WHAT SILAGE CORN TO PLANT 
For more grain, protein, vitamins and feeding value per acre, drought or storm resistance. 
| Requires fewer acres to fill the silo, and what is left yields far more grain.

“WOOD'S HYBRID RED SWEEPSTAKES 
Silage 105 days. Ideal ensilage corn for East and North. Combines large stalk, abun- 
dant foliage, and heavy tonnage of Virginia ensilage corn with the earliness and heavy 
grain yield of the best Corn Belt Hybrids, making more nutrients per acre than either. 
| Its strong stocky stalks stand up better and are easier to harvest and put in the silo. 
D. H. Kuhn, Hardy Co., W. Va.: ''It was the finest of all corn grown in our valley." 
i} "For years about 9!/p acres filled my 200-ton silo. Many stalks were 16 ft. tall. | also 
planted it for grain as it yielded 120 bus. of ears per acre.''"—B. Hudson, Boyle Co., Ky. 
"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, double any silage corn | ever grew." 
Hl —|. Gillum, Montgomery Co., Md. 
| 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 other ensilage corn of the same ma- 
| turity from the Upper South to New England. Stockier, more compact stalk, deeper roots, 
stands up better and is easier to cut and put through the cutterbox. Silage is extremely 
palatable and nutritious. It yields as many ears as the best grain hybrids, but has larger 
ears and grain. Deep golden color. It averaged 20 tons of silage per acre in two Virginia 
;,|| Expt. Sta. tests, 14!/5 to 42 per cent more than other corns; making highest green and dry

weight. Made 26!/ tons per acre, the highest in Rhode Island test. It was one of the high- 
'est yielding and strongest stalked yellow hybrids at the Georgia Mountain Expt. Sta. 
"Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes did very well. Some of it left after filling our silos husked 
‘out more than a leading grain hybrid.''"—R. J. Christopher, Bergen Co., N. J. "I liked 
Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes fine for ensilage.""—J. J. Anderson, Monongalia Co., W. Va. 
"It made bigger ears than a leading hybrid field corn.""—J. K. M. Harrison, Fauquier Co., 
Va. ‘It grew very heavy. Nice size stalk, with 2 ears.""—F. Nichols, Bucks Co., Pa. 
Yellow Sweepstakes Ensilage 
HYBRID YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES has big strong 
Leaves are long, wide, and 
PRICES IN FRONT OF CATALOGUE 
for six years in tests in 9 states. Made 
much more silage per acre than Eu- 
reka in N. C. Mountain Expt. Sta. tests. 
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. 
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. It 
made the highest weight of grain and stover in 
a 3-year N. J. test of 75 varieties. 
Lancaster Surecrop Silage 105 days. 
Matures 113 days. Popular for silage or grain 
in the North. Heavy yield of large Reddish 
yellow ears a foot long. Stocky leafy stalk. 
HYBRID RED SWEEPSTAKES fills silos from less acres. 
What is left yields more grain, frequently 2 big ears per 
stalk. Made the most feeding value per acre in 1947

VIRGINIA 


Rhode Island and Vermont tests. 
Wood's Early Eureka Ensilage 
Silage 108 days. Similar to Va. Eureka, but 
preferred by many as it is earlier, yields almost 
as much silage with more grain, making the 
silage more nutritious and palatable. 
Wood's Mammoth Ensilage 
Silage 120 days. Out-yielded other open poli- 
nated varieties 3 years in experiment station 
tests, 359% to 50% more than 24 other corns in 
one test. Was taller; had 4 to 9 more leaves 
per plant. Heavy grain producer, large ears, 
deep grain, high feeding value. 
Wood's Old Virginia Ensilage 
Silage 110 days. 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. ‘Best silage 
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 of silage per acre. 
26% more than ordinary West Branch.
