ENSILAGE CORNS 
Virginia Grown. More Tonnage, Grain and Feeding Value 
WHAT SILAGE CORN TO PLANT 
NORTH: Hybrid Red Sweepstakes, Yellow Sweepstakes, Early Eureka. 
UPPER SOUTH: Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes, N. C. 1032, Pamunkey. 
DEEP SOUTH: Wood's S-240 Hybrid, Page 50, or Pamunkey Ensilage. 
Wood's Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes Ensilage 
Silage 108 days. Fast vigorous growth, producing more combined 
silage, grain, protein, vitamins and feeding value per acre than other 
silage corns of similar maturity, from the South to New England. It has 
big strong stalks and roots. lts long wide leaves are close together and 
stay dark green after the ears ripen. Its silage is extremely palatable 
and nutritious. It yields as many ears as the best grain hybrids but has 
larger ears and grain, with deep golden color. If left to mature it makes 
a wonderful husking corn. Many farmers use it for grain as well as silage. 
It averaged over 20 tons of silage per acre in 2 Southern experiment 
station tests, 14'/. to 42% more than other corns, making the highest 
green or dry weight. It made 26!/> tons per acre, highest in the Rhode 
Island test. It was one of the highest yielding and strongest stalked 
yellow hybrids at the Georgia Mountain Experiment Station. 
"Hybrid Sweepstakes did very well. After filling our silos it husked 
out more than a leading grain hybrid.""—R. J. Christopher, Bergen Co., 
N. J. 
"We tried Hybrid Yellow against other silage corns 3 years and will 
plant all our crop in it next year. It makes as much tonnage, with better 
quality, more ears and feeding value than taller corns. It was not dam- 
aged by a bad storm that nearly ruined nearby corn. Most stalks had 
2 big ears.''"—Silver Springs Dairy, Moore Co., N. C. 
"| liked Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes fine for ensilage.""—J. J. Ander- 
son, 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. 
HYBRID YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES has stocky compact stalks, deep 
roots, stands up, and is easy to harvest by hand or machine. "'It is a 
real silage corn. In a very dry season it made a good growth and eared 
out well. | can't see how it made such a yield with so little rain."— 
G. L. Broaddus, Caroline Co., Va. 
Wood's Hybrid Red Sweepstakes Ensilage 
Silage 105 days. Ideal ensilage corn for East and North. Combines the 
large stalk, abundant foliage, and heavy tonnage of Virginia ensilage 
corn with the earliness and heavy grain yield of the best Corn Belt Hy- 
brids, making more nutrients per acre than either. Its strong stalks stand 
up better and are easier to harvest and put in the silo. It made the 
most feeding value per acre at several New England experiment stations. 
"For years about 9!/2 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."— 
|. Gillum, Montgomery Co., Md. 
Woods’ Pamunkey Ensilage 
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 ft. tall, strong 
roots, 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 fill a large silo. Stalks 16 ft. tall, 
big around as an ear of corn. Two large ears 
per stalk; sound grain.’'—M. B. Smith, Spartan- 
burg Co:, S.C. 
Virginia Eureka Ensilage 
115 days. Our strain had larger ears, more 
grain, and yielded 20% more silage than or- 
dinary Eureka in the Mass. Experiment Station 
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-yr, N. J. test of 75 varieties. 
Wood's Early Eureka Ensilage 
110 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 Old Virginia Ensilage 
112 days. Heavy yield of silage and grain. 
High feeding value. Leafy, stocky, compact, 
easy to harvest; large white ears; deep grain; 
good for silage or husking. "Best silage we © 
ever had.'""—G, H. June, Huron Co., Ohio. 
"For years Pamunkey has made outstanding yields 
f silage in the N. C. mountains.’ P. R. Elam, Co. 
Agt., Madison Co., N. C. 
Yellow Sweepstakes Ensilage 
108 days. Very large, broad grain; deep gold- 
en color. Large ears a foot long. Averaged 
23 tons of silage per acre for 3 years in N. Y. 
tests. Earlier than Eureka, has more vitamin 
and feeding value, and averaged 15 bu. more 
grain for 6 years in tests in 9 states. Made 
much more silage per acre than Eureka in 
N. C. Mountain Expt. Sta, tests. 
Wood's Mammoth Ensilage 
115 days. Out-yielded other open polinated 
varieties 3 years in experiment station tests, 
35% 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 Blue Ridge Ensilage 
111 days. Broadest grain; early maturing; very 
popular with dairymen who want lots of grain 
in their silage. 13 to 15 ft. tall. Matures earlier, 
has a thicker stalk, wider blade and more 
compact growth than Eureka; is easier to har- 
vest and yields more grain. 
West Branch Sweepstakes 
102 days. Early silage corn for the Northeast. 
Red grain, long, large ears. In a Mass. test 
our strain made 22 tons of silage per acre. 
26% more than ordinary West Branch. 
Lancaster Surecrop 
105 days. Popular for silage or grain in the 
North. Heavy yield of big 12-inch ears. Stocky, 
leafy stalk.
