WOOD'S ENSILAGE CORNS 
VIRGINIA GROWN—MORE TONNAGE, GRAIN AND FEEDING VALUE 
What Silage Corn to Plant 
In each area the hybrid, listed first, gives more 
grain, protein, vitamins and feeding value per 
acre. It better withstands drought or storm, 
grows more compactly, and is easier to cut 
and put through the cutterbox. It requires 
fewer acres to fill the silo, and what is left 
yields far more grain. 
Varieties listed second are the most popular 
open pollinated ensilage corns in their area: 
NORTH: Wood's Hybrid Red Sweepstakes, Yellow 
Sweepstakes Ensilage. 
UPPER SOUTH: Wood's Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes, 
Wood's Pamunkey Ensilage. 
DEEP SOUTH: Wood's S-240 Hybrid Yellow Flint, 
See page 48, Wood's Mammoth Ensilage. 
Wood's Hybrid Red Sweepstakes 
Silage 105 days. Ideal ensilage corn for East- 
ern and Northern dairies. Combines large 
stalk, abundant foliage, and heavy tonnage of 
Virginia ensilage corn with the earliness and 
heavy grain yield of the best Corn Belt Hybrid, 
making more nutrients per acre than either. 
Usually 2 big ears per stalk. “Planted June 
19th in one of the coldest, worst seasons, it 
made the only good sound corn on our farm, 
yielding over 20 tons per acre, twice as well 
as any ensilage corn | ever grew."'—I. Gillum, 
Montgomery Co., Md.

Dr. Singleton beside Wood's Hybrid Red Sweep- 
stakes, in the Conn. Experiment Station test, said: 
"It yielded 98.9 bu. of grain and 30 tons of green 
silage per acre, near the récord yield here, aver- 
aging 40% more grain and 35% more silage than 
other silage corns." 
Yellow Sweepstakes Ensilage 
Silage 108 days. Very large, broad grain; 
deep golden color. Large ears 12 inches long. 
Averaged 23 tons of silage per acre for 3 
years in New York tests. Earlier than Eureka, 
has more vitamin and feeding value, and aver- 
aged 15 bu. more grain for six years in tests 
in 9 states. Made much more silage per acre 
than Eureka in N. C. Mountain Expt. Sta. tests. 
Wood's Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes 
Silage 110 days. Makes a fast, vigorous 
growth, producing more combined silage, 
grain, protein, vitamins and feeding value per 
acre than any other ensilage corn of the same 
maturity from the Upper South to New Eng- 
land. Stockier, more compact stalk, deeper 
roots, stands up better and is easier to cut 
and put through the cutterbox. Silage is ex- 
tremely palatable and nutritious. Leaves are 
long, wide, close together, with deep green 
color that stays green through droughts and 
after the ears ripen. It yields as many ears as 
the best grain hybrids, but has larger ears 
and grain. Deep golden color. "It made big- 
ger and better ears than a leading hybrid 
field corn.""—J. K. M. Harrison, Fauquier, Va. 
A Virginia Expt. Station said: "It gave one 
of the highest grain yields of 60 hybrids tested. 
Higher percentage of grain to fodder. Stood 
up better in storms, often worth the increased 
cost of seed in the saving at harvest." 
D. H. Kuhn, Hardy Co., W. Va.: "It was a* 
good success, the finest of all corn grown in 
our valley.’ 
“It grew very heavy. Nice size stalk, with 
2 eqns —— hee Nichols.» BucksaGonera: 
Wood's Pamunkey Ensilage 
Silage 115 days. Averaged 23 tons per acre 
for 6 years in 9 state tests. Has an abundance 
of nutritious ears, usually a foot long, and 
broad thick foliage. Grows 13 to 16 feet tall 
with strong roots and sturdy stalks which stand 
up when shorter corns blow down, making it 
easier to put in the silo. Silage is nutritious 
and palatable. "For 3 years it yielded more 
than any other corn; 8 acres fills a large silo 
16 feet tall; stalks big around as an.ear of 
corn. Two large ears per stalk; sound grain." 
—M. B. Smith, Spartanburg Co., S. C. 
"For years Pamunkey has made outstanding 
yields of silage in the N. C. Mountains.""— 
P. R. Elam, Co. Agt., Madison Co., N. C. 
Wood's Blue Ridge Ensilage 
Silage 11] days. The broadest grain of any 
ensilage corn. Early maturing; very popular 
with dairymen in Ohio, West Virginia and 
Penn., who want lots of grain in their silage. 
Grows 13 to 15 feet tall. Matures earlier, has 
a thicker stalk, wider blade and more com- 
pact growth than Eureka; is easier to put 
through the cutterbox, and yields more grain. 
Virginia Eureka Ensilage 
Silage 115 days. Our strain had larger ears, 
more grain, and yielded 20% more silage than 
ordinary Eureka in the Mass. Experiment Sta- 
tion test. At the Conn. Station our strain made 
22 tons per acre, to 15 and 13 tons for Eureka 
from other growers. In a hurricane, ordinary 
Eureka was blown down, but ours was not 
damaged. Highest weight of grain and stover 
in a 3-year N. J. test of 75 varieties. 
Wood's Early Eureka Ensilage 
Silage 105 days. Similar to Va. Eureka, but 
preferred by many as it is earlier, yields as 
much silage with more grain, making the silage 
more nutritious and palatable. 

Greater yield, larger ears and taller, stronger stalks 
of Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes (left) compared toa 
good variety. 
Wood's Mammoth Ensilage 
Silage 120 days. Next to S-240 the best silage 
corn for the Deep South. Out-yielded other 
open pollinated varieties 3 years in experi- 
ment station tests, 35°%% to 50% more than 24 
other corns in one test. Made a record yield 
of 36.3 tons of silage per acre ih another test 
—double the average yield of 79 other varie- 
ties; was | to 5 feet taller; had 4 to 9 more 
leaves per plant; leaves averaged 46.5 inches 
long and not a single stalk broke down, when 
5% to 15% of the others lodged. Heavy 
grain producer, large ears, deep grain, high 
feeding value. “On poor broken down land it 
made the finest crop of silage we ever grew. 
2\/> acres filled a 70-ton silo that used to re- 
quire 6 to 10 acres. Some stalks were 20 feet 
tall with two ears, each over a foot long, and 
half again as heavy as other corn, with more 
ears to fodder. Its long roots and strong stalks 
enabled it to withstand a severe storm. — 
J. P. Fitzgerald, Nottoway Co., Va. 
Wood's Old Virginia Ensilage 
110 days to silage. Heavy yield of silage and 
grain. High feeding value. Leafy, stocky, com- 
pact, easy to harvest; large white ears; deep 
grain; good for silage or husking. “It made 
the best ensilage we ever had."—G. H. June, 
Huron Co., Ohio. 
West Branch Sweepstakes 
104 days. Early ensilage corn for the North- 
east. Red grain, long, large ears. In a Mass. 
test our strain made 22 tons per acre. 26% 
more than ordinary West Branch. 
IMPROVED LEAMING ENSILAGE—110 days. 
Our strain out-yielded western grown seed 
40°% in northern tests. Big ear and stalk. 
BIG GOLDEN ENSILAGE—116 days. Heavy 
yield of silage and grain, rich feeding value. 
Large ears, deep, golden grain. Big stalk. 
LANCASTER SURECROP—Popular for silage 
or grain in the North. Heavy yield of big 
ears 12 inches long. Stocky, leafy stalk.
