Narrative

A disease resistant synthetic from which disease resistant lines of Maize may be extracted by inbreeding. Res. to leaf blight caused by Helminthosporium turcicum and H. maydis. Res. to boil smut, stalk rot and seedling blights caused by various organisms.

"Strains of "Early Butler", "College Whitecap", "Early Sweepstakes", a longfellow flint and an early yellow dent, were detasselled and top crossed at the same time as the Sweepstakes Synthetic. In the disease nursery particular attention was paid to early maturity. The Synthetic was made up of S2 and S lines, pollinated 7/25 to 8/3 from a May 12 planting. This has been in isolation one season only and the seed is as variable as the lines which comprise it."
