"20 acres of S-350 is the stalk. 
To be adapted we breed, test, and grow hybrids in each 
Southern region. We grow vast acreages in Va., all must pass 
Crop Improvement Association inspection; 1,000 acres in Md., 
1,000 in N. C., and many fields in S. C., and other Southern 
States. We just installed the most complete hybrid dryer in 
the South. Our hybrid seed now looks better than ever before. 
It is TREATED to hasten germination, prevent seedling blight 
and increase stands 5% to 25%. It pays big to plant hybrid 
closer and fertilize heavily. 679% of the corn in Va. was hybrid 
in 1947. 75% is expected in 1948. V.P.l. hopes Va. will be 
the first Southern State 100% hybrid. Average state yields 
rose from 13.5 to 33.5 bu. per acre and still rising as more 
hybrid is planted. N. C. hopes to double its average state 
yield of 20 bu. per acre in ten years through hybrids. 
Wood's S-240 Hybrid Yellow Flint 
140 days. Heaviest yielding, most weevil resistant, and des- 
tined to become the most popular yellow hybrid for crib or 
silage in the deep South. Grain and silage high in vitamin, 
protein, and feeding value. 15 days later than S-210, flintier, 
longer tighter shuck, bigger stalk, more fodder and more pro- 
lific. Leaves wide, long and close together. At the S. C. Coast 
Experiment Station it withstood a severe storm that flattened 
most everything but S-240 and S-360. Everyone who saw the 
big field we grew for seed in Southern S. C. declared it the 
best corn they ever saw. G. P. Templeton, Barnwell Co., S. C., 
says: ''My S-210 made 108.bu. per acre, the best corn | ever 
grew, but | am going to plant S-240 next year. It is more 
weevil resistant." 
Wood's S-315 Hybrid Red Cob Prolific 
135 days. Bred from Whatley's, Douthit's and Neal's Paymas- 
ter, it yields 1/3 more, is deeper rooted, flintier, and more 
weevil, drought and storm resistant. Its big pure white grain 
brings a premium for milling. High shelling per cent. 
Made the highest average yield of any pure 
white hybrid in the five N. C. Coastal Plain tests 
—92.7 bu. per acre in Camden Co., N. C., test. 
One of the highest yielding in Clemson, S. (Gy 
tests. In a Georgia test it out-yielded any other 
white corn. Has 2 to 3 big sound ears per stalk. 
"'S-315 suits me fine. Made 2 ears per stalk on 
my poorest land where other corn made only one 
ear or a nubbin.''—J. B. Murray, Washington Co., 
Tenn. 
''S-315 was the best white and S-210 your best 
yellow in our hybrid demonstrations.''"—J. E. Zim- 
merman, Co. Agent, Caswell Co., 
Wood's S-350 Hybrid White Prolific 
135 days. Bred from best Southern prolific 
varieties. Materially increases yields and 
quality of grain wherever prolific corns are 
grown in the South. High yielding white hy- 
brid in S. C. Coast Experiment Station test. 
Deep green foliage, strong stalks, deep roots 
withstands storm or drought. Makes finest 
quality corn meal. 2 to 3 ears per stalk. 
"S-350 had much longer ears and nearly daw 
bled the yield of all other corns planted here.'' 
C. O. Batchelor, Nash Co., N. C. 
"| planted 20 acres each of N. C. 26 and $-350: 
same time and conditions. N. C. 26 was very slow 
startinga»severely damaged by bud worm and 
weevil, and averaged | to 1I'4 medium ears per 
$-350 resisted bud worms. Its stalks aver- 
aged 2 big ears, protected from weevil and weath- 
er by tight shucks, and out-yielded N. C. 26 at 
least 10 bu. per acre.''"—W. H. Pridgen, Wilson

Wood's S-360 Hybrid White Flint 
140 days. The high yielding weevil resistant 
white hybrid longed for so many years in the 
Southern Costal area. Bred and grown in the 
deep South, where weevil destroy soft corns with 
poor shucks. Bred from the most popular weevil 
resistant Southern varieties. Similar to Fla. W-l, 
but has a higher yield and wider adaptation 
from Southern N. C. to Texas. More weevil proof 
than S-350, Its hard grain makes the finest pure 
white corn meal, high in protein. Extremely pro- 
lific. Makes as many big sound ears per stalk 
as the fertility and moisture permit. Deep spread- 
ing roots, big strong leafy stalks. Excellent com- 
bination grain and fodder or ensilage corn. 
Good poor land corn. A farmer in S. C. lost his 
regular corn due to drought and lack of labor 
and fertilizer, but made a good crop of S-360.
