WOOD'S SOUTHERN PROLIFIC CORNS 
Ears Hand Picked, Tipped and Butted. High Germination. 
PEDIGREED. Most Southern corn breeders have neglected open polli- 
nated corns for hybrids, but we have continued to improve our varieties 
to make them better than ever, and our sales of open pollinated corns 
are increasing every year. In 1950 we grew 1857 acres of open polli- 
nated corn for seed, from the best pedigreed or certified strains, in iso- 
lated fields on some of the best corn land in the South. We rejected 
any field that failed the Crop Improvement Association field inspection.
