“N/-26Y is as good a yielding corn as you can 
plant,”” thinks Ben Mayo, Tarboro, N. C. Virgil 
Burnett, his foreman, shows its tremendous yield 
of big sound ears placed low on short stalks 
that stood much better than corns like N. C. 27. 
Despite the terrible drought this 14-acre field 
yielded 99 bu. per acre of dry shelled corn har- 
vested by picker sheller Sept. 1, 1953, and sold 
at a big price. Spaced 10’ in 38’” rows. 
HYBRID TRUCKER’S FAVORITE 
115 days. Best early garden corn for the 
South. Tender delicious roasting ears in 76 days. 
Has all good qualities of Trucker’s Favorite, /2 
greater yield, larger, more attractive uniform 
ears of better quality. Bring higher prices on 
the market. The earliest white milling corn, 
brings a big premium for finest quality meal. 
Outyields Ky. 203 and Ind. 750. Top yields 
in N. C., Va., W. Va., and Tenn. Mountain tests. 
“| tried Wood's Hybrid Trucker’s Favorite be- 
side seed from another firm. Wood’s grew 
faster, more thrifty, had better roasting ears, 
ripened ears much larger, sounder and better 
for corn meal. You folks better keep this strain,” 
C. S. Looney, Winchester, Tenn.

“Wood’s Hybrid Trucker’s Favorite (left) made 
a tremendous yield of big sound ears despite 
the worst drought. Superior for roasting ears, 
hogging, early feed or white corn to sell mills 
for top prices when old corn is gone. Ears and 
yield are 3 times as large as old Trucker’s Favo- 
rite (right).’—F. Strickland, Tabor City, 
52 N.C. 
WOOD'S V-26 and V-26Y Extra Early 
110 days. Roasting ears 72 days. Good shuck. 
Revolutionizing hog growing in the Souih. 
Yield like late corns. Can hog off in July and 
Aug. and sell hogs at peak Sept. prices; or har- 
vest with picker sheller and sell at peak summer 
corn prices. Ideal planted late. Top yields in 
short mountain seasons. 
V-26. N. C. Recommends it for Upper Moun- 
tains whe-e it made top yields 4 years, far bet- 
ter than Ohio C-54, earlier, 3% less grain mois- 
ture, stronger stalks. Tops in 9 Va. mountain 
tests 3years. Made 159 bu. per acre, highest 
of 50 leading early hybrids in 1951 Conn. test, 
outyielding Ohio C-54 55 bu. and U.S.13 38 bu., 
earlier, ears lower, stronger stalks. - Highest in 
4 W. Va. tests 2 years. Highest in a Md. test, 
far better than U.S.505 and U.S.578. 
V-26Y, improvement on V-26 in yield and 
grain quality. Highest yield in a 1952 Va. High 
Elevation test, was low in broken and lodged 
stalks, has best grain quality. Tops in N. C. Low- 
er Mt. test, outyielding Ohio C-54 10%, better 
quality grain, more prolific, no lodging. 
“| am much pleased with V-26Y. It yielded 
115 bu, per acre despite a bad storm, followed 
by terrible heat and drought. It resisted disease 
and insects.’’—O. L. Hamlett, Alleghany Co., Va. 
“\/-26Y, the best and earliest | ever grew, 
planted in March, can be hogged off in June.” 
—Gaddy McCormick, Marion Co., S. C. 
“For 2 years V-26Y withstood the extreme 
droughts much better and far outyielded all 
other corns planted with it in our hogging down 
tests. It had a superior root system, is quite 
early and hogs seem to prefer it to other varie- 
ties. Our farmers are well pleased with it. 
l am recommending it for hogging off.’’—D. A. 
Shelley, Co. Agt., Barnwell, S. C. 
V-30 has large sound beautiful ears, big flinty 
golden grain, small cob, high feed value, dry fast. 
WOOD’S V-30 Extra Early Yellow 
110 days. Similar to V-26Y in pedigree 
and use, slightly better yield, sounder ears, 
flintier, better color and feed value. Best hybrid 
of Ohio C-54 maturity. Highest yield and sec- 
ond earliest of leading early yeliow hybrids like 
N.C.36 at the 3 Fla. experiment stations in 1953. 
“M/-30 was excellent; despite severe drought 
each stalk made perfect ears.’’—C. G. Kilhoffer. 
““/-30 was the best, in fact very good, many 2- 
ear stalks, very firm ears, stood up perfect, was 
not hit by the drought like 5 other hybrids 
| grew.’—Geo. Jameson, Charles Co., Md. 
WOOD'S V-1 Earliest Yellow Dent 
90 days. Roasting ears 64 days. Our earliest 
hogging, roasting ear and feed corn for the 
South, or best yielding, strongest stalked crib- 
bing corn for high mountain farms. Lowest in 
grain moisture at harvest for safe cribbing. 
Grows fast, leafy, dark green, vigorous, most 
resistant to stalk and root rot. Ears low on 
short stalk, ideal picker type. Matures and 
dries fast, husks dry ahead of stalks. Heavy 
ears, medium size, top quality and feed value. 
Tidewater Va. Experiment Station says farmers 
need an earlier corn than Ohio C-54 for a corn- 
soybean succession, to hog off from middle 
July, finish and market at peak prices in late 
Sept. V-1 was ready to hog off July 20, 3 weeks 
before Ohio C-54, 
V-25 has big sound ears, broad deep goiden 
grain, high protein and feed value, small cob. 
WOOD’S V-25 Extra Early Yellow 
108 days. Most popular for short mountain 
seasons, or in the South for extra early feed, 
hogging or planting after early potatoes. Roast- 
ing ears 71 days. Approved by the Ga. Experi- 
ment Station. 11 N. C. farmers joined the 100) 
Bu. Corn Club with it in one year. Ears low 
on short strong stalks. Resists drought, storm 
and disease. “Excellent at 2,650 ft. for 4 years,” 
T. M. Calhoun, Grayson Co., Va. 
“The best corn in every way, yielding 100! 
bu. per acre,’’” A. McCutcheon, Fayette Co., W. Va.. 
“It made way over 100 bu. per acre. Some 
hills had 6 ears, 10 inches long. My county 
agent and everyone said it was the best they 
ever saw.’’—J. H. Price, Raleigh, W. Va. 
WOOD'S V-25E Extra Early Yellow 
108 days. Improvement on V-25 in yield, 
disease resistance, stalk and root strength, with 
larger sounder ears. Excellent for cribbing in 
the Mountains. Ideal for extra early feed, 
hogging or late planting in the South. Roasting: 
ears 71 days. Ears very low on sturdy compact 
stalks, easy to harvest by machine. Planted 4 
closer in the row it yields like late corns, but 
matures in summer and brings a big premium 
when old corn is used up, a most profitable crop: 
after 2 years’ drought has emptied corn cribs.. 
V-25E has big solid ears, deep golden grain, 
closely packed, small cobs, highly nutritious.
