The soil was then covered with discs of tar paper soaked in a strong solution of carbolineum, and the rim was smeared with "tangle- foot" to prevent contamination by insects. It was amply proved by plating out soil from various depths that the soil was actually sterile. When sterilization of the twenty tiles had been completed, the soil in ten of them was inoculated with sub-cultures from a single spore strain of the organism, by emptying the contents of a culture growing in plain corn meal in 1000 cc.
