WOOD'S V-45 For Late Planting 
small cob. It’s heavy root system and strong compact stalk 
helps it resist late summer heat, drought and wind or early 
frost. It makes a luxuriant plant growth with dark green 
color. It is excellent for grain or silage. V-45 had the 
highest yield and strongest stalk of any yellow corn in the 
four 1947 North Georgia experiment station tests. 
Planted late V-45 grows quickly and by frost can mature 
bumper crops of highest quality golden yellow feed corn 
high in protein, vitamins and feeding value. For years it 
has been most popular for late planting in the Mid-Atlantic 
and Upper South. It frequently makes two long solid ears 
per stalk. It’s grain is deep, flinty and tightly packed on a 
Va.: V-45 made 107.2 bus. per acre at an. Eastern Va. Experiment Station. 
It stood up well with ears low. High yield in 1947 Piedmont, Va., Experiment 
Station tests. “We thought our 38 acres of V-45 doomed by a severe drought, 
but it yielded exceptionally well, 90 bu. per acre in the low part. It was not 
affected by a late storm that blew down other corn.’—Mrs. J. C. Hamilton, 
Fauquier Co., Va. 
W. Va.: “V-45 withstood a heavy drought and yielded 2 ears 
per stalk, grows 3 stalks to hill. Has stocky stalks and deep root 
system. It made well over 100 bushels per acre.’—J. D. Skid- 
more, Webster Co., W. Va. 
N. C.: In 1947 N. C. Experiment Station tests V-45 made high 
yields from the Mountains to the Coast: 112.7 bu. per acre in 
Camden Co. and 101.8 bu. in Onslow Co. In Guil- 
ford Co. it outyielded N. C. 26 13.9 bu. per acre and 
N. C. 27 10.9 bu. In a Burke Co. test it made the 
highest yield of any recommended hybrid, 38.3% 
more than N. C. 27. 
Md.: In a 1947 Md. Experiment Sta- 
tion test V-45 yielded 94.5 bu. per acre 
with only 1% lodged plants; U. S. 13 
made 85.8 bu., U. S. 262 89.3, and U. S. 
357, 89.6.

V-25 Hybrid Extra Early Yellow Dent Yfiatures 
in about 3 months and is the best for short 
seasons of Mountains or North or extra late 
planting elsewhere. It is becoming extremely’ 
popular for planting after early potatoés.in Hast- 
ern Carolina, where Ea. Armstrong, of Tyrrell 
Co., harvested 87.4 bu. per acre with only 104%% 
moisture on Sept. 1st. Farmers there also like it be- 
cause it ears low on a short stocky compact stalk that 
does not go to stalk and leaf growth when planted on 
rich soil. In 1947 eleven N. C. farmers joined the 100-bu. 
Corn Club by planting V-25. 
It made high yields in W. Va. high altitude experiment 
station tests. “It was the best corn we’ ever raised in 
every way. Stood adverse weather conditions much bet- 
ter and yielded 100 bus. per acre.’’—A. McCutcheon, 
Fayette Co., W. Va. 
“V-25 has given excellent results at 2,650 ft. altitude 
for 4 years. It is not. tall; matures early; storm resist- 
ant. It outyielded our best local corn 17% bus. per 
acre.”—T. M. Calhoun, Grayson Co., Va. 
“V-25 did fine. Made 20 bus. per acre more than my 
old corn. One and two good ears per stalk. Withstands 
drought and storms. I prefer it to any corn I ever 
tried.”—C. R. Taylor, Fayette Co., W. Va.
