Instead, infection occurs principally from the fungus overwintering on crop refuse on and in the soil. For that reason, up to the season of 1924, infected seed was not used in these studies, but experiments were conducted by inoculating the seed with a pure cul ture of the organism and planting on virgin Soil. At planting time the seed to be inoculated was moistened with a Spore suspension Of the organism. Different strains of corn exhibiting various conditions of seed infection were used.
