Measure. Growth of Plants.

The United States department Of
agriculture has clever little instru
ment which Is used to record thu

which in no way harms the plant
To this clasp is attached a small lever
the point OF which is furnished with
all indelible pencil. which rests light
~ upon a paper record. As the plants
grow the pencil naturally travels up
ward and leaves on the paper a record
of the plants growth. This shows
the exact increase in growth Of plants
reared by electricity to those grown
normally.
