$-210 with 5 big solid ears placed low on 
2 short sturdy stalks. “It was very profific and 
made 103 bu. per acre to 89 for U.S.357 grown 
alike.’’—S. Kvasnicka, Dinwiddie, Va. 
WOOD’S $-210 GOLDEN PROLIFIC 
127 days. Flinty, good shuck, resists weevil, 
disease, heat, drought, storms. Ouityields S-211 
and N. C. 27, has shorter stalks, is earlier and 
better than main corn crop in the Southern 
Piedmont, or early feed in the Coastal area. 
Bred in the Upper South 22 years from leading 
southern yellow corns. Deep roots, wide leaves, 
dark green color. Grows off fast, matures 
early, dries quickly. Big golden grain, high feed 
value, small white cob, high shelling per cent. 
Excelled many years in tests throughout the 
South. In a Clemson, S.C., test it made the 
highest yield of any yellow corn, 8.1 bu. more 
than N.C.27 and 5.3 more in a S.C. Coast test. 
It won the Edgefield Co., S.C., 3-acre corn test. 
Made 111.6 bu. per acre in a N. C. Coastal 
test with very little insect damage and good 
grain quality. Made 124.2 bu. per acre, tops in 
Anson Co., N.C. At 6 Ala. expt. stations it out- 
yielded N.C.27 and Dixie 17, and Dixie 18 30% 
with larger ears placed a foot lower. Ga.: 100.8 
bu. per acre, tops in a Mountain test. Earliest 
and highest yielding yellow corn, 1/3 more than 
Dixie 18, in 2 Piedmont 1951 tests. Earliest yel- 
low corn, lowest ears, yet one of the highest 
yielding in the 9 Coastal 1951 tests. 
$-2i7. 
Note 2 big solid ears on each stalk. 
OPERATING CORN PLANTERS BY TRACTOR TOO FAST CAUSES POOR STANDS 51

Many will have to plant round grades. They 
produce as much as flats, better than small flats. 
When flats are gone the price of rounds will go 
up. Save money by early purchase of good 
rounds and get planter plates that fit. 
WOOD'S V-125W WHITE DENT 
118 days, roasting ears 78 days. Best early 
milling corn. Grows off fast, dark green vigor- 
ous plant, matures and dries quickly. Made 
highest average yield of any corn in all Va. 
experiment station tests 2 years, and was low 
in moisture. Way outyielded all corns 3 years 
in Mason Co., W. Va. test. 
“For 3 years our mill paid a big premium 
for V-125W and agrees to do so for all | grow 
next year. They say it is the best they ever 
ground; has less rot; dries out quicker; can be 
ground earlier. It was under 16% end of 
Sept. when other corn had 18 to 20% mois- 
ture.”’—F. T. Harmon, Melfa, Va. 
“For 3 years it has been the best corn | ever 
had. Stood all winter; got done gathering it 
April 11./’—R. |. Coleman, Charlotte, N. C. 
L. N. James, has a commercial drier in eastern 
Carolina, says: ‘V-125 W is the ideal white corn 
for early market. Several hundred acres here 
came in early, stood well for mechanical harvest, 
and made big yields of best quality milling 
corn.’ Outyielded all pure white corns tested 
4 years in N. C. northeast Coast, Piedmont and 
Mountains, was the earliest white corn, driest at 
harvest, had 13% moisture where others had 
up to 19%, ears were lower, lodged less than 
other early white hybrids. 
Md. Highest 2 years in Eastern Shore tests, 
outyielded U. S. 578, U. S. 523W, Dixie 17, 22, 
33 and 1/3 more than Ind. 750 and Ky. 203. 
Averaged 112 bu. per acre, top white corn in 
3 tests. 
WOOD'S V-50 made 212.6 bu. acre 
in 1949, the 100 bu. Corn Club all time record. 
It made 181 bu. per acre, highest in 1951 con- 
tests east of the mountains. It outyielded all 
yellow corns, including VPI 802, in Eastern Va. 
experiment station tests 2 years. Has made 
high yields in Md. expt. sta. tests 6 years. Made 
a record 144.8 bu. per acre in a N. C. expt. sta. 
test. Highest 2 year average yield of any 
yellow corn in 4 Clemson, S. C. tests. Tops in 
yield and strong stalks in north Ga. tests. 
WOOD’S V-42 Yellow, early V-51 type 
113 days. A week earlier than V-51, same 
yield. Almost identical except sligntly longer 
ears and shorter stalk, easier to pick by machine. 
Ripens in time to sell on the high early market 
and follow with small grains. Good for late 
planting. 
WOOD’S S-211 GOLDEN PROLIFIC 
131 days. Consistently produces bumper 
crops of top quality feed corn in the Cotton 
Belt. Better quality ear, grain, shuck, weevil and 
disease resistance, stands up better and with- 
stands much more hot dry weather than S-210, 
N. C. 27, and most hybrids, and is better for 
the Carolina Coastal area. 
“S-211 way outyielded N. C. 27 and other 
local corns, and resisted weevil and storms. 
S-360 is the best white corn.”—J. A. Yancey, 
Cobb Co., Ga. 
V-125W has big beautiful ears, deep sound 
grain, small white cob, high shelling percent. 
WOOD'S V-51 Yellow Corn Champion 
120 days. Top yields in the Upper South from 
Md. to La. It made the highest average yield 
in all 16 of the Va. experiment station tests in 
which it has been entered, had drier grain, less 
broken stalks, better for corn picker than the 
other popular Va. hybrids. Outyielded popular 
yellow hybrids 2 years where tested throughout 
N.C. Top yield in Eastern Shore Md. expt. sta. 
test. Won 11 out of 12 1951 100 Bu. Corn Club 
contests reported to us. ‘’V-51 withstood the ter- 
rific 1952 drought best and won me top honors 
at Charlotte Fairs.’“—H. E. Bonds, Concord, N. C. 
WOOD’S V-51A, Improvement on V-51 
Identical to V-51 except slightly better yield, 
and grain color, roots not quite as strong. Out- 
yielded Dixie 18 in Northeast N. C. test, making 
114 bu. per acre, 23 more than U.S.578. 
V-51 stalks with 2 big solid ears held by Ben 
Mayo, Tarboro, N. C., says, “T. W. Wood & Sons 
have bred hybrid corn on my farm extensively 
for 7 years. Watching hundreds of hybrids 
tested year after year proved | should grow 
early, medium and full season corns. In 1952 | 
grew 120 acres of Wood's V-25Y extra early. It 
made big ears, low on small sturdy stalks, ideal 
for picker-sheller harvesting. Had 15% moisture 
when | marketed it in Sept., but stalks were 
still green enough not to break or uproot by 
the combine. Wood’s new V-26Y looked even 
better. For medium maturity | grew 250 acres 
of V-51. It has outyielded N. C. 27 and other 
corns 10 bu. per acre, actual weight. Quality 
very good. It is excellent for market or winter 
feed, much better for picker than my 210 acres 
of late corn | will crib for next summer.”
