V-38 big solid flinty ear and grain. Ideal for 
early hogging. Highest yield at V.P.I. in 1952. 
WOOD'S V-38 Early Yellow Dent 
112 days. Highest yields of top quality feed 
corn in the Upper Piedmont and Mountains, 
or in the South for early feed and hogging or 
late planting after early potatoes. Short sturdy 
stalks, ears low, ideal picker type. 
Yielded 10% more than any of the 25 hy- 
brids at V.P.I1., was lowest in broken stalks 
(under 1%) and second best grain quality. It 
silked earlier than U.S.13 and VPI 645, made 
19 and 20 bu. per acre more, had far less broken 
stalks and much better grain quality. 
Made 116 bu. per acre, one of the best of 
57 leading hybrids in the Conn. experiment 
station test, outyielding U.S.13 and 15 bu. more 
than VPI 645, silked 2 and 3 days earlier, had 
8 and 7% less broken stalks. 
WOOD'S V-44 Early Yellow Dent 
114 days. Superior for Piedmont and Moun- 
tains, or in the South for hogging or early 
harvest to sell when feed corn is short and 
high. Ripens and dries out fast. Short strong 
stalk, ears low, ideal for picker. Planted 1/3 
closer it outyields late corns. 
At the top in yield, stalk strength, grain 
quality and earliness in Northern Va. tests, far 
outyielding U.S.13, silked earlier, had much 
better grain quality and 9.3% less broken stalks. 
Made 116 bu. per acre, one of the best 
yields, strongest stalks and most mature of 57 
leading hybrids in the Conn. test. Outyielded 
U.S.13, 18% less lodged and broken stalks, 
2.4% less grain moisture at harvest. Yielded 
15 bu. per acre more than VPI 645, 12.8% 
stronger stalks, 4.7% less grain moisture. 
“The driest season on record with heat over 
100° burnt up other corns, but V-44 made a fine 
yield. It is the best early corn | ever tried.” 
—Fred Harmon, Melfa, Va. 
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 every year proved | should grow early, 
medium and full season corns. | grew Wood's 
V-26Y extra early. For medium | grew 250 
acres of V-51. It 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.” 
PLANT ROUNDS. Tests up to 10 years at Experi- 
ment Stations in 11 states show large rounds 
ou.yielded flats 6.2%, give more uniform 
stands. Last summer the intense heat and 
drought seriously hindered pollination of 
Southern production fields, causing large rounds 
and very little good flat grains. All Agricultural 
Agencies advise farmers to buy good rounds, 
get planter plates to fit, and save money. 
WOOD'S V-40 Early Yellow Dent 
115 days. High yields in the Upper Piedmont 
and Mountains, or for early feed, hogging or 
late planting in the South. Many southern 
farmers plant it to harvest early and follow with 
small grains. Short stocky stalk. Ears uniformly 
low; easy to harvest. Outyielded all corns 2 
years in N. C. Upper Mountain tests, with best 
grain quality, strong stalks and satisfactory early 
maturity. ‘“V-40 out-yielded any corn | ever grew 
25 bu. per acre. Stood drought and storm bet- 
ter.’—G. F. Jarrett, Burke Co., N. C. 
“\/-40 withstood a storm that blew down 
other corn and yielded much better. Good 
height; matured well; good flinty corn.’’—J. E. 
Milburn, Summers Co., W. Va. “V-40 stood 
storms better and out-yielded other corns 10 to 
15 bu. rer acre.’’—L. A. Kessinger, Giles Co., Va. 
V-40 has large beautiful ears with 20 rows of 
deep sound grain, high shelling per cent. 
WOOD'S V-51 Yellow Corn Champion 
120 days. Recommended in Southern Pied- 
mont and Eastern Va. Top yields in the Upper 
South from Md. to La. Won 11 out of 12 100- 
Bu. Corn Club Contests. 
Highest average yield in 24 Va. experiment 
station tests for 3 years; had better grain quality, 
drier at harvest, less broken stalks, better for 
corn picker than U.S. 262A, U.S. 357A, etc. 
Highest average yield of any yellow corn in 
10 N. C. tests for 3 years, from Mountains to 
Coast; was prolific, had good grain quality, low 
in moisture, ear height and suckers. One of 
the highest yielding yellow corns in 5 Pied- 
mont S$. C. tests. Tested and Approved by the 
Ga. Experiment Station for Piedmont Ga. 
In Eastern Md. tests for several years V-51 
has made high yields, low in grain moisture, 
unsound ears and lodging. 
Outyielded all but one of 24 yellow hybrids 
in 6 Ala. tests, 15% more than N.C. 27 in North 
Ala. and 40% more than Dixie 18 in Central 
and South Ala. 
Made 112 bu. acre, tops in yield and stalk 
strength in a Northeast La. test, shortest stalk, 
lowest ear, 2 ft. below Dixie 18. 
Farmers report a bu. of V-51 ears weigh %4 
more than other hybrids, has higher feed value 
and animals prefer it. 
P. E. Parker, Jr., Asst. Co. Agent, Hertford 
Co., N. C., reports drought hit their corn test, 
but Wood’s Hybrids did well. V-125W was the 
best white. V-51A outyielded popular yellows. 
V-42 has beautiful large solid ears placed 
low on a sturdy»stalk. It outyielded all yellow 
corns in the 6 Va. Coast and South Piedmont 
-experiment. station tests, 20% more than U.S. 
262A. Was-eartier and had better quality grain, 
drier at harvest than U.S. 262A and U.S. 578. 
WOOD'S V-42 Early Yeliow Dent 
118 days. Similar to V-51. Made 123 bu. per 
acre, tops in yield and grain quality in 1952 
N. C. early test of 41 varieties, 14 bu. more 
than N.C. 27, was earlier, grain had less moisture 
at harvest, eared 5 inches lower, easier to harv- 
est. Outyielded U.S. 357A 17 bu. per acre 
lodged 5% less and had 3% less grain mois- 
ture. Yielded 20 bu. more than U. S. 262A. 
Made 129 bu. acre, highest of 57 leading 
early hybrids from all over the country in the 
Conn. test, 16 more than U.S. 13, with 5.4% 
less broken stalks, and 28 bu. more than VPI 645. 
WOOD'S V-51A, Improved V-51 
Identical to V-51, with slightly better yield 
and grain color. Recommended in Northeast 
N. C. where it averaged 112 bu. per acre 2 
years, outyielding U.S. 262A, U.S. 357A, U.S. 
578, Dixie 18, etc., with top grain quality, drier 
at harvest. Outyielded N.C. 27 in 7 North Ga. 
tests 2 years. ““V-51 yielded fine despite the 
record drought. It resists heat, disease, insects 
and storms.”’—S. Epperly, Montgomery Co., Va. 
V-51A sturdy stalk, big solid ears. “I like V- 
51A best. It outyielded 3 good hybrids, lodged 
less and affected less by insects. | helped check 
corn plots and V-51A looked the best.” 
—M. A. Edwards, Isle of Wight, Va. 51
