The Electric LIght.as an Aid to Plant
Growth.

Interesting experiments are being con-
Quoted in several of the stations of the De
partment of Agriculture with the purpose
of testing the effect of electricity and cleo
trio lights upon plant growth. Some Of
the results already secured are remarkable.
At the Ithaca experiment station Prof.
Bailey has conducted tests, both with a
naked arc light and with one covered by a
globe He hung the uncovered arc light,
of 2000 candle power, inside his greenhouse,
burning it all night. He found that the
plants matured earlier than others in a
greenhouse lighted only by the sun. The
nearer the plants were to the light, the
faster was their growth. 1t is found that
the lives of certain plants are so much
FASTENED by bare electric lights that they
cannot supply themselves fast enough with
food, such as water, for instance. BY re-
moving them to greater distance a certain
point will be found where water may be
supplied fast enough to meet the require
ments. Prof. Bailey believes that if grown
under electric lights for several generations,
plants will adapt themselves to fastened
growth, just as they have become used to
greenhouse life in winter.
One of his experiments was to hang the
globe of an arc light above the glass roof of
the greenhouse, it being so arranged that
only one-half of the building received the
light at night. The plants in the lighted
apartments were found to be far superior
to those in the darkened one 4 bed Of
one hundred violet plants was set in the
lighted compartment, half Of the bed being
covered each night with black enameled-
cloth box, provided with ventilation. In
three weeks those receiving the electric
light every night began to bloom while
those receiving only the sunlight did not
bear bud for five weeks. Lettuce was
greatly advanced by exposure to the cleo
ric light. The colors of tulips were also
affected. They became deeper and richer
in shade but lost their intensity after four
or five days. Petunas grew much taller
and more slender and blossomed earlier
and more profusely. Some plants were pc
culiarly attracted by the naked arc light
and would be found to lean toward it after
nights exposure at an angle Of a. de-
grees. During the day they would straight
en- up but they bent oward the light again
at night.
A criticism which has been advanced
against the practicability of these electro
agricultural experiments is that the extra
expense of running a dynamo will more
than cover the money saved by rapid de-
velopment of crops. In the Utah expert
ment station, however, experiments are
being made with view to provide against
this objection. To pole 20 or more feet
high has been attached long wire, termi-
mating in a copper brush. The wire is con
nected with a grating beneath the ground
for distributing the currents. The cleo
tricity which always pervades the atmos-
phere, even on clear days of summer, was
found sufficient to stimulate the growth OF
certain vegetables. The experimenters be-
lieve that this fact can be. made to yield
| in agricultural pursuits.
