WOOD'S SOUTHERN HYBRIDS 
Bred and Grown in the South 23 Years. Prolific. High Yields. Strong Stalks . Deep 
Roots. Long Tight Shucks. Flinty. Resist Weevil, Heat, Storm, Drought. To be 
adapted we breed, test and grow hybrids in each Southern region. It pays big to

S$-350 with 2 big sound ears per stalk, with 
deep grain closely packed on a small cob, 
long tight shucks, dark green foliage, strong 
vigorous stalk. W. M. Picket, Davidson Co., 
N. C., says the ears are much larger than 
Tenn. 10 grown beside it. 
A stalk of $-315 with 3 big solid ears held 
by D. W. Cope, Davidson Co., N: C. It 
was the highest yielding pure white corn in 
the 5 N. C. Coastal Experiment Station 
tests 3 years, averaging 131.5 bu. per acre 
in Camden 2 years, most prolific, best 
shuck protection and grain quality. 
plant hybrid !/4 closer, fertilize and top dress heavily. 
WOOD'S S-240 YELLOW, FLINTY 
Our Most Weevil Resistant, Heaviest Yielding Yel- 
low Hybrid in the Southern Coastal Area. 
Long tight shucks. Superior for grain or silage, 
high in vitamins, protein and feeding value. Leaves 
wide, long and close together. Vigorous; resists 
disease, storm, heat and drought. 
In 5 N. C. Coastal experiment station tests for 3 
years it has made high yields, with best shuck, in- 
sect resistance, grain quality, and stalk strength, 
averaging 123.6 bu. per acre in Camden Co. The 
3 Howard brothers in Pender Co., N. C., say their 
10 acres of S-240 is the best corn they ever grew, 
most uniform, 2 to 3 ears per stalk. 
"Our S-240 was the best corn in our tests with 
the longest, tightest shucks, most weevil resistant 
and also made over 100 bu. per acre in our 3A- 
Corn Contest.""—D. A. Shelley, Co. Agt., Barnwell, 
S: G, 
It made 118 bu. per acre, winning the Emanuel 
Co., Ga., corn championship and $100.00 for B. C. 
Hall. 
In Fla. experiment station tests it made the high- 
est yield in 1947, and in 1948 out-yielded local 
corns 51% in 5 tests. A Florida Agronomist says: 
"You can be justly proud of S-240." 
Made 96.9 bu. per acre, with very little weevil 
damage or lodging at Alabama Expt. Sta. 
WOOD'S S-350 WHITE PROLIFIC 
High Yielding White Milling Corn for Cotton Belt 
Bred from the best Southern prolific varieties. 
Makes finest quality corn meal. Deep roots, resists 
weevil, storm or drought; very prolific. ''S-350 had 
much longer ears and nearly doubled the yield of 
all other corns planted here.""—C. O. Batchelor, 
Nash Co., N.C. 
In N. C. experiment station tests it was rated 
tops in grain quality, shuck protection, insect re- 
sistance, and yielded 132.9 bu. per acre in Camden 
Co., and 100 bus. in Onslow Co. test. 
S-350 made a record yield in Chesterfield Co., 
S. C., 104 bu. per acre for Dan Jordan, 76 years 
old, who saved one of the stalks with 8 fully de- 
veloped ears. 
At the Alabama Expt. Sta. it made 98.7 bu. per 
acre with very little weevil damage or lodging. In 
an Athens, Georgia, Expt. Sta. test it made the 
highest yield of any pure white corn. 
WOOD'S S-315 RED COB PROLIFIC 
Heavy Yielding White Hybrid for the Cotton Belt. 
Brings a premium for milling. Resists Weevil. 
135 days. Very prolific. Sound flinty ears, big 
grain, small cob, high shelling percent. Strong vig- 
orous stalk and root. Long thick shucks. It made 
the highest yield in the Edisto, S. C., test: 102.1 bu. 
per acre; highest pure white corn in Clemson up- 
land test, and 113.9 bu. in lowland test. 
Best white corn in Ga. Upper Coastal Plain 1948 
tests. Out-yielded Tenn. 10 and all-pure white 
corns 2 years in 6 Ga. Mountain tests. Made 113.2 
bu. per acre with very light weevil damage at Ala. 
Expt. Sta.

A stalk of S-240 with such big roots T. J. Sans- 
bury (right) can hardly lift it. He grew 50 
acres of S-240 seed for us in S. C., renowned 
as the best crop in his county, estimated to 
yield 100 bu. per acre, 1/3 more than Douth- 
its, despite a bad season and hurricane. 
WOOD'S S-360 and S-361 WHITE 
Flinty, Weevil Resistant, for Deep South. 
140 days. High yield. very prolific. Bred 
in the deep South from most popular weevil 
resistant Southern varieties. Its hard grain 
makes the finest quality pure white corn meal, 
high in protein. Deep spreading roots, strong 
leafy stalks, Vigorous; dark green. Excellent 
combination grain and ensilage corn. 
S-360 made 119.8 bu. per acre with very 
light weevil damage in an Ala. test. Out- 
yielded Fla. W-1 in 3 tests in South Ga. with 
fewer suckers and broken plants. Made 91 
bu. per acre in Florence, S. C., test. Averaged 
129.4 bu. per acre for 2 years in a N. C. 
Coastal test, with excellent shuck and grain. 
We saw S-361 in the 1949 test, was more pro- 
lific with superior shuck and yield and stood 
well while other corns were blown down.
