The hard seeds of the flinty hybrids are able to withstand more adverse condi- 
tions of soil temperature and moisture after planting than the northern soft dents. 
They also mature more rapidly and the grain is injured less by unfavorable 
weather in the fall. Plants are susceptible to injury by high temperature and low 
humidity resulting in desiccation which may kill the leaves’ and tassels and pre- 
vent pollination. It has been proven that southern inbreds and crosses have a heat 
and humidity tolerance that is inherited. 
Final Results to You: Deep-rooted, strong stalks; leafy, upstanding corn with 
a good sound mature ear of high feeding value; corn that saves you labor in 
planting, cultivating and harvesting; corn that yields more per acre, year after 
year, in both good and poor years. ; 
Thousands of hand pollinations are made each year in Wood’s breeding nurseries 
where new and improved inbred lines and crosses are being developed for the still 
better Wood’s Hybrids of the future. Bred in the South, these inbreds are culled 
for southern climatic conditions. Only inbred lines that survive in the hotter 
humid seasons of the South are used in Wood’s Corn Hybrids.
