Narrative
Inbred derived through selfing and pedigree selection. Kernels and cob white, 170cm tall. Ear height 65cm in Raleigh. Poor seed producer, sheds pollen well. Male parent in single cross hybrid NC37 x NC34 that served as male parent of Dixie 17 Double Cross Hybrid. In the report of the Fifth and Sixth Southern Corn Improvement Conference of 1947, it was reported that in producing Dixie 17, NC34 was a good grower, but long husks interfered with silk emergence and had to be cut back when crossing with NC37. NC37 needed to be planted 10-21 days after NC34 to nick. The 1950 Eleventh North Central Region Corn Improvement Conference reported good Helminthosporium turcicum resistance.
