GROWERS OF CERTIFIED GRAINS 
IN VIRGINIA 
Out of a total acreage of 4,834 acres of Certified Seed 
Grains produced in Virginia under supervision of The Vir- 
ginia Crop Improvement Association, T. W. Wood & Sons 
produce 2,569 acres. In other words, more than half of 
the Certified Seed Grain acreage grown in Virginia was 
produced under our supervision..Only 479 acres were grown 
by all other seed dealers in Virginia combined, and the 
balance by individual growers. This information furnished 
in bulletin issued by The Crop Improvement Association, 
on July 16, 1945. 
We have always appreciated the great value to farmers 
in supplying them the best quality seeds obtainable, and 
the large acreage which we grow is evidence of this inter. 
est in supplying better seed grains for our customers. 
Fully 90% of all Wheat, Barley and Oats offered in this 
Crop Special were grown from Certified Seed. Our cus- 
tomers are assured of true-to-type seeds of the best qual- 
ity—tnreated with New Improved Ceresan—when ordering 
Wood’s Seeds.

SUNRISE BARLEY 
A smooth, practically awnless variety, with a good pro- 
duction record of high quality grain. Resistant to mildew 
and during a five-year period, has the highest grain pro- 
duction record in North Carolina of any other variety in 
the coastal plain and Piedmont tests. Adaptable to all sec- 
tions of the Carolinas and the Piedmont and coastal sec- 
tions of Virginia. 
WOOD’S BEARDLESS BARLEY 
A hooded variety, used extensively throughout the South 
for hay, silage, grain and seed production. Our seed stock 
is grown from certified seed, field inspected and rogued to 
prevent mixture, and is almost entirely free from bearded 
heads. The Beardless Barley which we are offering is a 
true strain, highly popular throughout the coastal states, 
and its increased popularity has caused a complete sell-out 
at an early date the past several years. It can be grazed 
throughout the East safely up until the Ist to 15th of 
February. 
Summer Grazing in Fall, Winter and Spriag 
~ 
WOOD’S GRAIN PASTURE MIXTURE 
Furnishes more grazing in less time and at less cost than 
any other fall crop. The grains are balanced with legumes 
to supply protein for growth and warmth during the winter. 
Includes every ingredient for continuous grazing through- 
out fall, winter and spring; highly recommended and used by 
leading farmers in the South. Contains the ideal proportions 
of Hairy Vetch, Austrian Winter Peas, Crimson Clover, Rape, 
Abruzzi Rye, Winter Barley, Winter Oats and Smooth 
Wheat. Sow 100 pounds per acre.

EARLY SEED GRAIN ORDERS ADVISABLE 
Continuous rains along the Atlantic coastal 
states from July 14th through the first weck in 
August, damaged a tremendous quantity of grain 
generally used for seed purposes. The hardest hit 
was Abruzzi Rye, which was fully 75% destroyel 
and very limited quantities are available this 
season. Many fields of wheat, oats and barley 
were not harvested, particularly in Virginia and 
other northern states, and these crops will be 
difficult to save even for feed purposes. 
All seed grain we offen was harvested before 
this wet spell of weather and is in A-1 sound 
cee oes grown under contract frcm certified 
seed.

IMPROVED LEE COLD PROOF OATS 
Strain 5 
A late maturing oat, exceptionally cold resistant. Made 
exceptional yields in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and 
Pennsylvania. One of the tallest growing winter oats, at- 
taining a height of five feet, making one of the best oats 
for growing for green feed or silage. Our contract growers 
this year obtained yields as high as 90 bushels per acre. 
FULGRAIN OATS—Strain 6 
A short strawed, early maturing oat. Stands up excep- 
tionally well and is outstanding in its yielding ability. Stiff 
straw, very storm resistant and ideal for combining. Re- 
markable uniformity in type and highly resistant to all 
types of smut. 
HARDIRED WHEAT 
Fast becoming one of the most dependable of all types. 
In the official North Carolina test, 1943-1944, it led all other 
varieties in yield. These tests were comprised of eleven 
made in the Piedmont and sixteen in the Coastal Plain sec- 
tion. With our contract growers this season it outyielded 
all other varieties by a wide margin. 
WONG BARLEY 
There is probably no other grain crop that has increased 
in popularity so rapidly as Wong Barley. Yields cbhtained 
for the past two years have ranged from 50 to 65 bushels 
per acre. Its characteristics are erect growth, does not 
lodge as other barleys, mid-tall, stiff straw, semi-bearded 
and extremely resistant to smut and cold. It is a rather 
green, broad-bladed barley in its early growth, which makes 
it a fine grazing variety. 
Mr. S. F. Grubbs, of the Virginia Crop Improvement Assc- 
ciation, says: “It is as good as any barley I have seen 
grown in Virginia, and probably better. Have never seen 
any barley stand up as well. An exceptionally easy crop 
to combine.” 
Small grains in combination with winter le- 
gumes, if properly managed and adequately 
fertilized, produce Fall and Winter grazing, 
which saves labor, reduces grain requirements, 
provides cheaper feed, makes healthier animals 
and returns greater profits. Besides furnishing 
a fine Winter cover crop that protects the soil 
from erosian. 
Start now to grow plenty of low cost, nutri- 
tious forage to feed your livestock during the 
Fall, Winter and Spring months. 
Early seedings are recommended and will 
give longer grazing. At planting time the use 
of a complete fertilizer is desirable and also 
100 pounds of Nitrate of Soda when the grain 
crop is two or three inches high. 
For this purpose there is no better mixtures 
to use than cur Wood’s Grain Pasture Mixture. 
It contains the right combination of grains and 
legumes which furnish the quickest grazing 
crop that can be put in during the fall months. We have ex- 
perienced an enormous increase in its use in recent years, 
which is good evidence of its wonderful value and dependa- 
bility amongst farmers in all sections of the Eastern States. 
Wood’s Grain Hay Mixture is also highly recommended where 
a quick hay crop is desired. 
WOOD’S HAY GRAIN MIXTURE 
The best early hay mixture possible to sow. Contains 
Winter Oats, Smooth Wheat, Beardless Barley, Hairy Vetch, 
Austrian Winter Peas and Crimson Clover. Sow at the rate 
of 100 pounds per acre.
