We are growing vast acreages of hybrid seed corn in Va. under supervision of the Crop

1,000 in N. C., and more in other states in the 
Upper South. We operate extensive breeding 
and testing stations in all these states, 
Wood’s V-50 Hybrid Yellow Dent 
125 Days—This new hybrid is “stealing the 
show” in the upper South. Everywhere it was 
planted last year farmers are repurting it so 
superior to other yellow bybrids they and 
their neighbors will plant their entire corn 
crops in it this year. It was declared the out- 
standing new yellow hybrid by officials at a 
hybrid demonstration in Va. In one test it 
yielded over 100 bus. per acre. In a Md. test 
it made 37% more than 3 leading local corns. 
V-50 has everything desired in a hybrid; 2 
large solid ears per stalk, deep grain, high 
shelling per cent, long tight shucks, excellent 
fodder with deep green color, strong medium 
tall stalks; ears uniformly low, making har- 
vest easy, extremely drought, storm and dis- 
ease resistant. A farmer counted 47 stalks 
. before finding one without two good ears and 
hybrids I grew last found no barren stalks. We think it will be the 
CG. most popular hybrid in the Middle Atlantic.

Wood’s V-125 Hybrid White Dent 12° Pays—— This new 
, hybrid is proving the 
highest yielding pure white corn for milling in the Upper South. 
Matures quickly in early fall. In the Southern Coastal Area many 
farmers say it matured when no corn was on the market. Millers 
hauled it from the field, paying the farmers more than they got for 
their main crop. Many made a double profit by selling roasting 
ears then let the rest mature to sell mills. Delicious, tender roast- 
ing ears in 85 days. Usually two big sound ears per stalk, very few 
nubbins and no barren stalks. Largest ears of any white hybrid, 
10 to 12 inches long. High shelling per cent. Long tight shucks ex- 
tend 21%4 inches beyond the tip. Most disease resistant corn in 7 
state tests. Short stocky stalks. Ears low. 



Wood’s V-125 has beautiful, extra large ears with 20 rows of deep 
pure white grain closely wedged on a medium small cob. 
Wood’s V-60 Hybrid Golden Dent 12° Pays—Best, main 
crop yellow feed corn 
for light to medium land in the Upper South. Highest yielding 
weevil resistant early feed corn in Southern Coastal Area, where 
every farmer should plant part of his crop in it. Roasting ears 85 
days. Bred from Wood's Improved Golden Dent. Should replace 
it wherever used. 2 big ears per stalk. Good shucks. Ears low.
