Wood’s V-26Y hybrid corn and Early Wood's Yel- 
low Soybeans hogged July 15 by F. Strickland, 
Columbus Co., N. C. He says: “It will furnish 
all the hogs can eat thru Thanksgiving. V-26Y 
is the best corn for early feed or hogs, a month 
earlier than Dixie 18, stood the severe drought 
and intense heat much better. It grew off fast. 
The leaves stayed green thru the drought until 
its big sound ears matured; placed low on 
short sturdy plants. It has excellent roots.” 
WOOD'S V-26Y Extra Early Yellow 
110 days. Roasting ears 72 days. Best yields, 
stalk, root and ear for short mountain seasons, 
or extra early feed or hogs in the South. V-26

highest in 1951, outyielding VPI 645. Made 
158.7 bu. per acre, highest of 50 leading 
hybrids in Conn. test outyielding C-54 55 bu., 
U.S.13 37.5 bu., earlier, stronger stalks. 
V-26Y, improvement on V-26 in yield, led 
1952 Va., N. C. and S. C. tests and farmer 
demonstrations of extra early corns, outyielding 
C-54, better ear, stalk and disease resistance. 
“N/-26Y was the best of 8 early hogging hy- 
brids | grew. It stood the long drought and 
made big ears with broad sound grain, ready a 
month earlier.’’“—Homer Harrelson, Loris, S. C. 
“N/-26Y is far the best of 10 early corns | 
grew or ever saw. Planted early it can be 
hogged July Ist.’’—L. Coleman, Tabor City, N. C.

E. K. Bobb, Charles City, Va., is well pleased 
with his 21 acres of V-25. “It made the 100 Bu. 
Corn Club with no extra fertilizer or effort. 
Grew off fast. Had medium low stalks with 
low ears, a good picker-type as stalks did not 
break off like most varieties. Ripe Sept. 10, 
allowing time to prepare for fall grains.”

a tremendous yield of big sound ears despite 
the worst drought and seasons. It is superior 
for roasting ears, hogging, early feed or white
