One hundred grams of unsteamed soil were shaken up with 250 of sterile water, allowed to stand 20 minutes, and the supernatant infusion (about 200 ) containing some soil in suspension was added to the steamed Fig. 72—Effect oj adding an infusion of unsterilised sod to a sterilized soil as indi- cated by a crop of wheat 44 days after planting Pot 32—Soil No. 5 untreated Pot j6—Soil No. 5 sterilized Pot 54—Soil No. 5 sterilized and treated with an infusion of the same soil not sterilized Soil No. 7 was placed in pots, four of which were steamed and two not steamed. Two of the steamed pots were treated with the infusion and two were not. One of each of the two pots receiving the same treatment was planted with wheat. The following are the pot numbers and treatments: Pot 63 steamed, not planted. Pot 64 steamed and planted. Pot 65 steamed + infusion of unsteamed soil, not planted. Pot 66 steamed + infusion of unsteamed soil and planted. Pot 67 unsteamed, not planted. Pot 68 unsteamed and planted. Fifty seeds were planted on March 22 in each of the planted pots. Following are the records of germination:.
