WOOD'S NEW HYBRIDS 
After much additional breeding and testing we offer improved strains 
of several of our hybrids, selected for greater yield, disease resistance, 
and ears placed lower on shorter, stronger stalks. They were outstand- 
ing in experiment station tests where we saw them. We suggest you 
try both the old and new. 
WOOD'S S-210 and S-211 HYBRID GOLDEN PROLIFIC 
Most Popular, High Yielding Weevil Resistant, Main Crop Corn in the 
Cotton Belt, or Early Feed Corn in the Deep South. 
125 days. Developed from leading Southern yellow varieties by 22 
years breeding in the South. It is flinty and has long tight shucks. Ex- 
tremely prolific. It has deep roots, -wide leaves, and dark green color. 
It resists heat, drought and storms. Matures early. It has big golden 
grain, high in protein, vitamins and feeding value. Small cob. 
§-211. Several prominent N. C. hybrid seed growers declared ''the best 
eared up" and highest yielding corn they ever saw, 2 and some times 3 
good ears per stalk, excellent shuck, deep grain, high shelling %. 
S-210 has excelled many years in experiment station tests throughout 
the South. It was the high yielding early corn in Florida tests. It made 
104.1 bu. per acre with ''very light'’ weevil damage in Alabama. S-210n 
made over 100 bu. per acre in Williamsburg and Holland, Va., tests. 
N. C. S-210 made 111.6 bu. per acre in a coast experi- 
ment station test, with very little insect damage and good 
grain quality. In 1948 county demonstrations: It made 
103.1 bu. per acre, highest yield in Chowan. It out-yield- 
ed all yellow corns in Union, and in Hertford, making 109 
bu. per acre. S-210n out-yielded all yellow corns in 
Davie. It made the highest yield at Davie Co. Training 
School, out-yielding Dixie 17 10 bu., and N. C. 27, 45 bu. 
per acre. “My S-210 yielded over 100 bu. per acre. | 
will plant all my 1949 crop in it. It made 124.2 bu. per 
acre, winning Ist prize in Anson Co. for my son.'—W. W. 
Lowry. It made 110 bu. per acre, winning the Gaston 
Co. 4-H contest for D. Rhyne. It won 2 prizes in Rowan 
Co., 107.3 bu. for A. C. Fluck, and 104.7 for I. C. Shulen- 
burger. 
S. C.: Despite a severe drought, $-210 made 82.2 bu. 
per acre, highest yield of any yellow corn in 1947 Clem- 
son experiment station tests, 8.1 bu. more than N. C. 27, 
and at the S$. C. Coast expt. sta. it made 5.3 more than 
N. C. 27. It won the Edgetield Co. 3-acre corn contest. 
Georgia experiment station, 1948: S-210 out-yielded all 
yellow corns in the Piedmont.test at Experiment; made 
100.8 bu. per acre, out-yielding Tenn. 10, N. C. 27, etc. 
in a North Ga. test and yielded at the top in Upper 
Coastal tests, averaging 5.2 bu. over Dixie 18. It won 
the 5-acre corn contest for Ben Wright, Jefferson, Ga., 
making 120 bu. per acre. Athens, Ga., 1949: The S-210 V-51 has big sound ears, often

S-211 seed crop grown for us by Caledonia Prison Farm in N. C. Note 
heavy crop of ears, good shuck and stalk. 
WOOD'S V-50 and V-51 YELLOW DENT 
125 days. Our best feed corn for the Upper South. Makes bumper 
crops of big beautiful ears with deep grain, high shelling per cent and 
feeding value. It has everything desired in a hybrid: strong, vigorous 
stalks and roots, excellent dark green fodder, no barren stalks, ears uni- 
formly low, making harvest easy, resists disease, storm and drought. 
% V.P.I. recommends V-50 for Eastern Va., where it aver- 
aged 107 bu. 2 years; highest yellow corn in 9 tests, mak- 
ing 162.2 bu. per acre at Norfolk. It averaged 94.4 bu. 
highest recommended hybrid in all 3 Va. regions in 1948, 
11.6 bu. above U. S. 357. Made highest average yields 
in Middle Va. tests, and at Glade Springs in Western 
Va., averaging 107.3 bu. 2 years, 5 bu. above any other 
regular hybrid. 
In N. C. in 1948 it made the highest average yield of 
any corn in all 9 tests, and 144.8 bu. per acre at Cam- 
den, highest of any yellow corn in any test. It made the 
highest average yield of any yellow corn in all 5 Coastal 
tests, 7.3 bu. more than N. C. 27, and highest yellow in 
all Piedmont and Coastal tests, 4.4 bu. above N. C. 27. 
It made 112.4 bu. per acre at Currituck and 101.4 in 
Guilford Co. 
At Clemson, S. C., V-50 made the highest average yield 
of yellow corns for 2 years in the four tests, one of the 
highest yielding and strongest stalked yellow hybrids in 
North Georgia tests for two years. Pgf. V-51 has better 
yield, shuck, stalk and disease resistance. 
WOOD'S V-40 and V-41 YELLOW DENT 
115 days. High yielding early corn for the Mountains 
and North or early feed in the South. N. C. recommends 
Y-40 in the Lower Mountains, where it made high yields 
in tests 5 years with good grain quality. Many southern 
farmers plant part of their crop in it for early harvest to 
Y-36 has beautiful big sound ears with 18 rows 
of deep golden grain closely wedged on small 
cobs. High shelling per cent.

crop for higher elevations in Upper South. 
120 days. N. C. recommends V-35 for the moun- 
tains, where for 3 years it out-yielded all corns 
in experiment station tests, making 101.2 bu. per 
acre in Haywood Co., 99% of the stalks erect. 
It made 113.7 bu. in the Camden Co. test. 
W. Va. expt. sta. tests V-35 made 104.7 bu. per 
acre in Marion Co. and 96 bu., highest pro- 
duced hybrid in Gilmer. Ideal for mechanical 
harvest. High protein, vitamin and feeding 
value. Pgf. V-36 we feel will become the most 
popular feed corn in Va., as it is earlier and 
dries quicker, has lower stalks and ears and less 
fodder without sacrificing yield. It can be har- 
vested in time to plant fall grains. It was out- 
standing in a N. C. Coastal test, with big ears 
placed low on short stalks standing erect when 
adjoining hybrids were blown down by hurricane. 
seed small grains. Easy to harvest. No barren 
stalks. Pgf. V-41 has better yield, shuck, in- 
sect resistance, sounder grain, deeper golden 
color. Short stocky stalk. Ears low. 
"V-40 out-yielded any corn | ever grew 25 bu. 
per acre. Stood drought and storm better. 
I'll always plant it.'—G. F. Jarrett, Burke Co.. 
NvCtaa 
"V-40 withstood a storm that blew down other 
corn and yielded much better. Good height; 
matured well; good flinty corn."—J. E. Mil- 
burn, Summers Co., W. Va. ''V-40 stood storms 
better and out-yielded other corns 10 to 15 
bu. per acre.'—L. A. Kessinger, Giles Co., Va. 
V-41 has big beautiful long ears, 20 rows of 
deep grain. Small cob. High shelling %.
