French bands at the commencement of the

INTERESTING RESULTS

Obtained in Plant Growth by Use OF
Incandescent Gas Light, at the
West Virginia Experiment Station.
Spinach, Cabbage, RadiSh, Lettuce
and Tomato Plants Show Marked
Susceptibility to the influence Of
the Light.
The effect OF incandescent gas light
as stlmuius to plant growth has been
made the subject OF study by the hortl-
culturlst at the West Virginia agricul-
tunl experiment station, at Morgan
town. and the bulletin just issued ON
that subject, CNO. Gs), gives an account
OF tho behavior of plants when placed
under the stimulus Of this light for var
lous periods.
Perhaps we cannot do better than TO
repeat the summary Us stated In, the
bulletin. While It does not explain the
methods employed, It sets forth the
conclusions which We're arrived at dur
ing the course Of the experiment.
1.-The incandescent gas light of the
velsbach burner, is an active stimulus
to plant growth when used at night to
supplement daylight.
2.-Iettuce plants subjected to the In
fluence OF the incandsscent gas light ut
night were taller and heavier than
plants OF the same variety and seed
sowing grown in normal conditions
s.-That lettuce and spinach subject
ed to the stimulating influence OF the
light grew faster and completed their
growth In less time than plants OF the
same sorts from the same seed sowing
grown In normal conditions.
4-That no injurious effects resulted
from the use of the incaudescent gas
light.
6.--That the stimulating influence Of
the light, as Indicated by the growth of
plants used in the various tests, IS
shown by the order in which the sorts
are named, the first being the most
acknowledgement, cabbage. radIsh'
lettuce and tomato.
6.-That the range of light is some
what variable for the different crops.
In general the maximum growth was
obtained ut twelve to sixteen feet from
the light, while u perceptible Increase
was noticed at twenty-four feet.
