Doesthe Moon Attest Vegetation ?
Aug. 13, '83.

To the Standard:
The question which heads this article
has been answered afirmatively and
negatively. An opinion has long pre-
vailed, that vegetables that grow above
ground, as peas, corn, beans, melons,
etc., should be planted during the
waxing or increase of the moon, in Or
der that they may grow rapidly, and
produce well.
Many modern philosophers have ad-
mitted that this idea is correct; and
they have endeavored to account for the
fact that vegetables which are planted
at such time that they will come up
when the moon is eleven or twelve
days old, seem to be more thrifty than
those which are planted when the
moon is twenty.six days old, on the
following principle:
Light is known to have an effect on
the growth of plants. Plants raised in
dark cellar appear weak::and sickly.
Plants raised in a house, in boxes, will
always bend toward window; there
fore plants which come up when the
the moon is eleven days old, will have
several bright moonlight nights to aid
them and stengthen them during the
time when they are young and tender.
1t is not, then the moon, but the light
of the moon which helps young plants.
Let us now reverse this idea and see
if we cannot kill plants by depriving
them Of light. l want to see every
farmer in Warren county, try an expe-
riment.
On Tuesday, Aug. 2O, let every
farmer "clean up" an old field
by grubbing all the bushes and briers
in it. Record the day, and the age Of
moon when the work is done, stake the
ground which has been cleaned up,
(if it is in large old field, and wait
nine months.fo the result. Many wise
men have said that farmers will
not be troubled with briers and bushe;
in field so managed.
Remember, that the object now is tt
kill vegetation, and not to make it live
Clean an old field in August, in or
der that there may be less tendency tt
sprOut again, as most plants sprOu
more quickly in May and June than
they do more lately in the year. If the
grubbing is done in September or DC
tober, nature seems to have on hand
some buds which are preparing t.
"shoot" next year, and these buds ar'
notldisturbed by grubbing, unless the
grubbing is very deep. 1t is difficult
to make a fruit tree live, if it is trans
planted in August.
Inow suggest to ThOs. s. Myers, M
D. D. Boyd, S. A. Safely, Henderson
McGreger, and all Others who have
friends buried at Smyrna, to come OIL
the said Tuesday, with force Oftwent,
five, armed with hoes, grubbing hoes
