After locating the desired treatments by careful measurement, the duff, soil and sand which had washed over the area during the past years were removed until the outline of disturbed soil was visable. The amount removed is shown in the column marked "overburden removed". Samples were taken by means of a one-inch diameter soil probe. Approximately one pint samples were taken probes per sample) from the top 6", bottom 10" and 10" below original treated soil, and are labelled in order "A", "B" and "C".
