We HOT WATER TREAT Our Foundation 
Seed of Wheat and Barley to Prevent Smut. We CERESAN 
TREAT all Wheat, Oats and Barley to insure better stands 
and Disease-Free Crops 
We are the largest Southern breeders and growers of small 
grain seed, growing 6,000 acres from the finest Registered or 
Certified Stock. To avoid mixing in the drill or combine, only 
one variety of a crop is grown on any one farm. No crop is 
planted in a field where any other small grain was grown last 
All fields are carefully rogued. 
Association closely inspect our breeding and producing fields.

season, 
THORNE is now the most popular 
wheat in Va., the Upper South and Hast. 
It made the highest yield of any wheat 
in the Va. High Elevation Experiment 
Station tests and yielded 48.3 bu. per 
acre in a Williamsburg, Va., test. It 
made highest yields in West Va., and in 
the 1950 N. C. Mountain tests, and 44.5 
Hue» per vacresinyashenns test. Tops at 
Clemson, S. C. 
NURED SMOOTH WHEAT 
An improved strain of Forward, same 
stiff straw, long full heads and big, 
plump grains, but more smut and rust 
resistant, higher yield and is replacing 
it. Highest in Penn. tests 6 years. At 
the top in Tenn. and Va. tests 4 years. 
Made a record of 49.2 bu. acre at Wil- 
liamsburg. It made the highest average 
yield of any wheat, including Atlas, in 
the 5 tests throughout N. C., in which 
it was entered in 1950. Earlier, shorter, 
more rust resistant than Vahart. 
CHANCELLOR SMOOTH WHEAT 
A new high yielding Southern wheat, 
resisting both stem and leaf rust, with 
fair mildew resistance, strong stray 
early maturing and more winter her , 
than Atlas and other rust” resi-"i is 
wheats. It has long, heavy heads, p .wséked 
with big, plump grain of superior mill- 
ing quality. It made higher averaze 
yields than any other wheats, including 
Atlas, in experiment station tests for 3 
years in N. C. Piedmont and Mountains, 
for 2 years in Virginia and 3 years in 
Alabama. It outyielded Coastal and all 
popular S. C. wheats at Pee Dee. 
VAHART SMOOTH Wii XAT 
Va. recommends it for its long record 
of high yields, stiff straw, and resist- 
ance to mildew, cold and loose smut. A 
selection from Redhart made at V. P. I. 
it averaged 11.4 bu. per acre more at 
the Williamsburg experiment station, has 
taller, stronger straw, larger, plumper 
heads, more winter resistance and later 
maturity. In 1950 N. C. Piedmont and 
Mountain tests it made the highest aver- 
age yield, outvielding Atlas. Most Va- 
hart is mixed. Ours is field rogued. 
REDHART SMOOTH WHEAT—Scarce 
Earliest maturing wheat. Recom- 
mended in S. C., N. C., Piedmont and 
Coast and Western Ky. Short, strong 
straw. Resists storms and stem rust. 
Wood’s Redhart outyielded Redhart 1950 
B, F, S. by 8.8 bu. acre at Pee Dee, S. C.

LEAP’S PROLIFIC 
SMOOTH WHEAT 
An old favorite variety that we in- 
troduced in 1907, still one of the most 
popular because of its long, beautiful, 
heavy heads, big plump grains and high 
yields. Recommended in Virginia Pied- 
mont and Mountains and North. It made 
the highest average yield in the 3 N. C. 
Piedmont 1950 tests, outyielding Atlas. 
Resists cold, mildew, smut, stem rust 
and lodging. Made 43.1 bu. per acre 
at Pa. Expt. Sta. 
HARDIRED SMOOTH WHEAT 
Recommended in S. C. and in N. C. 
Piedmont and Coast, where it made the 
highest average yield in 18 tests since 
1944, making 46.5 bu. per acre in a 1948 
test. Highest in North Ala. tests 4 years, 
making 47.3 bu. per acre in one test. 
Medium early. Resists rust and cold. 
