STERILIZING BY HOT WATER. 



Method of Soil Disinfection. 



The use of steam for soil sterilization 

 has become a routine practice among 

 growers of tomatoes under glass, and the 

 beneficial results which are achieved by 

 this method of soil treatment are so well' 

 known as not to require further em- 

 phasis, but for cultivation in small green- 

 houses and for seed growing in pots and 

 boxes, steam sterilization, owing to the 

 fact that it entails special equipment, 

 has never been generally adopted. For 

 such work some simpler method is re- 

 quired. Of these methods the chief are 

 the hot water process, the formaldehyde 

 process and that involving the use of 

 carbon bisulphide. The first method has 

 been tlic siihicct ot' iii\p<tit;;itioiis iiy

 United States Dcjiartincnt of Agricul-

 bulletin No. 818. 



For the purpose of their experiments 

 they used, in the first place, soil known 

 to be infested with various soil pest.s

 serious damage to tomatoes, and various 

 soil fungi, including the damping-oflf
