jN - . C. Experiment Station 
is indicated by the experiments of Lipscomb and Corley 43 who reported that 
the fungus is killed when dry diseased seed are heated at 100° in a vacuum 
or in an atmosphere of nitrogen. The reduction of the water content of 
seeds which are to be treated for anthracnose is sought only as a means of 
conditioning them to withstand the ordinarily injurious effects of the high 
temperatures necessary to kill the invading fungus.
