1t has long been a problem how to apply
electricity TO the growth Of plants. Tee Of
the electric force for such o purpose is still
ia the experimental stage, but enoGKn .las

possibilities in the case.
In one series OF experiment., the seeds OF
beans, sunfowers and winter and spring
rye were used. The seeds we're soaked.
electrified and Immediately sown. The
plants were more fully developed, their
leaves were larger aud their color brighter
than those grown from non-clectriied seed
but the yield was not affected.
In another series Of experiments plates
OF copper and zinc about two feet by two
feet six inches were buried at the end Of
the plots and connected by their upper
faces, the effect being to establish a current
through the earth. The result was n larger
crop. and vegetables Of enormous size.
In the third series electrical collectors
were mounted on insulated rods and con
nected by wires, the effect being 70 obtain
highly electrified atmosphere Seecs Of
rye, corn, oats, barley. peas clover, pota-
toes aud fax were used. This form OF ap-
plication increased the yield OF seed an
average of one-haf, and that ot straw one
third, while the ripening was more rapid.
TWAS also found that potatoes grown by
this treatment were rarely diseased, and as
the beneficial effects Of electricity on vines
attacked by phylloxera have already been
observed II Is possible that means have
been found Of combating the microscopic
pests which attack vegetable growth. 49,

On Monday morning at 9 O'Clock,
at the home of his parents in st.
Louis, Mo, formerly of Mexico,

Orting, died, after an illness of
several months. Mr.. Carson was

all with whom he came in contact.
About a year ago, however, MIR.
Carson was detailed for work at

river at which place he contracted
a severe cold, ultimately setting
on his lungs occasioning hemor-
rhages. He, accompanied by his
wife, returned to Orting to the

Mr.. and Mrs. J. N. Bowlin, where
for a time he seemed to improve.
IL was not permanent, however,
and some months ago he went east
where, after travelling some, he set.
tied down in his parents home.
Mrs. Carson went to him about q
month ago. "Bud" leaves a host
of mourning friends who join with