Medium tall, stools profusely. Big heads, 
High milling quality. It made one of 
the highest yields in the Pee Dee, S. C. 
test, 35 bu. per acre to 28.6 bu. for Red- 
hart. 
LEE COLD PROOF OATS 
Recommended in Va., Md., Del. and 
N. J. Made highest average yield 11 
years in Piedmont, Va. tests. In 1950 
N. C. experiment station tests it made 
127.1 bu. per acre at Waynesville, and 
made the highest yield at Monroe, 96.6 
bu. per acre, and at Whitakers 76.7 bu. 
per acre. It made 6% tons of hay per 
acre in a N.C. test. Best winter oat 
in N. J., Del. and for 3 years in Md. tests. 
._ treme winter resistance. Highest test 
Weight grain. 
Tall, strong stalk. 
Calhoun Barley. W. C. Johnson, King 
Wm. Co., Va., says: “I will plant no 
other small grain but Calhoun barley, 
as it is so much more profitable. It 
made 75 bu. per acre to 14 for wheat 
and 50 for oats. It has extra large heavy 
heads and big plump grain. It has me- 
dium short, very stiff straw. Sown 2 
bu. per acre Dec. 23, it stood the winter 
and stooled to a perfect stand. I cut 
it and sowed soybeans 2 weeks before 
wheat and oats ripened.” 
It stools profusely. It has long com- 
pact heads that resemble smooth wheat, 
but is not as tall. It is highly shatter 
resistant, even when dead ripe. 
Wood’s small grain breeding plots being inspected by 
G. V. Flowers, our chief plant breeder; Dr. T. R. Stanton, 
chief oat breeder for the U. S. D. A.; our Bill Wood, and 
Ed. Shulkcum, in charge of Virginia Experiment Station tests. 
We constantly improve all our small grain strains. 
FULGRAIN OATS 
Earliest, shortest, stiffest straw and 
most popular recommended oat from 
N. C. and S. C. Coast and Piedmont to 
Miss. Ideal to combine. Tillers pro- 
fusely. Matures before hot weather. Re- 
sists rust and smut. Long, full heads, 
well balanced and fruit heavily. Plump, 
heavy grain. High feeding value. 
en Gene 
Wood’s Fulgrain 3 oats for stock seed 
passed registered field inspection require- 
ments with no variety or crop mixture 
weeds, or disease. Note the heavy yield 
of grain and stiff straw. In 1950 Pee 
Dee, S. C., test it considerably outyielded 
Fulgrain 1950 B. F. S., Arlington, Leto- 
ria, Stanton and other popular oats. 
VICTORGRAIN OATS 
Inherits the good qualities of Fulgrain 
with greater rust resistance and yield. 
Recommended in N. C. and S. C. Pied- 
mont and Coast and in North Alabama. 
Made 108 bu. per acre at Edisto, S. C. 
Tillers profusely, stiff straw, easy to 
combine. Long head. Big, plump grain. 
LETORIA OATS 
Has all good qualities of Lee but more 
rust and smut resistant. Recommended 
in N. C., Va., Piedmont and Coast, and 
western S. C. and Alabama. Wood’s Leto- 
rias were one of the highest yielding 
oats in Ala tests. Outyielded all winter 
oats in West Va. in 1948. Resists storm 
and cold. Heavy grain. 
STANTON OATS 
Recommended from Eastern Va. to 
Miss. Made a record 117.1 bu. per acre 
in a N. C. experiment station test and 
since 1945 the highest average yield in 
20 tests, and the most hay in 18 tests, 
average 6,200 lbs. acre. Mid-season, mid- 
tall. Stiff straw. Winter hardy. Our 
strain, selected from a few plants that 
survived a terrible winter kill several 
years ago, is more vigorous and higher 
yielding. In the 1950 Pee Dee, S. C., test 
it yielded 8.8 bu. more than Stanton 1949 
B. F. S. It outyielded Arlington, Ful- 
grain, Victorgrain and other popular va- 
rieties in the 1950 Florida test.
