( OPEN PEDIGREE HYBRIDS 
Passed Crop Improvement Association Field Inspection. 
CERTIFIED TAGS will be attached to all bags after processing and bin 
inspection is passed. This takes time. Orders specifying ‘'certified"’ will 
not be shipped until certitied tags arrive. 
Our hybrid drying and processing plants are most complete. Seed 
goes through 9 types of processing machinery, to eliminate all but de- 
sirable flat kernels of strong germination that make healthy vigorous 
plants and bumper crops. Agricultural leaders, officials, and student 
groups frequently visit our plants and warehouses and are amazed at 
the precision of our cleaning processes. We invite your visits. 
We TREAT all hybrid seed corn to hasten germination, prevent seed- 
ling blight, especially during cold damp spells, reduce disease, and 
increase stands 5% to 25%. Authorities advise planting hybrid seed 
V4 thicker, fertilize heavily, top dress with nitrogen, and frequent shal- 
low cultivation. Hybrid corn with these practices increased the average 
N. C. corn yield from 19 to 31.5 bu. per acre. Hybrids are moving the 
Corn belt into the South. 
49 
Note tassels in 2 male rows. Female rows detasseled perfectly. All 
Wood's hybrid fields are inspected regularly and rejected if over 1% 
female tassels shed pollen. Many yield over 100 bu. per acre. 
DIXIE 17. 127 days. Recommended for planting from Eastern Virginia 
through the cotton belt. Similar to Tenn. 10 but has somewhat harder 
grain and better shuck protection. One of the highest-yielding hybrids, 
making many record yields; average 1.8 big heavy ears per stalk. 
Classed as white, it has a light copper color. Of vigorous growth; good 
for both grain and ensilage in both the Piedmont and Coastal Plains 
areas. 
TENN. 10. 127 days. Similar to description of Dixie 17 above, but is 
less prolific, averaging two ears on 67% of the stalks. 
IND. 750. 120 days. High yielding pure white hybrid recommended in 
Va., ears placed low, and few lodged or broken stalks. Medium short 
U. S. 357 makes bumper crops of big long ears high in feeding value. 
In 1948 experiment station tests it made 131.4 bu. per acre in Camden 
Co., N. C., and in Va. at Norfolk 112.9 bu., Holland 105.6, Williams- 
burg 102.2, and Onley 102 bu. per acre. 
U. S. 262. 125 days. Similar to U. S. 357. Is earlier and out-yielded it 
in experiment station tests several years, with less broken and lodged 
stalks. In 1948 tests it yielded 136.2 bu. per acre at Camden, N. C., 
and averaged more than any other recommended hybrid except V-50 
stalk. Excellent roots. Medium early. Resists smut, blight, stalk rot, and 
corn borer. Big sound ears, high milling quality. 
KY. 203. 123 days. Popular pure white milling corn. Big ear, deep 
grain, high shelling per cent. Excellent stalk and root. Recommended 
in Piedmont and Eastern Va. Averaged 101.6 bu. per acre for 2 years 
at all Eastern Va. experiment stations, and 104.5 bu. in Northeast N. C. 
tests. 
14 in all Va. tests. In the mountains plant early and fertilize well for proper KY. 72B. Like Ky. 203, out-yields it in East Va.; averaged 102.5 bu. 
7 maturity. 2 years. 
, U. S. 265. Similar to U. S. 262. Recommended in Va. U. S. 357 and U. S. 357A. 126 days. Most 
"y U. S. 99. 125 days. Similar to U. S. 357, but has larger, popular Va. certified hybrid. High yield, large 
broader grain with deeper golden color; is earlier, more 0" broad deep as light yellow color. 
prolific, ears placed lower; more vigorous foliage with Good husk, high stover yield eirongy oo} and 
deeper green color, broader leaves, better for silage: stalk. Resists blight. Recommended in Va. and 
Ca and has out-yielded it 4 years in all Eastern Va. tests and Northeast N. C. Good grain or silage. Late. 
ha averaged 9.6 bu. more in Northeast N. C. It is recom- 
an mended in both places. Made 138.9 bu. per acre at Cam- NS pce pela FOSS al eebni eel 
BR ee stigt to aseneus Gar. in N. C. and Va. Piedmontsand Coast and for 
ie is silage in N. C. Mountains and Va. 
U. S. 505. Yellow. 122 days. Top yields and highest 
Pa recommendation in Md. Big ears placed low. Short strong N. ©. 27. 127 days. Most popular yellow 
be lk. Earl Certified hybrid recommended through the 
bel stalk. Early. g 
Strong upright hybrid stalks at 
Christmas, while ordinary corn near- 
by was flat on the ground. 
U. S. 13. Yellow. 119 days. Most popular early certified 
hybrid. Va. and N. C. recommended it for the mountains 
where it has made good yields of high quality feed corn. 
It matures in time to plant fall grain. Has long beautiful 
sound ears, deep grain, highest shelling per cent, 83.8%. 
Open shuck, ideal for machine harvesting. Short strong 
stalk. Excellent roots. Many Northern farmers use it for 
silage, as it handles easily. 
ILL. 200 or KY. 103. 121 days. Va. recommends it for 
Piedmont and Mountains. Similar to U. S. 13 with all its 
advantages, but slightly later, better yield, sounder ear 
and deeper golden color. Early enough to follow with 
small grain. Ideal for mechanical harvester. Medium 
ear, husk, shank, stover and height. Strong stalk and root. 
Cotton Belt. Out-yielded all yellow corns ex- 
cept V-50 in 1948 Coast and Piedmont N. C. 
experiment station tests; had excellent shuck 
and grain quality; good weevil resistance and 
stalk strength; 58% of the stalks had 2 ears. 
N. C. 26. 127 days. Similar to N. C. 27. Rec- 
ommended for N. C. Piedmont and Upper 
Coast. 
DIXIE 44. 125 days. Averaged 105 bu. per 
acre in the 5 Eastern Va. 1949 tests; out- 
yielded by only one recommended yellow hy- 
brid, V-50. Has made top yields in Tenn., Md., 
and upper Carolina tests.
