WOOD'S SOUTHERN HYBRIDS 
Bred ue Grown in ine South 23 Years. Prolific. Flinty. Heavy Shucks. Resist Weevil. 
"For 4 years S-240 made bumper crops of 
big, flinty ears, placed low on strong stalks; 
heavy shucks; resists weevil, disease, drouth." 
—E. C. Cooper, Cumberland Co., N. C. 
WOOD'S S-315 RED COB PROLIFIC 
Heavy yielding white hybrid for Cotton Belt. 
Brings a premium for milling. Resists weevil. 
135 days, Very prolific. Sound flinty ears, 
big grain, small cob. High shelling per cent. 
Strong vigorous stalk and root. Long thick 
shucks. Makes finest pure white cornmeal. 
It averaged 106 bu. per acre in the 3 1950 
N. C. Coastal experiment station tests. Wood's 
Hybrids made 4 of the 5 highest yields in the 
Hertford Co. test. S-315 out-yielded all white 
corns, had good shuck coverage and little 
weevil damage. 
Ga. experiment station recommends S-315 
for mountains where it had the best yield and 
stalk of pure white hybrids 3 years in 8 tests. 
Top pure white corn in a South Ala. expt. 
station test, and in a Clemson, S. C., test. 
"'S-315 is the best | ever grew, often 3 ears 
per stalk.’ J. T. Wright, Franklin Co., N. C. 
NEW HYBRIDS. Stalk, root and ear rot dis- 
eases have increased alarmingly in the South, 
causing many hybrids to fall and rot before 
harvest. To combat this we breed hybrids in 
each Southern region. We offer improved 
strains, selected for disease resistance, quicker 
ripening, greater yield, and ears placed lower 
on shorter, stronger stalks. 
WOOD'S S-240 YELLOW, FLINTY 
Our most weevil resistant, heaviest yielding 
yellow hybrid in the Southern Coastal area. 
140 days. Long tight shucks; heavy, solid 
ears and grain. Smooth dent. High vitamin, 
protein and feed value. Most prolific. Leaves 
wide, long and close together. Vigorous. Deep 
root system. Resists disease, storm, heat and 
drought. Superior. for grain or silage (p. 55). 
In N. C. Coast experiment station tests, 4 
years had the best shuck, insect resistance, 
grain quality, sucker habit and good yields; 
105.5 bu. per acre in the 1950 Southern test. 
Ga. ‘Wood's S-240 and S-360 are well 
adapted. Planted very late they grew off 
faster than any corn | ever saw. Without any 
rain made big yields of long ears. No root 
rot."—T. Bell, Camden Co. S-240 made 118 
bu. per acre, winning the Emanuel Co. Cham- 
pionship and $100.00 for B. C. Hall. 
Ala. experiment station: Made 96.9 bu. per 
acre, with little weevil damage or lodging. 
Fla. experiment station tests: S-240 made the 
highest yield in 1947. In 1948 it out-yielded 
local corn 51% in 5 tests. A Fla. agronomist 
says: "You can be justly proud of your S-240." 
Miss.: "'l like Wood's S-240 best of all hybrid 
| ever tried.""—E. L. Lee, Pearl River Co. 
S. C.: At the coast experiment station our 
highest yielding, most weevil proof hybrid, 
out-yielding N. C. 27 seven bu. acre. "10 acres 
of S-240 doubled the yield of my other corn, 
fertilized and cultivated alike. It stood 100% 
in Oct. with no insect damage. It is as hard 
and has as good shuck as | ever grew.""—T.R. 
Powers, Florence Co., S. C. 
WOOD'S S-350 and S-352 WHITE 
PROLIFIC. Milling Corns for Cotton Belt. 
130 days. Bred from highest yielding South- 
ern corns. Have big solid ears. Deep grain 
closely packed on small white cobs. High 
shelling per cent. Long tight shucks, dark 
green foliage, strong vigorous stalk, deep roots. 
Make finest quality pure white corn meal. 
S-350 made 132.9 bu. per acre in a N. C. 
experiment station test, with top grain quality, 
shuck protection, and insect resistance. It 
made a high yield with very little weevil dam- 
age or lodging at the Ala. experiment station 
$-352 we expect to become the most popu 
lar white milling corn in the Cotton Belt. N. C 
experiment station tested and approved it for 
Piedmont and Coast. It averaged over 100 bu. 
per acre in all Coastal tests, 1/44 more than 
Ky. 203 in N.E. test. University of Ga. reports 
it made a good yield despite extreme adversi- 
ties; dry weather, Sept. hurricane, epidemics 
of ear rot and army worms.; stood well. Low 
in ears damaged by disease or insects.

[50 
S-360 stalk with 3 big ears protected from 
weevil by long tight shucks. ‘50 acres stood 
up in a bad storm, had no disease and made 
a tremendous yield.'"—Johnson Bros., Sumter, 
SCs 
WOOD'S S-360 and S-361 WHITE 
Flinty. Heavy shuck. Resist weevil in Deep 
South. 140 days. Very prolific. Make finest 
pure white corn meal. Excellent grain or silage. 
$-360 averaged 129.4 bu. per acre 2 years 
in a N. C. Coastal test, with excellent shuck 
and grain. Ala. experiment station recom- 
mends Central and South Ala. try S-360. It 
yielded with the best, with little weevil damage. 
It won at the S. C. State Fair 2 years. T. S. 
DuBose, Sumter, S. C., planted S-360 6 inches 
apart for the 100-Bu. Club prize. It had 2 or 3 
good ears per stalk, vigorous dark green color, 
stood up in a storm that badly damaged near- 
by corn and is estimated to yield 150 bu. per 
acre. : 
$-361 is flintier, has better shuck, stronger 
stalk and root, is more weevil and disease re- 
sistant. It yielded over 100 bu. per acre 2 
years in Southern N. C. Coastal tests. 
"S-350 had 2 ears per stalk, the best corn 
ever grown here.’ R. B, Keeter, Grover, N. C.
