ELECTRICITY IN FARMING LIFE.
Experiments Show That Propa-
CATION of Animal and Plant
Life Can Be Increased

Professor Silas Wentworth Of Los
Gstos has been for the past year expert.
meptipg as to the influence Of electricity
in wool growing on the Taylor ranch
NEAR Roseville, California. The lines Of
the Great Western Power Company run
through the ranch.
To the east Of the Tyler ranch q road
rms which is 80 feet wide. and which
susrates two large fields Of like char.
.cter Of soil and grazing. A flock Of
1000 sheep. divided BY taking each al

The Sheep Dioidsd
The 1000 sheep thus put in pasture to

auence Of the electric current which was
conveyed by the power lines across the
pasture overhead. while the sheep to the
east Of the road were not under that in.
huence. as no power lines ran across
that pasture.
Professor Wentworth, whose writ.
ipgs on electricity have attracted the
attention Of the scientific world. claims

Increase in Lambs
Ia the field under the electric power
line the lambs average q fraction over
two lambs to each eve. In the adjoin.
ing field where the electrical influence
was lacking the lambs averaged less
than one to the eve. Similar differ
ences were noted in the yield Of wool
from the sheep in the different fields.
The feeces from the sheep in the
electric Influenced field proved 20 per
cent heavier.
Electricity and Crops
Preparations are now being made to
plow up the two fields and wheat
planted. The power company will be
asked to extend power lines through
out the entire Tyler field, that the in
fuence OF the electric current may be
increased. Professor Wentworth be-
heves that the yield Of the Tyler field
will be over 100 per cent heavier than
in the adjoining field.
II these experiments are successful

for use Of electric power. He believes
that power could be diverted for the
influencing Of fields by zigzag wires
across the land, and then back to the
main line without loss Of power.
