“For 4 years S-240 made bumper crops of 
big, flinty ears, placed low on strong stalks; 
heavy shucks; resists weevil, disease and 
drought.’—E. C. Cooper, Cumberland Co., N. C. 
WOOD'S S-240 YELLOW, FLINTY 
138 days. Our most weevil resistant, heaviest 
yielding yellow cribbing corn in the Southern 
Coastal area. Long tight shucks; heavy, solid 
ears and grain. Smooth dent. High vitamin, 
protein and feed value. Most prolific. Leaves 
wide, long and close together. Vigorous. Deep 
roots. Superior for grain or silage. 
“10 acres of $-240 doubled the yield of my 
other corn, fertilized and cultivated alike. It 
stood 100% in Oct. with no insect damage. It 
is as hard and has as good shuck as | ever 
grew.’’—T. R. Powers, Florence Co., S. C. 
D. A. Shelley, Co. Agt., Barnwell, S. C., says, 
“Wood's S-211 and S-240 had little or no weevil 
damage, made very good yields despite extreme 
drought and are worthy of more widespread 
planting. S-352 was best in 1953.” 
WOOD'S S-211 GOLDEN PROLIFIC 
132 days. For bumper crops of nutritious 
feed corn in the Cotton belt. Better quality ear, 
grain, flintiness, shuck, weevil and disease re- 
sistance, stands up better and withstands much 
more hot dry weather than most hybrids, and 
is adapted to the Carolina Coastal area. Deep 
sound kernel on small white cob, high shelling 
per cent. Ears placed low with few suckers. 
Often 2 to 3 good ears per stalk. 
Pyrenone dust on stored corn prevents weevil 
damage all season. Harmless to eat. 
WOOD’S S-210 GOLDEN PROLIFIC 
127 days. Our best early feed or hogging 
corn for the Deep South. A fine main crop corn 
in the Piedmont. Big beautiful sound ears with 
deep flinty, golden grain. High feed value. 
Small white cob, high shelling percent. Good 
shuck and withstands heat, drought, storms 
and disease as well or better than most hy- 
brids. Deep roots, wide leaves, dark green 
color. Grows off fast, matures early, dries 
quickly. We also recommend it for South Cen- 
tral and Eastern Va. Where black birds damage 
corn with poor shuck covering.

WOOD’S HYBRID CORN GRADES 
We started drying and processing corn in 
early September to assure you of the least 
amount of field damage possible. 
Flat Grades 
This year we are using the following specifi- 
cations in grading our hybrid corn: 
Extra Large Flats, through a 14 split sieve, 
through a 26 round, over a 24 round. There 
will be almost none of this type available, as 
most varieties are not that large. 
Large Flats will be through a 14 split sieve, 
through a 24 round, over a 22 round. 
Medium Flats will be through a 14 split sieve, 
through a 22 round and over a 20 round. 
Small Flats, which are also known as Regular 
or Economy by some processors, will be those 
kernels that pass through a 20 and over an 18 
round, through a 13 split sieve. In this grade 
one bushel will plant more acres. 
Our seed will be treated with Arasan SF and 
DDT, packed in 1 bushel Ratscat Treated cotton 
bags. 
Round Grades 
Large Rounds are over a 14 split sieve, 
through a 24 round, over a 22 round. 
Medium Rounds are over a 14 split sieve, 
through a 22 and over a 20 round. 
All rounds will be treated and bagged the 
same as flats, and will be offered at $2.50 
per bushel below the price of flat grades on 
each variety. 
Plant Rounds. Tests up to 10 years at Ex- 
periment Stations in 11 states show large 
rounds outyielded flats 6.2%, give more uni- 
form stands. Last year the intense heat and 
drought seriously hindered pollination of South- 
ern production fields, causing large rounds, and 
very little good flat grains. Agricultural Agencies 
advise farmers to buy good rounds, get planter 
plates to fit, and save money. 
Planting one variety of hybrid corn is like 
farming with one plow. Hybrids are developed 
to do a specific job just as plows are developed 
to do a specific job. 
We suggest that you study the description 
of each variety and plant 1 variety for early 
roasting ears, one for early feed, one for mar- 
ket, and another for cribbing. 
Usually the earlier the variety the smaller the 
plant. The smaller the plant the closer it can 
be planted in the drill. eig: V-26Y should be 
planted twice as thick as Dixie 18 with the 
same amount of fertilizer. V-51A 1/3 closer in 
the drill. 
WOOD'S S-352 WHITE PROLIFIC 
130 days. Our best pure white milling corn 
in the cotton belt. A pure white corn on a 
white cob, very prolific, with unusually high 
yielding record, similar in many respects to 
Dixie 17, other than our records show that it 
has better standing ability, approximately the 
same yielding ability, better shuck protection, 
about the same maturity and size of kernel, and 
is preferred by millers and exporters due to 
the white cob. It is adapted to the same re- 
gions as Dixie 17, yet its slightly better shuck 
allows it to go a little farther south with less 
insect damage.

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, V2 
greater yield, larger, more attractive uniform 
ears of better quality.Earliest white milling corn, 
brings a premium for fine quality meal. 
“| 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 larger, sounder and better for corn 
meal.’” C. S. Looney, Franklin Co., 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, Columbus Co., N. C. 
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 farm- 
ers plant it to harvest early and follow with 
small grains. Short stocky stalk. Ears uniformly 
low; easy to harvest ‘’V-40 out-yielded any corn 
| ever grew, 25 bus. per acre. Stood drought and 
storm better.’—G. F. Jarrett, Burke, Co., N. C. 
“V/-4Q0 stood storms better and out-yielded 
other corns 10 to 15 bu. per acre.’’—L. A. Kes- 
singer, Giles Co., Va. 
V-40 has large beautiful ears with 20 rows of 
deep sound grain, high shelling per cent.
